Loved this from Jasper Fforde. Thinly (very thinly) veiled satire, mostly aimed at modern British politics, although there are some satirical swipes at American politicians as well.

Before the book opens, there was an unexplained Anthropomorphizing Event, where a number of ordinary animals take on human size and characteristics.

The book is wonderful as satire and as a straightforward tale. I do have to note that it's very similar to Fforde's Shades of Grey, which also starts with an off-stage unexplained event, and virtually the same main character - an ambivalent guy who gets drawn into a conflict that he didn't choose.
