This book almost made me hate cats. Almost.

Don't expect cute and happy and hopping little bun-buns. There's violence, implied rape, death- a lot of things you normally wouldn't find in a children's' book. But Richard Adams has dealt with these issues in the most imaginative way, so there's really no reason to stay away from it. I have never felt so much for a rabbit in my entire life.

Great use of the made-up Lapine language, and I enjoyed the rabbits' folktales as well. A real great read and would 100% recommend.
