Watership Down

Summary: a long time ago
Review: I read the book in the 8th grade back in 1975. I remember going straight to the back to see how many pages and about fainted! However, once I got into it it was very compelling. It kept my attention, which was an achievement at my age. If any middle-schooler reads this review, I would suggest that you read at least 3 chapters before you pass judgement on it.

Summary: Classic Novel
Review: This novel was wonderful! Adams' literature takes you right into the book and you truly feel like you are a part of the vagabond rabbits. I'm reading this for a school project and I love it.

Summary: Read this Book!
Review: Wow. That's one word you'll say after reading this awesome book.It starts out pretty boringly, and you'll get tired of it soon. If you then drop the book and read something else, I feel sorry for you. If you just wait, like, 2 chapters, then you'll get to a suspenseful, action packed, juicy book that you'd NEVER expect. This book comes chock-full of rabbit folktales, and new vocabulary, which is not only in english - rabbit language (Lapine)! I know the rabbit on the cover looks dull, but you know, this book is like a sparkling gem buried just under the surface of the sand.

Summary: Fantastically Captivating!
Review: I read this book for the first time just last year and since then I have picked it it up six more times. It is just one of those novels that leave you yearing to read it again. Every time you read it, you understand everything more clearly. I don't believe you could only read it once and do this. Personally it is one of the best book I have ever read.

Summary: open your mind
Review: Adams transports us into the wonderful, intriguing world of an intrepid warren of rabbits. Yes, it does take some time to get used to the Lapin language interspersed throughout the book, but once you do it does help you imagine what it might be like to be a rabbit and to go through all the trials and adventures that Hazel, Fiver, and Bigwig experienced. Open and imaginative minds will enjoy this tale.

Summary: AN INTERESTING READ, BUT NOT GREAT
Review: I have to say that I was disappointed when I finally read this book. It wasn't required reading at my high school so I never had the chance to read it. I finally broke down and got it from the local library because it is considered a "classic". Now I'm not saying it wasn't an interesting book, but it's not something I'd ever read again and it didn't keep me thinking after I had put the book down. A really great book keeps me involved long after I've finished it. Then I have to read it again. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good suspense or action book. It dragged along at times.

Summary: One of a kind
Review: This is truly one of the most incredible books I've ever read. One of those rare books that holds your attention from start to finish, is hard to set down, and leaves you thinking about the story and its characters for days afterward. It surprised me that some of the folks who reviewed it did not see it as such, until I read closer and found that most of these were kids being "forced" to read it for classes. It's too bad they felt this way but is understandable... as Calvin, from Calvin & Hobbes, said, "It's work if someone is making you do it."

Summary: Can you say Pointless?
Review: Stupid, and pointless. I read it last year for school, and I understood it, but really, why is it required high school liturature? Its one of the dumbest books ive ever read.
