Watership Down

Rating:
Summary: A Timeless Classic
Review: Watership Down is a superb book about the struggle of a group of rabbits to escape the destruction of the only home they ever knew. They face problem after problem, each one unique and even more uniquely solved. The rabbits show characteristics similar to humans that give the reader a feeling of personally knowing the rabbits. I first read this book in fifth grade in compliance to my teacher's request. If have since reread it six times in the course of a year (I think, I've read it so many times since then that I have lost track). I am in the sixth grade and this book is still undoubtedly my favorite. Each time I read it I cry when I'm done. I always hate to end such a wonderful book. This book does not deserve just a 10 . You can't rate this book high enough. In a realistic and believable saga, this book takes you to places beyond Earthly boundaries, to the fascinating but overlooked world of the rabbit

Summary: A marvelous, imaginative story!
Review: This beautifully designed tale of rabbits surprises you and draws you in. Adams gives you a new perspective of this creature and how it views the world around it. (I have never realized the dangers that rabbits may face!) It is intriguing, humorous and exciting - ingredients of a great story. Something is always happening in the story, never giving you boring, slow periods. That is why you can't put the book down, you can't find a place to stop reading! The story also shows the beautiful side of nature - as well as the dark and evil. It has true imagination, descibed and thought out well enough to make this fantasy almost believable. The characters come alive and Adams gives them real personality. They are not merely creatures, they are characters. Real pain, real suffering, and real desperation is shown through words. The traditional "happy ending" is kept, giving you satisfaction at the end. There is only one question in your mind after reading the book: How did he think of it all

Summary: Great childhood book
Review: Watership down was the first book ever given to me and the first I completed. My wonderful Aunt Colleen knew Watership would catch me interest and spark a love for books. I read Watership down at age thirteen and still remember it at age thirty-two

Summary: Straight from El-hrair-rah!!
Review: This is one of those books that has meaning for all readers, no matter what age. I read it for the first time when I was 15, and since then i have read it another 15 times, and each time I got something entirely new out of the book. It is mystifying, horrific, enchantic, and heart-compelling all in one. The maps and "lapine" dictionary in included with the novel are very clever, and hel to enhance the reader's imagination of the journey undertaken by Hazel, Bigwig and the rest of the group. Watership Down, in my opinion, is by far the best novel I have ever read. It is straight from El-hrair-rah

Summary: Big adventure through small animals
Review: Watership Down is a book in the tradtion of all great adventure novels. An equal mix of humor, danger and suspense draws the reader into the rabbits world, eager to follow them on their journey from their doomed warren to Watership Down. Make no mistake; this is no mere child's tale of cute talking bunnies. These rabbits have a culture all their own; complete with folk tales, gods and their own language. Adams is able to give his rabbits a realness that will make you look at the invader in your garden in a whole new light

They even enlist an old salt sea gull to help them. On the way, a reader is led through a warren of rabbit culture, belief systems, and even romance!

Summary: By Frith & Inle, a great book!!
Review: When I told my Mom I was gonna read this book, she warned me that it was depressing. I said, what the heck? So, I read this book & cried my little ole' heart out. Anyway, I would tell anyone who has enough fingers (so they could flip back to the Lapine glossary hassle-free) and can read to get a copy of this book A.S.A.P.(whatever that means)
