Title: No one writes like Updike
Review: Sadly, John Updike is no longer with us. He leaves behind a very large body of work behind him, though, which is a solid legacy.The 'Rabbit' novels span a lifetime of an ordinary man who is faced with some extraordinary challenges. 'Rabbit Run' is the first in the series, and it ends on a memorable note. It doesn't exactly urge the reader on, but Updike is such a polished writer, he draws you in and you do want to read more about these characters.Highly recommended. These are not exactly a fast read, but very involving and thought-provoking. I urge any serious reader to read the series. And this is a well-priced grouping. I have bought the books as they've come out, but this is a much more economical way to read the novels.
