Rating: Summary: Perfect Review: This is probably the best book I have ever read in my life!! It has adventure suspense and excitement. Although I am only in fifth grade and I will read many,many more books this I predict this will be the best one. I have only read one of Richard Adams books but I know that he must be a creative genius.And can I just say to the person who said they got to page 3 and couldn't continue,you have to read just a tad farther with any book to get to a good part!
Rating: Summary: A great "escape" book to read that's not all fluff Review: This book is great fiction -- it takes you out of your world and transports you to the fictional one the author has created so well that you remember the characters for years afterwards ... and they're RABBITS!My dad read this book to me aloud when I was a kid (8-9 years old) and I liked it because I loved rabbits. Re-reading it as an adult, I picked up on the philosophical commentary on life that the author weaves (skillfully) into the story and enjoyed it even more.
Rating: Summary: It was great book with an interesting and original plot Review: I thought this book was very good. The best aspect of the work would have to be how original the storyline was. It's the first book I have ever read that has ever dealt with the life of rabbits. There have been books like the Redwall series from Brian Jacques but it made the animals too human like. Also, the book was a good mix of the "Defend the castle plot" like in Redwall, and the "long journey plot" as in Lord of the Rings. In the beginning it started out as a "long journey plot" since they were journying from one warren and I just figured the whole book would be like that. Then once that started to get old they find Watership Down and all of a sudden it's a "defend the castle" since they build it up and defend it for the rest of the book. It was one of the best books I have ever read and the plot was definitly the most creative. If anyone disagrees I would like you to mail me at this adress.
Rating: Summary: I love it Review: I read this book this last year (I'm 11) and when I was on page 200 or somewere like that I went out and boaght a hardback copy, and still had to read it all. This book is sooooooooooooo good. Lets just say it's gonna last longer than me!
Rating: Summary: WOW!! Review: WOW, this book was great. It is defenintly the best book I ever read. Everything about it was excellent. I went into it thinking it was just the "bunny book", but it was a whole lot more. Anyone who would think it's just a bunny book would have to be nuts, and I'd like to tell anyone out there that it was great. Definitly one that I'll read again. WOW!!
Rating: Summary: Outstanding, unique adventure. Review: I'm a voracious reader, yet Watership Down remains a favorite. I read it again last month and continue to think about the qualities and courage of the furry characters.
Rating: Summary: Read it, believe it, and love it! Review: There's not much to say about this book, except that it is probably the best in the world, my all time favorite! One of the so-exciting-oh-don't-cry-because-it-makes-the- pages-blurry-and-you-have-to-find- out-what-happens next kind of book! I love it, and recommend to people of all ages. As Keehar would say "Des damn fin book, you vead hem, ya, ya!"
Rating: Summary: Frith on the hills, Watership Down simply.. ROCKS! Review: Cute little bunnies that do nothing but run and hide? Just a story full of fuzz and no flavor? HA! Bigwig should have a word or two with you if thats how you feel! This book was something of a dazzlement to me! I read the entire thing in ONE DAY! (and am now wishing I had savored it dearly!) Long ago I saw the movie and loved it. At that time I as not so captivated by books as i am now at 15. Just two days ago I saw WaterShip down in the books store and remembered my childhood favorite movie, so I picked it off the bookshelf, bought it, and now carry it wherever I go! its is in a word, INCREDIBLE. the characters are moving, well developed, and never lack intrest at all! For me, page after page was like some sort of sci-fi warp drive, sucking me clear into it's depths and never letting go! Now what am I doing? Re-reading the book, drawing all the characters, and using frequent "rabbit talk" to everyone I meet unconsiously! The book deserves so much praise and I don't know all the words I can use to give it! Temptation, love for the unknown, adventure, skills, fighting,... just so absolutly incredible!It had everything i wanted! including the one hero I always looks for in a book that is daring, brave, and ready for anything! That would be Bigwig, my personal favorite!I am telling you now.. READ THIS BOOK! because if you don't you are missing out on a masterpeice that we may never see the likes of again.
Rating: Summary: Beyond Excellance..Richard Adams is truly Genius Review: this book is one of the first i ever read after reading it i understood life in ways i had never percieved it before.At one point in the book Mr Adams compares the trials of all things suffering and brings into perspective that all living things are in one way alike.All things know that...........To come to the end of a time of anxiety and fear,to feel the cloud that has hung over you lift and disperse,that cloud that dulled the heart and made happiness no more than a memory this is at least one joy that must have been known by almost every living creature...Richard Adams is in divine brilliance this qoute alone helped change my entire outlook on the life i live and for that i am greatful to him.Hazel and Fiver chance destiny by taking on the world...joined by a few friends they set out to conquer unknown territory and become in a sense closer to eachother and themselves than they ever dreamed possible this story is timeless and im sure for anyone who has read it a masterpiece of modern literature.....Bravo to Mr Richard Adams for a brilliantly crafted well told story of Fate ,and the changes one must make to find home again.
Rating: Summary: A Fabulous Book Review: This book is terrific. I recommend it to anybody. The character development, which I feel is the most important thing in any book, was extremely well-done. What makes it so special is that the plot was excellent as well. I wish there was a sequel or something. This is quite possibly my favorite book ever.
