Review:

I remember reading part of this book when I was a kid & it was promptly taken from me. Girls wheren't supposed to like these sorts of things back then. I was thrilled when I saw this as an audio version & up on NetGalley. I asked to listen to it & was happy I got to do so!

The audiobook version of this book gave me feelings of nostalgia & I finally got to finish the book. While I didn't like every part of this book as usual for any book I read, the narrator Paul Bellantoni was spectacular. They have a voice that makes you feel like you're listening to someone around a bonfire telling you stories about the past. Their voice makes things stick, which is a rarity for me with my memory issues.

Goodreads Description:

Rabbitlike aliens from outer space colonize Earth during humankind’s Second World War in a delightfully funny and thought-provoking science fiction adventure The Quozl just need somewhere to call home. A gentle race of extraterrestrial rabbits, they have a propensity for reproduction that has left their home planet, Quozlene, dangerously overpopulated, and in their search for greener and less-crowded pastures, they have discovered the perfect place to start the third planet away from a healthy, warming sun. What they don’t realize is that this world they call Shiraz is already inhabited by a species of violent sentient creatures known as humans. But there’s no going back now. In the midst of the brutal and helpfully distracting global conflict the Shirazians call World War II, the colony ship lands undetected, and the space rabbits immediately go into hiding. But a secret like the Quozl can be concealed for only so long, especially when their numbers start to increase and certain rebellious members of the long-eared society decide the time is ripe to claim their place in a world they believe is rightfully theirs. One of the most admired and prolific authors in the science fiction arena, Alan Dean Foster will delight readers who hunger for something different with this funny, thoughtful, and wildly inventive novel of first contact and coexistence. Once you meet the Quozl, you will never forget them.
