Summary: Finally a serious book about how rabbits really are.
Comment: It is obvious that the research that went into the book was truly a labor of love. It is a no-nonsense look at how incongruently rabbits are viewed and treated by humans.
Part 3 is great and will be particularly helpful to house/pet rabbit people that feel so baffled by rabbit behavior and how they bond to each other. I really, really loved reading about the "warren" style of housing and how much Margo was able to learn about their true nature when they were allowed to structure their own hiearchy and be housed without cages.It has some great insights about how and why bunnies bond,the cliques they form, the emotions they express and how adaptable they are. It made me appreciate rabbits even more as very viable companions in our homes.

Summary: A must for rabbit lovers
Comment: A labor of love, this is. Frankly, it's a book I wish I had thought to write! For those of us who enjoy our pet rabbits, David and Demello are kindred spirits who (unlike most "normal," non-rabbit people) don't mind staying up all night to talk bunnies.
Unfortunately, the book starts out a little dry and does run a bit long. But I can't fault them for that. They have such deep affection for the rabbit, it's infectious. They have given me new insight into the rabbit's peculiar place in popular culture, folklore, art and history. The rabbit lives as a symbol of everything from sex to spring, cunning to cowardice -- I'll never look at mine the same way again.
There's also a good attempt at real and fresh reporting on issues rarely touched on by mainstream media: rabbit farming, experimentation, the politics of using rabbits to fight hunger, the tensions between breeders and rescuers.
My favorite section: living with house rabbits. For those of us waiting years for an updated version of the "House Rabbit Handbook," that chapter is a great read, full of real anecdotes, black and white photos, and new information.

Summary: Stories Rabbits Tell
Comment: In short, I would just like to say that it is about time that someone has put to the pages the truth about how these defenseless and innocent lives are being abused and tortured. It blows my mind how cruel and devilish human beings can be for their own self proffit. To all the animal lovers out there, this is an educational experience to understanding your bunnies and learning a little more about how they communicate with us.
