This was a good book, but I sometimes found it heavy reading in these heavy times.

I wish someone had told me sooner that this book is like a war movie, or an epic like the Aeneid, but done by rabbits because I would have read it much sooner. The middle kind of slowed down a bit too much for my liking, but overall I was highly entertained by this book and I understand why it’s so beloved

not as bad as I recalled but still plenty of chauvinism and sections of weird logic.

I loved the realization of the rabbits' world and the development of the many characters. There were a few times that I thought parts of it might be too long, but looking back on it, I wouldn't change a thing.
