Summary: An essential must-read!
Review: This is the only book I read for three years. I enjoyed it so much, I had to read it over and over again. I was only 13 then and have since lost my copy. But, now at age 27, I will buy another copy, and read it once more. Yes, I have PLENTY of other books on my bookshelves, and I have read countless others. But this is the ONLY one I will read again and again, and enjoy more and more

Summary: My all-time favorite book
Review: I first read this book in high school and read it again about ten years later to my niece when she was eight years old. She also loved it. It has everything - adventure, heroes, narrow escapes, a worthy villain in General Woundwort, along with two of my favorite characters in literature - Hazel, the quietest of heroes, and Bigwig, brave to a fault and anything but quiet! I don't think Watership Down will ever be replaced as my favorite book. (A side note: I did not enjoy the animated movie version)

Summary: I recommend this book wholeheartedly
Review: I read this book for the first time when I was in third grade. I have reread it many times since then, and my opinion on it has not changed after all these years (I am now 22). I was completely immersed in the book for the month it took me to read it (it was pretty long for me at that age). I thought about the story constantly, drew pictures of the characters, and even dreamed about them. When I finally finished the book, I started to cry. The ending is moving, yes, but I was crying for another reason as well: I was terribly sad to be at the end of such a wonderful journey. For a time after I finished, I experienced a strange emptiness. I had always been a voracious reader, but suddenly I couldn't find any books that satisfied me. Everything was rendered pale next to the beauty of Watership Down. I began searching for "another Watership Down" to read, a book that would be its equal. I never found it.

As I have gotten older, I've found that my admiration for this novel has not dimmed at all. In some ways, I appreciate it even more as an adult. But nothing can match the wonder I felt as I read it in third grade. Whenever I recommend this book to people, it is with a feeling of envy. I envy them the experience of reading Watership Down for the first time.

Summary: Always in my Top Ten List...
Review: I will never not own a copy of this book. I will never stop having to buy new copies as I give away older copies to friends, with the injunction "You MUST read this!!"

Rating:
Summary: The most wonderful book I've ever read!
Review: The perferct escape! Every chapter was so well written I felt like I was there and that I knew the rabbits, felt what they were feeling and saw what they saw. The suspence builds and the tension runs high as they fight the Efrafa rabbits. This is a beautiful story of loyalty, innocence and charm

Summary: It's with tears in my eyes that I write this review.
Review: I first read this book when I was a teen, reread it in my early twentys, again a few years later, and most reciently, at the age of 42. Each time, a new discovery, and new feeling of triumph. It has been at the top of that "must read" list that exhists in every avid readers mind, the list that every new aquaintance must listen to at least once. The list that starts "Oh, if you like to read you MUST read....." Always number one on my list since that first accidental discovery (It was a last minute grab in the school library as the bell rang..) Watership Down has given me untold hours of pleasure, both in the reading and rereading, as well as the sharing. Not a person alive should allow themselves to forgo the pleasure of "Watership Down"

Summary: A true Classic!
Review: One of the best fictions I have ever read. Readers will never forget this story. It will move you like no other book. A story about life, love, pain, courage, leadership, and success told thru the eyes of a group of rabbits. This novel is a classic!
