I’ve read it, and I won’t lie about how truly dark it is. It’s probably one of the scariest books I've read, and yet it’s also incredibly beautiful and hope-giving.
I believe Adams wrote the story for his grandchildren (please correct me if I’m wrong). So it’s written for children. Maybe kids in those days had more guts than we do today...

- Latest Review: Chameleons by Onyx Gold
That was intended by the author. I read about it in the introduction. Mythology, especially the Aeneid and the Odyssey, was a major source of inspiration for the book. It was also partially inspired by Lord of the Rings, in that both hobbits and rabbits are unlikely heroes. This makes them seem more interesting as underdogs.I'm also so far seeing a bit of parallel to The Odyssey - not exactly in the reason for the journey, but in the building of character, the value of intellect, ingenuity, and story-telling.
I'm glad you're enjoying it, it's one of my favorites.
