Rating: Summary: This is truely one of my favorite book of all time Review: Watership Down is one of the few books I have ever actually read twice. It was just as good if not better the second time around. A story about a society of rabbits would seem to be a most unlikely plot line for a book. Yet, Ricard Adam's manage to create a stunning masterpiece. I will cherish this book for as long as I am alive.
Rating: Summary: Well Written Review: This book was very well written and easy to follow. I enjoyed reading the book and thought it to be an excellent example of literature.
Rating: Summary: 5 Stars is an understatement! Review: I'm 14 years old, and was assigned to read this for Literature Class, I love it. I reccomend it to ANYONE who can read. You'll never look at rabbits the same way again!
Rating: Summary: masterpiece Review: Adams shows a world not driven by greed, strife, and domination, but of hope, determination, and of life. These rabbits are an allusion of how an idealstic society should be where good triumphs over evil.
Rating: Summary: A tale of bravery Review: I read this book years ago, but it is still one of my favorite books. If you have read this book and like it, (I don't think anyone would not like it!) I would suggest the Redwall seires to you, and also C. S. Lewis's Narnia and the Space Trilology. This book is for all ages, everyone would enjoy it!
Rating: Summary: Good story, but drags on. Review: I had to read this book for seventh grade English class, and I think that is a very good book with interesting plot and character development, but sometimes there are long lulls where nothing really happens (for example when the rabbits are starting the warren on Watership Down). Also, the story dragged on and on. When I thought that it might (finally) end, Adams came up with another plot twist and started off on another great long adventure.To all you who say that it's unrealistic because the rabbits talk, consider this: IT'S FANTASY! If you want a novel with people, go read Tom Clancy, but I think that these rabbits make for very good characters.
Rating: Summary: Everybody should be required to read this! Review: This is my favorite book. The last 100 pages are amazing. If you don't buy it, it's your loss.
Rating: Summary: The book is well written but sometimes lacks in plot. Review: The book is overall well enough written, but it does lack in plot and story sometimes, and it seems that the violence is put only into the story because as a decoy to the fact that there is no other thing to do at that point.
Rating: Summary: Best ever Review: This is the best book ever written.Richard Adams is a master of writing. I have read the book15 times and i am only 13.Go Keehar
Rating: Summary: It was a wonderful world in itself Review: I love this story. I just finshed it yesterday. It was an assignment from my teacher to finish it by the end of March, and I read it in 4 days. The characters seem real, and I'll never look at rabits the same way. In many ways, it reflects our own socity. There are many Bigwig's and not enough Hazel's and Fiver's. Don't get me wrong, I love Bigwig as much as all the others, but I'm just saying that there are quite a few like him. I can just imagin walking on that path and coming up to the burrow and watching the rabbits.....oh, i wish it exsisted.
