5.0
It is well written, intellectually stimulating, darkly funny, and relevant to the real world, yet still an enjoyable escape from it. I laughed, I cried, I reflected on humanity's place on the planet and in the universe.
I don't want to tell you too much, because just going in with an open mind and letting the story flow over you seems like the best way to do this one. Rabbits suddenly anthropomorphize and it's hard for humans to accept this new evolutionary neighbor. Hilarity, cringe, painful learning and conflict ensue, and the ending is heartbreakingly beautiful and satisfying. Literally trying not to cry publicly on the airplane where I just finished this book as I write this review.
For reference, I deeply enjoyed Early Riser, and I think this book is better.
Moderate: Violence, Animal cruelty, and Animal death
Minor: Gun violence, Pregnancy, Sexual content, and War
