The Rabbit Club

A Novel

De: Christopher J. Yates

Narrado por: Jeremy Arthur, Will Watt, Imogen Church

An American student at Oxford. A secret society with a sinister streak. An unexpected twist you won’t see coming. Welcome to The Rabbit Club.

When Ali McCain, an eighteen-year-old from Los Angeles, is accepted at Oxford, it’s a chance to fulfill his dreams. To study English literature in England; to meet true intellectuals; and to glimpse the life he might have lived had his father—British rock star Gel McCain, legendary front man of the Pale Fires—not abandoned him and his mother when he was a toddler.

But not long after he arrives at the storied university, Ali is drawn into a dark, disorienting world where events grow more and more curious by the day. Trading on his father’s name, he gains entry into one of Oxford’s oldest and most selective secret societies, the Saracens. As he immerses himself in this rarefied world, he inadvertently sets in motion a series of events that might culminate in disaster.

A mind-bending literary house of mirrors, replete with bookish allusions and Easter eggs ranging from Brideshead Revisited to King Lear, The Rabbit Club is an arresting thriller by an acclaimed writer at the top of his game.

Juvenile

Wealthy kids at Oxford judge each other for being too wealthy. Of course, the Torries are evil scoundrels. I can tolerate all of this if the story is good. But it was boring, comical without meaning to be, and ridiculous.

Insipid

Forced myself to finish this book to see if it had some redeeming factors. Sadly, no. Seems like a complete slur on Oxford students. Pranks, over indulgence and trite back stories. Will probably not read more from this author.
