I didn't expect it to be so good.

The crux of the plot is about rabbits attempting to find a new home and survive - but the scope of the novel doesn't end there. It has the appearance of a children’s novel in that it is an exciting adventure about rabbits, but for an adult it has greater depth.

Adams gives each of the rabbits a unique and interesting character from which much of the strength of this novel springs. The dynamics in the group, the strengthening friendships, the teamwork used in overcoming challenges ... made me love so many of the characters. And even though the rabbits keep doing deeply rabbitty things, it is hard for me to not think of them as people that i like and care about. There are themes of duty, fate, friendship and love. These rabbits will always have a place in my heart.
