Rating: Summary: I was Very Dissapointed Review: I expected so much more, I mean, after the great sequel I just HAD to read this. Thing is, I wish I never did start. Okay, so bunnies under attack, but other than the visible notions, it seemed as though nothing happened at all emotionally. The author has lost the respect I had given him for such a great sequel, but this has just backed down my praises of him.
Rating: Summary: Kept repeating itself, why bother? Review: Watership Down was a dull and ever boring book that was sleep prone. I can't believe I made it through without riping the book apart. I was so angered at how the bunnues were after all just bunnies.For your sanity and time, I beg thee not to atempt this ever bothersome and trite fictional writing. There was no way to relate to the characters, and the conflicts kept repeating themselves and became quite bothersome to read past.
Rating: Summary: Best military stategy, if only the first part was good. Review: The first part of the book was boring I put the book down every five minutes.But at about 350 I couldn't put it down. I think it was the best military strategy.
Rating: Summary: The primroses were over. Review: Someone in one of the reviews said that she has read this book every month since she first bought it. I mean, wouldn't we all like to? Okay, okay, I love rabbits anyway having kept the real things for most of my life, but I do believe that you are missing something big if you don't read it. And you haven't just got to read it either, you've got to believe that it could be real. Who doesn't believe after reading this book that somewhere out there could be a warren full of rabbits with Fiver, Bigwig, Pipkin, Hazel, Dandelion, Blackberry and the others in it? That they are journeying accross farmland to find a new home? And doesn't it say something that out of 185 reviews that there are only a few individuals who only gave it a couple of stars? And wouldn't everyone want to write like Richard Adams if they could? I know I would. Ah well, writing this has reminded me that I must read it again soon. Once I pick it up I just can't put it down...
Rating: Summary: Okay Review: I wouldn't go as far as saying this is the best book ever because there are far more superior fictions than that written of bunnies. Not much plotting, an easy to read and easy to grasp book. Also, the metaphores were rather too simple don't you think?
Rating: Summary: Very Monotanous Review: This book is extremely monotanous, it has way to many details, and seems never-ending. So never ending that I didn't even finish the book.
Rating: Summary: Buy it! Read it! Love it! Review: It truly is a classic. I did find the religous stories of the rabbits to be boring, but other than that it is a solid five star read. Don't miss it!
Rating: Summary: Simply a child's tale Review: When I was a little girl my mother read this story to me. I thought it was pointless then and I think it's pointless now. What is the point of all the boring little stories in there? It did however, interest me towards the end. I don't recommend this book to the distracted!
Rating: Summary: Once you start reading, you can't possibly stop Review: Incredably moving, sensitive, and in some parts downright incredable. I am a young reader, and I beleive that this is one of the best books ever written. I think the age group though, to fully understand it, is about 15 years of age and up.
Rating: Summary: If you love rabbits... Review: You'll definately love this book. I raised two orhpaned wild rabbit when I was sixteen (Bunny and Alex. After reading Watership Down in college, I was extremely disappointed that no one had turned me on to the book before. If you loved this book, read Tales from Watership Down too. Bluebell's story had me laughing outloud. The only drawback to Richard Adams books, is that while he provides a dictionary for the rabbit terms, he doesn't provide one for the ENGLISH words. for insance, a lorry is a truck. I thought it was a car untnil I asked my relatives in England.
