I just couldn't get into this novel. Even though it was about the adventurous lives of a group of rabbits, I felt like the plot line was very slow. In between the storyline, the rabbits would stop to tell their own stories, which slowed things down even more. Parts of it were interesting and exciting, but the rest....meh. I'm afraid I just wasn't feeling this one.
