Summary: exciting!! I could not put it down!!!!!!!!!
Review: Watership Down is my absolute favorite book in the world. I loved the tales of El-arhiah, and the author did a good job writing it, like telling you where they were, and explaining things from a rabbits point of view. If you have not read it, i strongly reccomend it. I can't wait to read the sequel. Sure, it is pretty long, but once you pick it up, you can't put it down. I am only ten years old, and I read it in 2 or 3 days. Like I said once you pick it up, you can't put it down, until your parents get angry for staying up late reading it. I strongly reccomend it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: An All-Time Favorite
Review: I first read this book when I was in sixth grade. Our reading teacher passed the book out, and I clearly remember rolling my eyes - a book about rabbits? Years later, I have gone through three copies of the book. I carried it with me everywhere until the book was nearly destroyed. This is one of the best books I have ever read - if you are looking for a great read, I couldn't recommend this book more highly.

Summary: A fable of epic scope (and size!)
Review: Taking Aesop's premise of talking animal tales with a moral and displaying it in a book of epic lenght, Richard Adams delivers endearing characters and a far-reaching adventure in Watership Down. This book is strong in characterization, giving each rabbit distinct traits and personalities, all very human. And you will probably empathize with these rabbits in their quest for a safe haven, just as I did.There are some faults, though: the rabbits constantly switch between using Lapine (rabbit language) words and plain English ones, which withholds you from enjoying the new lexicon Adams had came up with. And be forewarned: in some segments, Adams indulges in lenghthy descriptions, breaking the rythm he had stablished to his prose.

Summary: Better than you think
Review: I'm one of the rare few teenagers that actually liked Watership Down. Even though it is about talking bunnies, I still enjoyed it very much, I even found myself nearly crying at the end of the book. The talking bunnies was a good idea, because it make you look at the bunnies as humans, not just another animal. The story is moving, the plot is good, I even want to reread the book. Now all I have to do is see the movie and read another of Adam's classics the Plauge Dogs.

Summary: Im here to say somthing about some other reviews
Review: Well it appears to me that this book is either loved or hated by many.This book has an abviouse following of fans (incliuding myself).This book must not be overlooked! Richard Adams is a good novelist with a lot of discription. To all who think reading about a flower for half a page is rubish becouse of how discriptive it is I suggest that you learn your abc's again becouse you read as slow as a sloth but lets not forget about your super short attention span.For the people confused about the freaking lapine luanguage i suggest you read the FINE PRINT at the bottom of the page to explain to you about the luanguage ,just a suggestion! Im not completly sure how many novels stay on the bestseller list for how long but I dont think they stay on very long. Watership Down went on 14 days after print and stayed on for more than a year. I do believe their are better books out their that I havent gotten to yet (i hope i bump into em!)but ill settle for this one and and the Lord of the Rings.I would say i am trying to get my hands on The Roads Less Traveld by M Peck wich was on the bestseller list for 694 weeks. Sounds good to me! In all for you mindless fools out their please I warn you Glue is for building things not sniffing. This book along with other R A books cannot be missed if their is a better book out their I hope I find it! for over a 2 years I have yet to find one! I have 2 exact copies of this book just in case they go out of print! FORGIVE THE ERRORS IN THIS ARTICLE! HAPPY READING!

Summary: Undoubtably a Classic
Review: I really enjoyed "Watershp Down". What never ceases to fascinate me is the aspect of reality. The actions of the rabbits are so real, you sometimes forget that this book is fiction. I could almost visualize everything that happened. A total thumbs up.

Summary: One of the greatest books I have read!
Review: "Watership Down" was one of the most interesting books I have ever read. I liked it so much, I am in the middle of reading "Tales from Watership Down." Richard Adams did a great job of getting inside of the life of a rabbit and almost made it feel you were in the action with Hazel and the rest of the gang. You could imagin the break out and escape from General Woundwort. I look forward to more of Richard Adams' work.

Summary: Enthralling
Review: My father first read this to me when i was only 4 years old, and that's what made me a book addict. Full of underlying details and connections. The detail is found in few books today, a true classic. Rabbits and the lapine language are an interesting way to express your feelings.

Summary: I loved this book.
Review: This book is one of my all-time favorites. I love how Richard Adams gave the rabbits their own culture, language, and even their own mythology. I think this book actually does comment on humans. It's not just about rabbits, it's about struggling to fulfill your dreams. I couldn't put this down. I read the whole thing in less than 1 day. I think I may have forgotten to do my homework because I was so engrossed by the book.
