Watership Down: A Novel

by Richard Adams

Watership Down has been a staple of high-school English classes for years. Despite the fact that it's often a hard sell at first (what teenager wouldn't cringe at the thought of 400-plus pages of talking rabbits?), Richard Adams's bunny-centric epic rarely fails to win the love and respect of anyone who reads it, regardless of age. Like most great novels, Watership Down is a rich story ... (read more)

    I really liked the book, when I first read it. Its was a little disturbing all the same.
    And when I saw the movie it was the same feeling, only to see some of the things acted out made it a little more "creepy" in a way. When I was a kid and read the book, all I thought was it was a book about rabbits and when I got older and read it again I saw what things really meant and a lot of the theme's. Its a book I really love.

    I read this book in eighth grade for a book report, and will never forget the experience. Not only could I not put it down, it was the first novel I ever read to completely move me to tears... I loved and will ALWAYS love this book.

    I cannot get into this book. I am on the 12th chapter and still find it dull and am unmotivated to read on.
    Does the story ever get more intense or interesting???

    This is just not a book about rabbits but a review of life. I wonder if any body has read Traveler by Richard Adams. It is a tale of the civil war through the eyes of Robert E. Lees horse. It is accurate in the telling of the civil war and the blood shed that the horse would have seen. The connection between Lee and his horse is very endearing.

    This book is a very good read. Once you read it, you will wish there was more to read. It really is an awesome book. My husband asked me to read it (he has read it so many times) and then I finally agreed. I was sorry I waited so long. I then saw the animated movie. It was good also.
    Once you get into it, you won't be sorry.
    Take care, TJ

    Have you been bombarded by complete strangers who wanted to know, after you have
    written a review, and/or made comments expressing your opinion of a book,
    whether they should read this book? And it isn't that they took the time to see
    who you are, then ask in a note, no, they just spammed you and everyone else on
    Shelfari who has said book on shelf. Does this irriate you? If so, you can do
    something about it: you can contact either of the two Shelfari reps below, or
    better yet, you can contact both of them and ask them to please remove the new
    and annoying feature that allows this spamming!
