Jenny Baker's Reviews > The Rabbit Hutch

I’m not sure how to rate this book. I kept asking myself, Do I like this? Should I keep listening to it? I kept listening, but it was a chore.

I saw this book advertised in an issue of Book Page magazine that I picked up from the library. The blurb caught my attention, especially when it mentioned that it was “a tale of loneliness and community, entrapment and freedom”. I love novels that explore these themes.

It’s an interesting story concept that was poorly executed and narrated by someone with a monotone voice, and that didn’t help the story at all. It was too easy for me to zone out. There were interesting moments in between a lot of boring ones. I just didn't care about the characters and the narrator almost put me to sleep.

This book is meant for a particular kind of reader and I’m just not one of them.
