I first read this book when I was young, around 10 or so. The adult bits skipped right by me, so engrossed in the story was I.
Objectively, you wouldn't think a story about rabbits would be that engrossing, the other books out there that you think of when you think of stories written about Rabbits: Peter Cottontail, Br'er Rabbit, the Velveteen Rabbit, for instance, don't really put the words "action and adventure" "survivalist" and "fierce" into anyone's mind.
But that's the artistry of this book, is that it takes an animal that we don't ascribe much valor, or bravery to, and creates a complex, and believable world where those things very much exist. Unlike the Redwall books, this is not set in a world where animals speak, stand, move about like humans, but rather interfaces, confusedly with the world of humans, seeing their actions at times predatory, at times simply mysterious.
The story starts with the premonitions of a rabbit named Fiver, that something bad is going to happen to the warren where they live. A few believe his visions, and the journey beings, as the rabbits travel to find a place to settle, they meet with a few other warrens that teach them lessons about how things aren't always what they seem, and what's worth fighting for.
And then there's the best bit - the rabbit-lore, the stories of the trickster El-ahrairah a sort of Robin Hood of rabbits, whose tales are interspersed through-out the book.
If the profile of the rabbit on the cover has you doubting that this book has impact along with an engrossing story line, remember, it had my attention at 10, and kept it well into adulthood, and I'm sure beyond!
