Summary
England, 2020.
There are 1.2 million human-sized rabbits living in the UK.
They can walk, talk and drive cars, the result of an Inexplicable Anthropomorphising Event 55 years ago.
And a family of rabbits is about to move into Much Hemlock, a cosy little village where life revolves around summer fetes, jam-making, gossipy corner stores and the oh-so-important Best Kept Village awards.
No sooner have the rabbits arrived than the villagers decide they must depart. But Mrs Constance Rabbit is made of sterner stuff and her family are behind her. Unusually, so are their neighbours, long-time residents Peter Knox and his daughter Pippa, who soon find that you can be a friend to rabbits or humans, but not both.
With a blossoming romance, acute cultural differences, enforced rehoming to a MegaWarren in Wales and the full power of the ruling United Kingdom Anti Rabbit Party against them, Peter and Pippa are about to question everything they'd ever thought about their friends, their nation and their species.
It'll take a rabbit to teach a human humanity....

More than I thought it would be
I loved this, it's obviously full of Jasper Fforde weirdness that you come to hope for and expect from one of his novels, but I wasn't expecting the discussion on human ways of doing things and actions and I came out of listening to it feeling thoughtful. I think this is the novel that we all need to hear this year!
Narration is good, lots of different accents

5 stars for originality
Really enjoyed this allegorical bunnies tale, a bit of a social commentary and a romping good story.

Fantastic
Jasper Fforde at his best, combining surreal comedy with a great storyline. I think this is my joint favourite Fforde novel, alongside The Big Over Easy. Loved it.

yet again pure brilliant
a fantastic book highlighting British racism and meekness. Will have all reactionaries snarling... "liberal bullshit".

One of his best
Jasper Fforde is on top form with this excellent satire. It's silly at times occasionally heavy handed, but also quite moving too. Highly recommended

Good story but the Narrator stole the show.
I have read all of the Jasper Fforde books. This one was a good story but not his best. I think if the narration that kept me listening and coming back for more.
