I made a terrible mistake thinking I wanted to read this book about foster children all living together in an apartment complex they call the rabbit hutch. I've been in foster care, and I love reading about foster kids who make it in this world. I've even written articles about foster care. But in no way could I relate to this book.

I could not relate to it in one single way. I wanted to stab myself in the eye so as to not read it anymore or feel. Of course, I do want to read again every day. So instead of stabbing myself in the eye. I did the adult thing and slammed the book shut and took it back to its rightful owner (the library). Where someone with insensitive brain or desensitized to animal abuse, child abuse, and violence to read.

Kudos to the Authors brother, who drew the illustrations in the book. He did a good job.

Benefitsingers Your comment cracked me up, probably better than the book which I won't read, thanks for your summary


message 2: by Gina (new) - added it

Gina Cannon My feelings exactly! I finally had to quit reading altogether as I dreaded every minute. Basically found not one sympathetic character and didn’t care what happened in the end. Just…no.

Rosa I totally agree, I had to stop reading and embrace reality with relief
