A review by kirstiecat
The Rabbit Factory by Larry Brown

3.0

I was a little disappointed in this one even though I think it's above average for your paperback fiction. I thought it was funny and overall well written but it definitely didn't enrich my life in the long run, teach me anything new, or inspire me in any way. Basically, I would put this novel in the category of books to read when you need something a little smart, a little funny, and quite engaging that will help you fill space in your life if you can't handle anything with a deeper, richer meaning. It's strengths are that it does a good job satirizing Hollywood, a Disney-like company, and it is written with an active voice. It's main weakness is it's formulaic plot in terms of the police detective investigating a series of amusement park murders.

Within a certain frame of mind, this book may be just the break your life needs but I was hoping for something that left me with a deeper impression. I expect a great deal from novels, unfortunately, and I am easily disappointed. This, I know well.
