I haven't gotten that far, barely a hundred pages in. I really gotta stop leaving it to read on my sub days, I almost always end up in the library finding other books I want to read.
Anyway, I'm finding it quite slow as well. It's not bad, but I keep waiting for something more to happen. *shrugs* I'll keep on going though!
The "mystery" of the warren was interesting but not, idk, FULFILLING. That's all I've liked so far. Fiver annoys me, but I've always disliked Cassandra-based characters that people don't believe, then believe, then don't believe, and around again, which is totally what Hazel is doing.
I read it for the first time last year, and I'm feeling crushed by things I need to read right now (need isn't *quite* the right word, I may have joined two more online bookgroups, one specifically for reading more diverse books).
I imagine it works a bit better as an audiobook, when you're an adult at least, in terms of being less boring/tedious. I didn't love it or hate it, but I could see maybe why people get attached to it? I think people really do love the fact that the rabbits aren't holding pencils or aren't sort-of rabbits in a fantasy world where they have opposable thumbs.
Man, what is wrong with Firefox's built in dictionary? It didn't think the work opposable existed...
Oh yeah, the talking and mental stuff I don't count. Mainly I note it's exceptionally popular among furries and one of those "the first book that awakened the latent furry" or whatever.
And, yeah, I'm in four total now too. It's madness. And I need to quit requesting Early Reviewer books unless it's something I know I'll read anyway. Sigh.
Yeah, I try not to hold it against the book--buuuut my only furry friend, who's been a furry since I met him in the early '90s, thinks it's the greatest book in the world.
It did grow on me, and I'm going to post the spoiler thread in a sec.
I just reread what I wrote before, and it looks like I mean this book when I say that I run one. OH NO, I decided to start a real life one TOO.
Sigh. But Murphy's Law states that now that I've overdone it, I'll probably get a job and have even LESS reading time. Works for me!

Also, I keep forgetting Hazel is a boy.

I joined THREE more book clubs in the past month. Am I crazy? Wait, no, four. Including one I'm running myself.
