Summary: excellent adventure
Review: Libby Springmeyer W131 The novel Watership Down is an excellent tale about a group of rabbits' adventures in finding a new homeland for themselves. It sets examples of courage, strength, trust, and hope. It is intriguing how the rabbits go against all odds as they set forth on their journey to find a safe place for them to live. The most interesting thing about this story is the way the rabbits look at death. They believe in the Black Rabbit of Inle, which is "fear and everlasting darkness." The black rabbit will come and get you when it is your time to go with him, when it is your time to die. It is said that "he will come in the night and call a rabbit by name." When one goes with him, they will have no more pain, be rid of all their weaknesses, they will be free. This black rabbit is thought to be working with the Lord Frith, which is their lord. They work together to bring about what was meant to be. Both the Black Rabbit and their Lord Frith were spoken of continuously in the story, which shows concern for death, and their belief in the heavens. The rabbits in the story have souls just like human's do, which is why I enjoyed this book so much. I believe everyone with an imagination should read this book.

Summary: Watership Down, By Richard Adams
Review: When I first got this book I almost didn't read it. But once I started I couldn't put it down. Its plot, and charactor advancement is excellent and it is extremly well written. I have read it 5 times and I am reading it again. You always cheer for Hazel and feel sorry for the others when bad things happen. It is a story that will never die.

Summary: You don't understand? ...
Review: To all those who didn't understand it, I read this book when I was in second grade and loved it! It is my second favorite book, after The Godfather, even after six years (I'm in eighth now) of reading hundreds of books. I was not forced to read it, I did on my own and I'm glad I did. The story is so wonderful on so many levels. I've read it at least three times and look forward to reading it many more times in years to come. Try it again.

Summary: A spectacular story!
Review: Few books can match the quality of Watership Down. Adams is one of the most talented authors I have read; his writing flows and has a poetic charm to it. The book follows a group of displaced rabbits on a journey to find a new home, and led by Hazel, an unassuming yet effective leader, the clairvoyant Fiver, and the brawny Bigwig, the group travels through the countryside to a far off and unknown haven called Watership Down. With only bravery, guile, luck, and the mysterious visions of Fiver, the group attempts to overcome the substantial obstacles they face on their journey. This book stands as a parable of human society or simply as a wonderful and joyful tale that can be enjoyed by readers of all ages.

Summary: This book is the best!
Review: "Watership Down" is such a great book. It is simply a classic. I love animals and fiction, so naturally this book appealed to me, but anyone would like it. Richard Adams is a great and talented author, and "Watership Down" is a profound and poignant tale of prophecy, bravery, deception, and truth. Thanks to Frith for giving us this book! :)

Summary: A true classic.
Review: This book is such a delight to read. At one time I didn't want to read the book because it was required for a class in school. Now, so many years later, I re-read it on occasion. This book is for anyone with a love for imagination and great storytelling.
