Book Review: Rabbit, Run (Updike)
Have I read this before: Nope.
Review: So this isn’t really a review of the book, but I was just looking up more info on it on Wiki and it says that Updike wrote the book as a response to Kerouac’s On the Road. I didn’t catch that explicitly when I read it, but now that I know that, I can really tell some of the same sorts of themes and even the same sort of style. Before I was going to write this blog I was thinking of comparing the book’s overall vibe to On the Road. So that’s cool.
Favorite Part: I really liked the opening of this book. I didn’t know what to expect from the book ‘cause I knew nothing about it, and was excited after reading the first several pages. That enthusiasm kind of wore off for me, haha, but that beginning was a great hook.
Rating: 4/10
The Rabbit Run
HOLY LORD!
So remember that blog a few days back when I was talking about Quake? Well, these guys apparently hold the record for finishing the whole game: 10 minutes and 58 seconds. It sounds pretty impressive, but wait until you see them play it. I have three words to describe them: Lords of Quake.
I have the utmost respect for these guys.
Oh, and by the way: this was done on Easy. The record on Nightmare (the hardest) difficulty? Just a minute slower.
