Sadly, the first 65 pages are infinitely more interesting once you've finished the book and start over again. This, of course, is no help for the first time reader.

Fortunately for me, when I picked up the book as an eight- or nine-year old, one of my parents had been reading it and had set it down about fifty pages in. I'd actually mixed it up with the copy of Fellowship of the Ring that I'd just begun, and it was a couple of paragraphs before I realized I was dealing with a different set of characters (I was always bad at names), and a few pages before I figured out they were rabbits, and by then I was hooked.

So I actually did skip the opening, read to the end, then go back and read the beginning. It's a method I can recommend for many novels.

Ahahaha, that works too!
