Watership Down

Summary: One of the greatest books of all time
Review: This book was great and, for those who said it was horrible only found fault with the fact that it is about rabbits. The story is about rabbits and it wouldn't have worked with any other animals but rabbit's so get over it.If you get past that you will realize how great a book it is. The book is very detailed and for good reason, it sets the setting up perfect, to the point were you can smells the forset. It also gives the characters depth. I didn't fell like I was just reading about nobody but people I know. I'am a 13-year-old male and if you don't get the plot of this book you most likly work at burger king. A must read

Summary: Exceptional Writing
Review: Don't be discouraged by any reviews you saw degrading this book. It's fantastically discriptive, well-written, and exciting. Don't feel apprehensive due to its size; it isn't in any way tedious or boring. Any degrading reviews are probably written by shallow-minded children.

Summary: A good book with its own ups and downs!
Review: Listen it's a book that has to be read for me and my friends becuase of our teachers. But if it weren't for them we wouldn't read it because it is very long and has microscopic print. Thanks to our teachers for making us read it! It's a book that can be good or bad--depends on the reader! Suspense and loyalty are very common throughout the book and help make it very good but Adams is a very confusing writer as well--in my opinion but the lapine glossary helps extremely!

Summary: This book was long, but GREAT!!!
Review: I loved this book because I love animals. I would give thisbook 5 stars if it was about cats. I liked the characters Hazel,Bigwig, Fiver, and Strawberry. My favorite was probably Hazel because he was brave and had the most confidence in himself. I also liked Fiver because he was funny and scared of everything. This book was awesome. END

Summary: One of the most creative books I have ever read!
Review: In this vivid tale of rabbit life-exile,courage, and real peril-Adams enters into a world we do not know. I loved this book. I could not put it down, and the approx. 450 pages did not slow me. I also read "Tales From Watership Down" and that was also great. I reccomend this book to everyone.

Summary: I disagree
Review: I disagree with the review first that was given, the one that said "what teenager wouldn't cringe at reading a 400+ book about talking rabbits" My friends and I are, unfortunatley, the "popular group" ( don't judge my,you don't know me, I am not a snob, I am a good person)and we all loved the book! My english teacher was so surprised that I finshed the book before anyone else, it wa cool. You should definatley read this book, don't even listen to that review, this is a great book and ,being a teenager myself, trust teens don't cringe at the fact of a long book about talking rabbits.

Summary: A completely forgettable book.
Review: We read this book for an Honors English class this summer, and were not impressed. It was interesting to read Adam's idea of what warren life might be like, but this book is definately not a classic by any stretch of the imagination. Reading 100 pages about how the rabbits "silflay" is not my idea of a good time. And what's with these funky names: Hyzenthlay, Bigwig, Chervil, and Thethuthinang? And do we really need to know about how they pass "hraka"?

Summary: Terrible!!!!!
Review: I had to read this book for my 9th grade english class, and i hated every minute of it. I found it boring and tedious. I would have liked it better if Adams had used people instead of rabbits.

Summary: A hypnotyzing book with amazing characters-I AM IN LOVE!!!!
Review: I fell in love with those rabbits. Hazel, Fiver, Bigwig and the others seem so alive and real. this book is truly a masterpiece and would be a great gift for anyone. I also have the animated movie. Combined with the book Watership Down the tale will never will leave my mind.

Summary: To All Those Who Claim They "Hated It"
Review: A classic, is a classic, is a classic. Just because you were forced to read it in school and weren't smart enough to apply yourself, doesn't change the fact that it is a well deserving CLASSIC. I also notice that most of the people who disliked the book, couldn't even spell while submitting a review. Of course it takes imagination to fully appreciate any novel. It is a direct reflection of society. Perhaps if some of you who complain that it was a bore acted as some of the characters did, our society would not be the pitiful mess it is today-by the way...you harsh critics are all the narrow minded type, who would have perished in the old warren because you were too shallow to recognize good sense when you saw it.
