Summary: Offers insight and provides entertainment...a great book!
Review: I am currently a junior in high school and was required to read this novel. Although it is somewhat slow-moving at first, it quickly becomes quite involved and interesting. Although most of my classmates disliked this book, I found it has serious implications about human behavior, society and survival. I definitley recommend this book!

Summary: On my top-ten best books ever list
Review: I am a fiction editor, as well as an avid reader of several different genres--and I absolutely loved this novel! Mr. Adams was inspired to write this novel after creating it as a verbal story to his grandchildren. I didn't read it until I was 25-years old--and I liked it so much that I found an antiquarian first edition to add to my library. I would recommend this to everyone! ADVISE FOR THE young REVIEWER WHO GAVE THIS BOOK A 1: GROW UP! Just because you read lots of books, doesn't mean you are emotionally ready or able to understand them. If you hated this book so much--perhaps you are too young to grasp the real message it holds. Try reading this again in about 15 years!

Summary: YOU NEED TO READ THIS REVIEW!! IT IS CRUCIAL!!
Review: Watership Down looks really good from the outside but was really boring and intolerable! I an only in sixth grade but I have read The Jungle, Animal Farm, The Accidental Tourist (I know I didn't spell that right , but I did read it!) and many more books like Moo, How Stella got her groove back and many more, but I could not stand this book! If you are looking for adventure, it is not in this book! If you are looking for cute and happy bunny books, this is not one. My teacher who used to be a principal said he would never in his right mind even think of reading this book. Warning: This book Is 494 pages of "Blackberry came from the meadow with cowslips and two female rabbits to mate with." Oh man, this book should be banned from the planet! It's not an aligory like it looks either!

Summary: This book gets better and better as you read it.
Review: If you like rabbits, or even are just looking for something to read, this is the book for you. One day, I had nothing to read. So i went to my bookshelf and found this book. Once I started reading it, I could not put it down!!!!! I love to read, and this is one of my two or three favorite books. So, add this book to your shopping cart today. And, when you are finished reading this book, there is a sequal, also by Richard Adams. It is equally good. :-) By Katie Brown

Summary: The best of the best
Review: The essence of literature. If you haven't read this, you're missing a lot. Who would have thought a band of runaway rabbits could run into such adventures? Brilliant, flowing, haunting, excitment, this book has it all.
Rating:
Summary: Best Buy Book
Review: I reated this book a Best Buy Book, meaning you'd better buy it or you're missing out. This is a classic novel written by one of the best authors. This book has to be the best book I've read in a long time. You might notice that I reviewed A Separate Peace and gave it a 10. Well, if possible, I would give this a 12.

Summary: Lord of the Rings with rabbits
Review: That pretty much summerizes the entire book, though no simple statements can do this work justice. I mean, who else could take a concept so fundamentally silly as rabbits and actually make it valid literature? Besides that, it's also a damn good story too, enough for all ages, and all ages should read this novel. It emphasizes freedom and the decisions to do what you want to do without anyone else ordering you around. And Adams manages to do that without becoming preachy or condescending.
It must have took a lot of effort for Adams not to make this into a term paper on rabbits, but he pulled it off and the effort shows. This is one of the few books that deserved the word classic when it was printed and still deserves it twenty years later, and will probably still apply twenty years hence. Brilliant.

Summary: Incredebly Good Book
Review: This has got to be one of the best books i have ever read. I happen to be 12 years old, and first read this book when i was 10. i have probably read it 50 times since then. i'm not saying this is a book just for kids or youg adults, it is actually a rather mature book That i am certain most adults will also love.

Summary: A wonderful book, not only for children!
Review: I never thought that a book could be so wonderful and imaginative, like a report about real people. The protagonists are like real charakters, their actions full of human qualities (though they are rabbits). It's a real "Must" for rabbit lovers! Also the second book, "Tales from Watership Down" should find its place in the bookshelf next to "Watership Down"!
