Summary: A real page turner...
Review: I personally loved this book because I like animals, and they are the main characters. I also liked the book because the author really went into detail describing the characters and the setting. I liked Hazel the best,not only because he was one of the main characters,but because he was such an outstanding leader. His compassion,bravery,and self-control was really amazing. The best part of the book was the intense chase scene where Hazel,with his companions and the newly captured rabbits are running for their lives from the evil Woundwart and his terrible rabbits. This part of the book kept me on the edge of my seat,and I could not put it down.I liked the ending because it was bitter-sweet and really tied the book together. This really was a great book!:)

Summary: My review of Watership Down
Review: I liked the book because it was funny in some parts. The made up words were interesting and the charecters were orignal. I didn't like how the made up words were used because you couldn't tell what the author meant to say. I think the best part of the book was were they were in the corn field playing and eating. The worst part was were they were traveling because it was hard to follow. The most vivid story elements were the charecters to me. The setting was also well done but, need some work in places. Overall this book was good reading.

Summary: Even for younger readers
Review: It should be noted that the book was written by Adams for his children. For this reason, each chapter was designed to stand alone as its own story. Younger children will enjoy being read to in installments tracking the adventures of these rabbits.

Summary: A superb story
Review: I recently read this book, and I have to say that it is one of the best works of fiction I have read in quite a while. Most of what I think are the outstanding features of the book seem to have already been mentioned in the reviews already posted. However, I will discuss some of the ones that particularly appealed to me. Richard Adams manages to create a completely self-contained and credible universe for the rabbbits who are the central characters of the story. Clearly he spent a lot of time researching the lives of rabbits, (he mentions his debt to "The Private Life of the Rabbit" by R.M. Lockley in the Acknowledgements section). For me, the point that most clearly shows the care that Adams has taken is the very careful and enjoyable outline of the mythology of the rabbits. They even have their own Creation Myth!! I also liked the occasional telling of the mythical exploits of El-ahrairah the Prince Rabbit at various points in the story. Adams manages to build a totally beleivable rabbit mythology. It has been said that the inclusion of a map in the front of a fantasy book is a bad sign, as it usually means that you are going to be dragged into every part of it at some stage, whether you like it or not. However, in the case of this story it mercifully proved to be not so. Indeed, the maps assisted the story rather than distracting from it. The plot is well thought out. One tiny quibble I have with the plot is that the central characters dont realise that they will need some females to populate their new warren till they have actually reached Watership Down. The getting of females forms the central plot of the second (and most exciting) part of the book. However, this is a minor quibble and it is necessary to sustain the story. The characterisation was good as well. (I particularly liked General Groundwort and Keehar). I'm starting on Shardik in a week or two. I hope it's as enjoyable.

Summary: By Frith, what a Wonderful book!
Review: I've been reading all the reviews, and I can't understand these people who say it's too long, it's boring...........I loved it. I had to pick a book to read for a 10th grade project, and this was recommended to me by a friend. I wasn't sure I would like it-I'm a horse fan-but I loved it. I was into it from the very beginning. The characters-all rabbits- are very interesting and dynamic. I especially loved the made-up rabbit words, confusing to some people, but i thought it was cool. The story is about a group of rabbits who flee their home in search of a new one. On the way, they encounter hardships and problems as they try to establish a new warren. More characters are added as they go on, and each scene is more interesting than the last. I finished iot in a week, I couldn't put it down. A few not-so-good words, when your get around Keehar-the seagull-so watch out if you read it to little kids. All in all, an awesome book, I recommend it to everyone who can read.

Summary: Watership Down
Review: There are not many books that if you said were about bunnies that you would want to read. This is that one you would want to read. Watership Down, by Richard Adam, is an excellent work of fiction that draws the reader into the novel and leaves the reader guessing throughout the novel. I would recommended this book to everyone I know, for it is memorable and unforgettable.
Richard Adam writes through the eyes of wild rabbits, which leave home on the pretense of the main character's brother's, Fiver, ability to sense danger in the near future. The story travels with a band of smaller, weaker, male rabbits that do not know the first thing of creating a colony. Adam Tries to foreshadow most events within the story and uses the characters and events as a microcosm. Throughout the book many themes seem to appear, but the overwhelming theme that is constant in the novel is the overcoming of good over evil and the will that people have to push forward.
As a memorable book there are always memorable ideas and enigmas that seem to dawn on a person, and these occurrences is what makes a memorable novel or story. One of the most memorable parts of the novel is how these rabbits overcome the impossible and defeat their fears and hardships. Another memorable theme of the novel is the loyalty that these rabbits exhibit throughout the novel. The loyalty shone between brothers and those who were once enemies are all displayed through the novel. The microcosm of the novel is one of World War II and the presence of evil lurking. This is evident with a character in the story that is very self-righteous and selfish, which combats the characteristics of the antagonist.
The struggles of man between choosing good and evil and those who are pulling you in to conformity, which are addressed in this novel, will be images imprinted on your mind forever. Through the experiences of the characters in this novel one may see the faults of society that the author tries to bring to light to his reader and his implications of leadership and loyalty expressed by his characters are things that we should learn, and for this I would recommend this book to all.

Summary: Excellent book!
Review: This is a great book! I statred this book at about 8:00Am at the begginning of school and finished by the end of school at 3:00PM (To do this, I completley ignored my schoolwork and concentrated on reading this book). Basically, tis book is about a rabbit named Fiver, and when he has a "premonition", 11 other rabbits join him, believing his fears to be true. Otherwise, excellent book. Nothing objectionable and easy to read.
