About this listen
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....

Another great book from Jasper Fforde
Funny, charming and expertly done satire. This book is less "crazy" than all his other books, there is only one wild idea, but i loved it just the same.

I just didn't think this was funny or good
The author has obviously read the UKIP (far right political party in Britain) handbook and certain newspaper comments section and written a thinly disguised book about it.
I was really in the mood for some gentle British humour. It is so gentle it passed me by completely, like a Summer zephyr. The author tried really hard to be funny and surrealist. But his mind (if you can judge from one book) is just not arranged that way.
I also found one particular moment in the book completely jarring. I can't say what it is, because someone else may have the misfortune of picking up this book, but it involves creating an entirely new group of characters midway into the book. This was such an obvious device and I find that just awful.
