Summary: My favorite novel of all time.
Review: The first time I read this book I was in the seventh grade. I am now almost thirty years old and it still remains the most enjoyable novel I have ever experienced. This novel has everything a reader could possible want; adventure, suspense, romance, betrayel, and never-ending mythology. Yes, the characters are rabbits, which may not seem credible at the start of the story, but soon you begin to realize that this is not just a tale about bunny rabbits. It is a tale of a group of wanderers who are forced to flee the only home they have ever known. Once out in strange and unfamiliar surroundings they must learn to rely on each others strengths and capabilities in order to survive. While searching for a new home they encounter many dangers along the way, from foxes and dogs, to man and his many unnatural creations, to the most dangerous enemy of all, that of their own kind. You will be forever moved and touched as you follow the many adventures of Hazel, Fiver, Bigwig and their friends. I can't imangine anyone coming away unchanged after reading about the rabbits of Watership Down.

Summary: One of the worst books on the face of earth
Review: Like many others, my teacher made me read this book. And also like many others, I hated it. I wish I didn't waste my money and bought this book, I should have just borrowed it from the library because this book isn't worth the money spent on it.

Summary: bunnies talk, walk, sleep, eat, and die.
Review: bunnies talk, walk, sleep, eat, and die. Wow...uh huh....that sounds fun. COME ON!!!!! IT WAS BORING!!!!! If an author's going to write about wars and society, use humans, not bunnies (!?) next time. And by the ways, who the hell keeps tallies of how many times they've read a book? It's so obvious it's fabricated.

Summary: My favorite novel of all time.
Review: The first time I read this book I was in the seventh grade. I am now almost thirty years old, and it still remains the most enjoyable novel I have ever experienced. This story has everything a reader would want in a bood; adventure, suspense, romance, and betrayel, all the while maintaining a certain amount of mysticism. Yes, the characters are rabbits, which may not seem credible to most readers at the start of the novel, but very soon into the story you begin to realize this is not just a tale about bunny rabbits. It is a tale about a small group of wanderers forced to flee the only home they've ever known. Once out in strange and unfamiliar country, they must rely on each others strengths and capabilities in order to survive and build a happier, sturdier future. Along the way, they encounter all kinds of enemies, from foxes and dogs, to man and all of his unnatural creations, to the mos evil enemy of all, that of their own kind. You will be forever moved and touched as you follow the adventures of Hazel, Bigwig, Fiver and their friends. I can't imagine anyone coming out unchanged after reading the incredible story of the rabbits of Watership Down.

Summary: Possibly the best book I've ever read
Review: This book looked extremely long and boring at first with 481 pages, but I quickly got into this book. It is not a children's book, nor is it a pointless book. It is amazing how Adams shows how rabbits feel the same as us. It is a story of survival, betrayal, and everything you want in a book. It utterly deserved a 5 star rating.

Summary: I have got to buy this!!!
Review: I liked this book alot. It shares a close kinship to the Brian Jacques books, which I love. I love reading fantasy books with excitement, many characters, and animals. When I read books like this, I like to just sit back and enjoy the story without thinking about the point of it.

Summary: This book is NOT a waste of time! READ IT!
Review: I was told to read this book by my friend. I totaly told her "No way! Who would like to read a book about talking bunnies?". She kept on telling me to, though, untill I finally agreed- reluctently. When I did read it, though, I because hooked. It became my favorite book of all times! It takes a while to get in to it- till page 100, which is way to long for some. However, for anyone who has any amount of patience, this book may become a favorite. So just pick up the Watership Down and just try to read it! Who knows? You may like it!

Summary: This book was terrible
Review: This book, by Richard Adams, was piontless. I was forced to read this for my Senior English class and I feel that it was the biggest waste of my time. I would only suggest this book to those who have nothing to do except to read about bunnies. There are many "bunny" terms that make the book hard to understand, and it is pointless. Watership Down is only for those who enjoy bunnies and Frith.

Summary: A Wonderful Story of Courage, Strength and Perserverence
Review: I first picked up this book when I was 12 years old, I read it from cover to cover. I was in awe of an author who could make me feel so deeply for a group of rabbits. Fourteen years later, I have probably read this book 20 times, I have worn out two paperback copies. It is a wonderful story that teaches the reader about human nature and not just rabbit nature. It's entirely possible to see a little of yourself in the powerful BigWig, the quick-witted Hazel, or the clever Blackberry. I still shiver at the thought of the Black Rabbit of Inle. A must read for any book lover!

Summary: Don't read this book UNLESS you HAVE to
Review: For the love of God don't make high school students read this book, we have short attention spans you know. Watership Down is too tedious for a teacher to explain, especially the same things 6+ times a day. Something like MY ANTONIA would be a better American fiction.
