Rabbits
Terry Miles
2021 · 422 pages · Science fiction
How it reads
Rabbits is science fiction (speculative mystery thriller, specifically), and its dominant mood is eerie. It's atmospheric and uncanny, with a sense that something is wrong. It moves fast: plot-driven and hard to put down, the kind of book that carries you along even when you're tired.
It's set in a big city setting, in the present day, told in the first person by a single narrator. Its central concerns are identity, secrets and friendship. In weight it sits in the middle: substantial without being heavy going.
It opens a series. It ends on a cliffhanger, so have the next book ready. At 422 pages it's an ordinary novel's length. It's moderately known: read by plenty of people, but not a household name.

- you want a book that pulls you through
- you're drawn to stories about identity
Maybe not if…

- you want dense, lingering prose
