Summary: I loved it!
Review: Watership Down was one of the best books I've read in a very long time. The movie was one of my favorites as a kid and now the book is one of my favorites as a teenager. It was hard for me to put down and I would recommend it to anyone.

Summary: I can't explain it
Review: Once you get to the end of this book you'll probably go through all the pages at the back, desperately searching for more of it. If you don't read it, you're missing something. And who says the first 100 pages aren't good?

Summary: Watership Down by Richard Adams
Review: A fantastic book which I must beg you to read to your children. Much better than the animation film that followed (mainly because the film seems to contain much more violence than the book!) but is one that I have re-read recently (now aged 20) and still enjoyed.Most definately a teenager's book.

Summary: Thought provoking & exciting
Review: When I asked the teacher that reccomended this book to me why it wasn't given any awards, like Newberry, she told me "Because it's not a children's book." That statement is definitely arguable - it depends on the child that reads it and varies from person to person...but I admit a lot of kids would be over their heads. And if you're not a kid? Then you might find the plot of migrating rabits with their own vocabulary ludicrous. But this is a fascinating look into the world seen by the animals we so often take for granted. 5+ to Adams for a spectacular book - every time I see a rabbit I think of Watership Down. If you're planning to buy this book, DO NOT get the paperback. The binding literally falls apart after one reading, ownning to how long it is.

Summary: A GREAT book!
Review: This is truly one of the best books that I have read. I do have to admit that the beginning of the book was a little boring, but if you can get past the first 100 pages or so, Adams makes up for it 10 times over! There are great plot elements, and when you reach a certain point in the book, you just can't put it down. There are also elements in the book that make you think about deeper things, which is why I like it all the more. Truly, this was a very worthwhile book to read.

Summary: I will never look at rabbits the same!
Review: This book is a work of art! I just loved every single word of it! Richard Adams does a beautiful job of developing the rabbits as characters, giving them qualities that are real and believable. After a while, I found myself feeling as if I knew the rabbits personally. I think that fiction in which animals are given human qualities is challenging to write and sometimes to read. Watership Down is a wonderful balance -- just when you feel the rabbits are becoming to "human-like", Adams reminds us they are rabbits by interweaving their traits as a species into the plot. By the end of the book, I was so engrossed, I couldn't read the words fast enough. I found myself wanting to believe that the rabbit world is really the way Richard Adams portrays it to be. In short, I will never look at a rabbit the same again. I will always wonder where his warren is and if he is running from "a thousand enemies." Children and adults will both enjoy this book -- the difference is the way in which Watership Down sits in the minds of its varied age of readers. It will effect everyone differently. A WORK OF ART!

Summary: One of the great keepers of my youth....
Review: So much has been said about this wonderful book that I scarcely know what to add, other than to say, that along with John Crowley's, Little Big, Richard & Wendy Pini's, Elfquest, and perhaps Los Bros Hernandez', Love & Rockets; Watership Down remains among those books that I keep copies of in the hopes that if I ever raise children in this life, I'll have the time to read it to them. These are all books about life at its' fullest and most wonderful, stories I'd want a child to have imprinted somewhere the back of their memories and at the bottom of their hearts.

Summary: Not as good as Redwall series.
Review: The title says it. The Redwall series is simply better. It doesn't matter to real readers if a book is a classic or not; it just matters if its good. Everyone out there, read Brian Jacques.

Summary: This is one of the best books I've ever read!
Review: I have read this book five times and I still love it. It has moved me in a way I cannot explain. I will never be able to look at rabbits in the same way ever again. The characters in this book are so life like and real that I have a hard time telling myself the rabbit in my backyard isn't Fiver or Hazle. Many people would say that rabbits looking for a new home is childish, but not in this book. These rabbits are smart and strong. If they cannot think their way out of a situation they can fight their way out of it. It does not matter if the enemy is another rabbit, a cat, or even a dog because the rabbits will find a way out. Everyone young and old should read this exciting book. It is wonderful!
