I did not finish due to the slower plot but thank God nothing happened to the rabbits in the 70 pages I did read.

I loved this book so much. I want to read it over and over. I also want to read the source material that Adams used. Rabbits are interesting and junk.

Took a bit to get the lapine lingo sorted out, but by the end I was very invested in what would happen to these little wabbits. Learned a lot and the hidden politics were eye opening.

I really loved this book! I’ve heard it referenced in way too many things, including Donnie Darko, to just ignore it any longer. And I’m so glad I decided to read it! The cute little rabbit culture has me hooked! I especially loved the folk stories told about El-ahrairah! That one at the end really brought it full circle for me. The story almost read like a grim-dark but I’m glad to have walked away from it so happy! Definitely worth a read

A fanastic book regardless of what age I read it at. Although I find myself raising my eyebrows at some of the more outdated elements of the novel, the book holds up pretty well.
