I loved “Rabit, Run,” Updike’s predecessor to this novel. I am choosing to give up on this novel because it feels as though nothing has changed in Rabit’s character, even though 15 years have taken place between these two novels.

Or is this what you were expecting going in having heard about it?

I didn't know anything beforehand, as it was Rabbit, Run that prompted me to read this novel. I feel comfortable quitting, Rabbit Redux seems as though Updike set out to produce new Rabbit novels without undergoing new creative thought.
I am interested in reading other Updike, but the entire Rabbit series is a bit strange given the release years: Rabbit, Run from 1960; Rabbit Redux 1971, Rabbit is Rich 1981; Rabbit at Rest 1990; Rabbit Remembered 2001.
