The Rabbit Factor
The Rabbit Factor | ANTTI. TUOMAINEN
4 posts | 3 read | 3 to read
An insurance mathematician's carefully ordered life is turned on its head when he unexpectedly loses his job and inherits an adventure park ... with a whole host of problems. A quirky, tense and warmly funny thriller from award-winning Finnish author Antti Tuomainen. Soon to be a major motion picture starring Steve Carell for Amazon Studios. What makes life perfect? Insurance mathematician Henri Koskinen knows the answer because he calculates everything down to the very last decimal. And then, for the first time, Henri is faced with the incalculable. After suddenly losing his job, Henri inherits an adventure park from his brother - its peculiar employees and troubling financial problems included. The worst of the financial issues appear to originate from big loans taken from criminal quarters ... and some dangerous men are very keen to get their money back. But what Henri really can't compute is love. In the adventure park, Henri crosses paths with Laura, an artist with a chequered past, and a joie de vivre and erratic lifestyle that bewilders him. As the criminals go to extreme lengths to collect their debts and as Henri's relationship with Laura deepens, he finds himself faced with situations and emotions that simply cannot be pinned down on his spreadsheets... Warmly funny, rich with quirky characters and absurd situations, The Rabbit Factor is a triumph of a dark thriller, its tension matched only by its ability to make us rejoice in the beauty and random nature of life.

We are still in Brittany, the weather hasn‘t been great but the rain is taking a break so I‘m enjoying one of my 40th birthday pressies (you are supposed to put ice in this Moët I‘m not an animal!) And continuing this thriller about an actuary and an adventure park.

SamAnne Looks lovely! Treat yourself! 1y

I'm looking the rabbit in the eye when the lights suddenly go out. With my left hand I squeeze the tube of industrial-strength glue, with my right I hold the screwdriver, and I listen.
