This made me feel like a little kid again which I know isn’t an easy feat. I was squirming reading this feeling so tense and anxious for battle rabbits in a society some parts even felt apocalyptic. An absolute page-turner this was awesome

One of my favorite books from my childhood and I'm happy it's still a very good read all these years later
I will admit slow paced books are almost always a struggle for me so that's a negative but everything else is pretty good, though i think some of the slow pace has to do with the few story chapters in between the chapters with our main characters

I was hesitant to read this book at first, because it's very different from what I usually read, but I ended up really enjoying it. There were some slow parts that were a bit tough to get through, especially the chapters where they told each other stories, but other than those parts it was a really fun heartwarming and adventurous story.

afion's review against another edition

Had to put this down due to the sexism unfortunately. Enjoyed the story up until the characters decided to go find female rabbits for the sole purpose of breeding with them. Thought this was a beloved children's book, not an animist version of The Handmaid's Tale. The worst thing is, the patriarchal rabbit societies aren't even biologically accurate as rabbit societies are actually matriarchal.
