Rating: Summary: Don't put off reading this book. Review: I put off reading this book for many years because I wasn't sure if I'd like it. I shouldn't have done so. This book is one of the greatest adventure stories I've ever read -- even if the main characters are rabbits. Their characters are so well drawn, with words from their language thrown in just for fun, that you can hardly wait to hear what happens to them next. I heartily recommend this one. You'll fly through it.
Rating: Summary: A fantasy perspective on the problems of real life. Review: A fantacy tale which immerses you in real personalities and comparisons to everyday life. After getting involved in it, you hardly realize that isn't a real story. The plot begins with a group of rabbits who run away from their home in search of an easier life. I know it sounds rediculous, but bear with me here. The challenges they face lead them to the perfect settling place, but they realize they forgot to bring any females. Whoops. They plead with an overcrowded community to allow some does to settle with them, but the strict leader refuses and captures the representatives they sent. A daring rescue ensues which results in a happy ending to all of their troubles. You must read this novel.
Rating: Summary: GREAT BOOK Review: I am 14 and loved this book. The people who gave it bad reviews don't know what they're talking about. This book does have action and adventure and is not about Blackberry coming home with females. Anyone stupid enough to think that just because talking bunnies are in it it is not a good book should be hurt. Also you would have to be pretty stupid to think this book doesn't have action and adventure.
Rating: Summary: The best of the best; a truly moving novel. Review: This is one of those books that you have to keep forever. It's full of adventure, humor, and can be a real tear jerker. If you have just read the first chapter, and didn't enjoy it all that much, keep going! It gets better and better as you read on. If you really enjoyed this book, you should also try reading the Redwall series, by Brian Jacques. They are a lot alike, except for the fact that there are previously 11 of them.
Rating: Summary: Watership Down; Thumbs up Review: if you liked the trilogy of the rings, you'll love this adventure about bunnies (yes bunnies, get use to it) searching for a new home. My brother almost didn't read it because he thought a novel about bunnies was "the stupidest thing" he ever heard, but after the first chapter, was was pro-bunny all the way.
Rating: Summary: Amazing Review: It was amazing. I resisted reading it for a long time due to the "bunny" premise, but I found it wasn't like that at all. I finally finished it last night and got very teary-eyed. It was a beautiful story with a political undertone, and I found it very moveing.
Rating: Summary: JUST READ THE DAMNED BOOK Review: it was a fun book, nothing i would really ever admit reading to my budies, but nevertheless fun. there are deeper meanings and i didnt have to look to hard to find them. over all the style of writing was excellent, and the characters were believable even for talking rabbits. rent the animated movie, it is almost trippy.
Rating: Summary: A must for any bookshelf, Review: You may scoff at a novel about rabbits. And since it's usually found in the sci-fi/fantasy section of most bookstores, that may further disuade you from reading this book. Don't be fooled! This is a classic tale of adventure, heros, and villans. Richard Adams has written a story which will have you so absorbed, you'll find it hard to put down. If you're afraid of a "Peter Cottontail" story, quit worrying. I'm just wondering if Rowsby Woof will ever get to finally meet the Queen...
Rating: Summary: It ain't Disney... Review: Despite what the cover, and certain sixth graders, might tell you, this isn't simply a story about talking rabbits. I literally just finished reading my incredibly worn copy again for the upteenth time, and I honestly can't think on another book that can touch it.
Rating: Summary: Rating: hrair Review: The best novel I have read. Still fresh and inspiring after half a dozen readings. Some of my favorite scenes: () The creation myth: "All the world will be your enemy, prince with a thousand enemies..." () Bigwig fights Woundwort: "You're not the chief rabbit?" () Hazel joins El-Ahrairah's Owsla - I echo a previous reviewer in lauding this scene as one of the most touching treatments in a novel on the subject of death.
