Rabbits used cars

When the shotgun went off under Johnnie Burchill s brother s chin word had it the top of his head came off like the top of a turnip lantern Then it got stuck by means of a jagged triangle of bone into the upholstery of the roof of the Land Rover A thing like that spreads around The story I mean Not the head. Rabbitsmeet.com A hedonistic whirlwind of a novel Rabbits so delightfully captures the testosterone fueled awkwardness of youth the fierceness of loyalties tested it captures so very beautifully the anxiety ridden ferality of being young and it does so with this blissful drugged up numbness It s aristocratic excessiveness in a novel it s a hugely entertaining thing a story of friendships murder danger and drug fueled stupefaction It s a novel of being an outsider in a place where you do not belong and it s a highly self indulgent thing as perhaps all the greatest novels are Knowing absolutely nothing of the author or the novel itself going into this the only idea I had of it was Saltburn with kilts what a fantastic surprise it was It s a hidden delight a gem shining amongst the dirt The whole thing is slightly fuzzy around the edges blurring and swirling forever shifting what it s really about. Rabbits used cars Certainly this kaleidoscopic story deserves to be well known than what it is And it s clear that with this novel Rifkind has written about what he knows most intimately aristocratic success and posh boarding school experiences Told to us by an only sometimes lovable slightly unreliable narrator Rabbits takes on the form of a fictional autobiography one that s populated by extremely unlikeable irritating arrogant and at worst utterly detestable people who only seem to sink lower as the story unfurls Rabbits offers up a stark and shocking glimpse at a world fueled by parties drugs careless attitudes and far far too many guns It s all so very compulsively readable a blazing blur tinged with a smoky haze in which its mystery hides A whole doomed world teetering on the edge of an entropy I recognised even then and perhaps even reveled in but without ever quite grasping what entropy entails And it has taught me I suppose that you can t cling on to things that are crumbling Because you will break your nails and you will fall and then you will look back up and wonder how it can be that something which once seemed as solid as stone itself is now barely there at all. Rabbits as pets How lovely it was to experience a slice of Dark Academia that challenges typical convention by being cast not stateside but in Scotland instead Rabbits is part The Secret History part Saltburn part These Violent Delights and part the best bits of a genre stretched all too thin and losing its meaning It s a return to what Dark Academia should be a murder mystery dedicated to the epicurean elite Everything contained within Rabbits is about superiority or at least the fragile perception of it In the end it s a tale as old as time the unhinged behavior of teenage boys with too much money the discarding of empathy that comes with feeling untouchable Despite the drama of it all it s in no way a fast paced story In fact everything stretches out in a rather slothful manner By no means is this the perfect dark academia novel in fact perhaps it s much better described as a murder mystery suffused with academic undertones regardless it s an enjoyable wonderful soulful novel. Rabbits kindle store Do long summer evenings ever make you depressed I know they re not supposed to They do me though and I think it started then after Alan had gone The warmer the night the greater the scented potential the bleaker I felt English This was a refreshing change compared to the type of books I ve read lately When I saw this marketed as Saltburn with kilts I was pretty much sold Not sure how much I agree with that comparison though it leaned to Secret History dark academia vibes I loved the Scottish setting Tommo was an interesting narrator who I liked but at times found a little try hard and cringe I enjoyed the mystery within this too and thought it concluded well I really enjoyed this one but wish at times the pace picked up a little Overall a solid 3. EPub rabbits rabbits 5 4 star Can t properly decide so have rounded up English I was promised Saltburn in kilts and I got something even better Granted I thought Saltburn was bit crap but I dont think Rabbits is crap or one to skip out on so go get it It had an incredible balance between the naivety of a teenage boy and complex larger social structures Unlike other stories that claim to deal with themes like class and elitism Rabbits actually does and Rifkin s voice brings a sort of endearment and charm to the characters And as much as I enjoy my unreliable narrations to have a bit subtlety it perfectly falls in place with the whole insecure teen boy character and develops alongside him which is very cleverly handled in slight turns of phrases. Rabbitslides Some areas could have done with a faster pace in my opinion and I did feel a little off balance with the way that Tommo was presented as not that smart but then studied philosophy at Cambridge I think this was a missed opportunity for the characters development But aside from these frankly very small nitpicks this book was so enjoyable. Book rabbits I never say this but if you re a fan of the secret history give this a go English DNF I really wanted to love this It sounded right up my alley I think this book simply just isn t for me It s kind of like being in a Scottish boy s brain observing his thoughts I think all of the slang is keeping me from connecting with what s going on English I enjoyed this book having been promised a Scottish Saltburn which spanned a great amount of time and opened a window into the fading world of the aristocracy and how out of touch they were rapidly becoming at the turn of the millennium The darker themes alluded to at the beginning of the book didn t feel as well explored as they could have been I get that the purpose may have been to present a darker undercurrent but when it is set up as the basis of the plot I felt it should have been explored as the narrative developed The end result was a close which felt rushed even if it was an unexpected ending Overall an enjoyable read but I didn t feel the plot was fully explored in the time available English

Tommo has just moved to a prestigious boarding school A product of the middle class and with new found independence thrust upon him he finds himself invited into fading crumbling country houses It s the early nineties and the elite he is now surrounded by is struggling for relevance Alienated from the mainstream and running low on inherited wealth his peers have retreated into snobbery and fatalism Initially awed by their poise and seduced by their hedonism Tommo gradually becomes aware of sinister undercurrents and a suppressed rage that threatens to explode into violence In this world half remembered traditions mix with decadence and an awful lot of small dead animals And sometimes not just animals When Tommo s friend Johnnie s brother is found dead a shotgun at his feet he realises there are secrets that everyone knows but no one speaks about or even acknowledges And those secrets can no longer be hidden Rabbits author Hugo RifkindMasterfully written What initially feels like a public school romp and a stereotype of the upper classes unravels into a tale of friendship loyalty love and loss It is a hilarious book for most of it with a fluidity in its hilarity but also a deeply moving modern coming of age storyline I didn t think I d enjoy this book as much as I did Highly recommended even if you don t like rabbits in fact even if you do English.
