Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I loved this book.
Review: I thought this book was great. Sure it's 400 pages all about rabbits, which would make any teenager sigh. When in reality there are many hidden meanings in the book. Before long you give the characters personalities and it's easy to look at them as real people. From the muscles of Big Wig to the brains of Hazel this book will really hold your attention. It's a great book for kids and adults.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A Boring Book
Review: I'm not exaggerating when I say this may be one of the worst books I ever read. This story started out as a bedtime tale for Richard Adam's children and should have stayed that way. The book is too drawn out. There are more details about the countryside than the heroic rabbits. Some parts are good, like when the rabbits go get does from the neighboring warren, but most of the book was just boring landscape details.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful!
Review: This is truly a wonderful book! While reading it I was totaly enthralled! It is a beautiful survival story of a group of rabbits who left their home to look for a better place to live. Through danger and calm they finally find a place to live. I reccomend this book to anyone and everyone who likes adventure and loves to read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: IF you have a heart, this book will touch it....
Review: I feel sorry for the people who only rated this beautiful and timeless book with only one star. How shallow must their world be? To appreciate the beauty and the message of this classic, first of all, you need to have a heart full of emotions. You need to be able to look at the way other beings live....and then allow your imagination to be entertained. I LOVE this book.....and I just read this (for the 1st time) at the age of 32. Age is meaningless in being able to enjoy a treasure like this.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great tale for anyone who loves to read and loves animals!
Review: I read this book in high school, after a recommendation from my english teacher. I loved this book! I loved the personification of the rabbits. This book is very unique and should be read by anyone willing to take the time to read the 400+ pages. It is well worth the time spent!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing
Review: At first the book was slow and dull, but then when I got into it I couldn't stop. The suspense! Some idiot said there wasn't any and they probably did not know how to read. Amazing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Greatest Book Ever Written
Review: To rate this book at only five stars is a crime. To rate it at ten stars is a radical understatement. To rate at at twenty... now you're getting somewhere.

How anyone can even DARE to put down only one star here is beyond me...

This is definitely the greatest book that I have ever read. I've had to repurchase it three times - my copies kept getting worn out from my rereading it so much. I still have my first copy - it's rubber-banded together and treated with as much reverence as I would give a Ming vase.

If you haven't read this story, then you have not truly begun to read.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Another Over rated Book with no Passion
Review: Where's the substance that keeps you awake while reading a book? Not in this short little fiction, that's for sure. There was no apparent passion in writing this, or why the bunnies were the way they were. The characters-the bunnies- were so mono personality wise, they were all equal. They all thought the same way. They all acted the same way. Where's the originality? Above all...where's the book?

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Simple book for simple minds
Review: Watership Down is a plain and simple texted book. I didn't find any challenges in this fiction, which makes me question the motives of educators and why this book in particular is pushed so roughly towards readers at schools. There wasn't much conflict-i.e. action- except for the fact that the bunnies were the problems themselves...Animal Farm by George Orwell was much more of a challenge and a couldn't-put-it-down book. Oh well, fiction has always been going downward in the sense of working the minds, this one is an example of a simple work for the simple minds out there.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great book!
Review: I have read hundredes of books, but "Watership Down" is still among my favorites. The stoy is fine to read to little kids because the characters are interesting and and fun to hear about. Adults like this too. The different levels of meaning are many, making this a good story to read several times.The plot is skillfully done and very entertaining. It would be pointless to restate everything that has been said so many times already, but they are all true. This is a great book.
