Just a perfectly sweet story. Makes you feel like a kid being told a bedtims story by a grandparent. 

I listened to Peter Capaldi narate it, he was fantastic.

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

I've always been interested in this book, telling myself I'd read it later, but I finally caved after I watched the BBC adaptation, followed by the old movie. 

This book is truly something special, and while the depiction of the does is sometimes somewhat questionable, the worldbuilding and characters still hold up after so many years.

Bigwig and Fiver will forever stay in my heart, I can't wait to buy the graphic novel when I get the chance.
