I can't believe I waited so long to read this! I LOVED IT! I saw the movies eons ago and really didn't remember anything about it, except that it was a story about rabbits.

It's such a fun story and I really think it's one that anyone would enjoy.

I blew through this on the last day of vacation and traveling back home, I'll read this again for sure. ...more

fascinating to reread as an adult.

i love hazel, i love pipkin and fiver, and i really love the greek mythology parallels. the villain, the way hazel realizes to survive you have to do new things. the way the rabbits learn to survive, how to adapt.

it's really a remarkable work, and i am glad to see it on my shelf and pick it up to reread.

i would love to go to england and actually see the landscape. trying to figure out how big the distances are in the book is a little confusing. especially now ...more

I feel certain that I must have read this as a kid- but I had zero recollection of the plot, and think I must have missed it. I found the narrative a bit heavy-handed, but enjoyable nonetheless. I had a great deal of anxiety for these poor rabbits, and was surprised to be so drawn into the story within the stories!
