Summary: The most amazing book I have ever read! (REALLY! )
Review: I loved it! I couldn't stop reading it! It was so creative and unique! It is and will stay my most favorite book! Hats off to Richard Adams, a sheer genius! I can't wait to read the sequel!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Watership Down Review
Review: Watership Down is a great book. It has a great plot and everything ties together. I personally think that the use of language is interesting and the names of the characters go along with their personality and style. I enjoyed the stories within this story which made it feel as if I were there. It has a great ending (which I won't spoil!) and is great for any age.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Apparently, The Concept of this Book is above your heads
Review: By the looks of it, those who hate this novel pass it off as a children's book, or as rediculus, simply on the basis that it happens to star talking rabbits. I will try to withhold from being negative but...

Anyway, the point is that the book is trying to convey an environmentalist message, you know, like how humans destroy nature and what its doing to the animals. You simply could not have done that had humans been the main characters. No, it HAD to be from the point of view of the animals. Saying that Watrersjip should star humans is like saying Tolkien shouldn't have made Middle Earth or that Feist shouldn't have made Medkemia... Why the hell would that make the story better? It would actually be worse because its farv more fantastic that way. We know Elves and Dwarves don't live on Earth, so putting LotR on Earth would be stupid. But how do we know if Middle Earth exists? We don't. Far more plausible.

NO WHERE do the Rabbits talk to HUMANs, they're always talking to each other and occasionally other animals. This is plausible because we all know animals have some form of communication (Otherwise how would they keep PRides or Warrens together?). If they had ever talked to a person (not counting Fiver's dream later on) you critics would have a point.

For me, I personally thought this book was great. Nice but rather simplistic story, and excellent characters. This book is MUCH better than the overrated Lord of the Rings trilogy.

TW, About Rabbit Language... did you expect them to speak Plain English (all the time)?

Summary: TOTALLY AWSOME!
Review: I read this book because my sister did and loved it. This is pretty amazing, because my sister never likes anything. When i first started, I thought, okay, talking bunnies, sounds like redwall. But as I got into it more, I found it to be much different, and a whole lot better! The characters are far more developed, and their personalities are far more unique (it seems every readwall characters name is martin or logalog) Most people i find who hate it were required to read it for school ( i said most not all) and perhaps they just didn't want to read it so they went in with a bad attitude. This book can teach you alot if you want to know it. I have learned alot from reading it only once, and i found it intriguing and fanscinating. Anyone who read it and hated it should read it again. You can learn alot from little talking bunnies if you just try!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Watership Down
Review: This was the absolute greatest book I have ever read! I stayed up all night reading it. It just keeps you on the edge of your seet from beggining to end! Really I think anyone who can read should definately try to read this book. It is just simply the best!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Simply the Best!
Review: This is by far the best book I've ever read! It was simply incredible from beginning to end and I would encourage everyone to read this book. From the very beginning I was completely captured in the story, and in the end I searched the pages in the back, wishing there were more! It is a great tale of maturity, as well as the struggle to live a life of freedom and happiness. I have never read anything that compares to this book...it's simply the best!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BEST Book in EXISTANCE
Review: Oh, man, at first, I didn't think I'd like the book, but I read it anyway. By the time Captain Holly yells "Zorn! Zorn!" on the hill, I was riveted. But even though you can guess, I'd at least at the end say who Hazel's visitor is. And, as a final statement: That Bigwig's got some willpower!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Watership down
Review: This book is a great fantasy. Rabbits can really talk, and have their own community. It is sorta hard to understand, but its an interesting book!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: I loved it!
Review: Watership Down was one of the best books I've read in a very long time. The movie was one of my favorites as a kid and now the book is one of my favorites as a teenager. It was hard for me to put down and I would recommend it to anyone.
