Did not expect to care about rabbits, but found myself proud of Bigwig when he selflessly took action and put his own life at risk for the others. Must admit to teary eyes at the end also.

Favorite quote: Wisdom is found on the desolate hillside ... where none comes to feed.

I thought that this was an amazing book...a wonderful social scientist kind of book. The government types are clearly represented. I thought the story was powerful and the characters lovely and memorable.
