Just finished the first book, "Rabbit, Run." Angstrom is such an unlikeable character, but Updike's descriptions of the human condition are remarkable. He has a way of describing simple moments with clarity that gives you a real glimpse of his characters' minds and emotions. He puts words to circumstances that are fleeting to most, adding to his brilliance as a writer. I'm excited to keep reading. On to Redux...
