Reviews

"Quite marvelous...A powerful new vision of the great chain of being."--The New York Times Book Review, "Spellbinding...Marvelous...A Taut Tale of Suspense, Hot Pursuit and Derring-Do." -- Chicago Tribune, "Quite marvelous...A powerful new vision of the great chain of being." -- The New York Times Book Review, What a relief to read of characters who have honor and courage and dignity, who will risk their lives for others, whose love for their families and friends and community is enduring and effective, To capture the feeling of the verdant English landscape in Richard Adams's "Watership Down" (Atheneum, 496 pages, $29.99), first published in 1972, Aldo Galli painted in the real locations described in the story. In his finely wrought illustrations, the rabbits Hazel and Pipkin crouch beside the real Nuthanger Farm and Hazel, Bigwig and Fiver make their way across the real Hampshire downs. Mr. Galli brings a sense of intensified realism to his depictions in this 40th anniversary edition. Foliage is luxuriantly, impossibly green, and the edges of things-the feathers of birds, the fluff of dandelions-look as sharp as if they were cut from glass. As a gift, this edition would suit anyone over the age of 10, including adults.

Watership Down was the first novel I read as a child
Watership Down was the first novel I read as a child. I'm now a 56 year-old teacher, but never forgot the impact this book had on me as a child. The story is a strong depiction of community, overcoming adversities and faith. I don't know why it took me so long to read it again. Wait, yes I do. I've been reading countless other books. I definately reccommend it.

This book has a very interesting and mind opening plot that allows your to better understand not only nature, the political systems and the way different species govern and socially stabilize each other. For me personally it allowed me to better understand how the human kind may have civilized itself and got to the point in which we are today. I would recommend this book for Pre-Ap English class because it has text that can allow students to become better at reading and digging into the context and picking out specific types of illustrative speeches and figurative language you wouldn't normally hear in a day to day novel. Over all, his way of writing has a very detailed general type of writing, but has metaphors incorporated into the texts in some areas of the novel that can be heavily ...

I read this book many many years ago...then about a month ago a baby bunny came into my life. I am learning much about rabbits- smarter than our dogs, able to problem solve, huge range of dietary items and very affectionate. . So I bought the 5-pack of this classic to re-read give to my friends.

Watership Down
During my first year of college this book was required for my humanities literature course. I wasn’t sure how I would like the book, but when I started reading it I was captivated by interest. I couldn’t put the book down I just wanted to keep reading it. Watership Down started off as a book about a group of rabbits that live in a small community. In that small community there was a rabbit named Fiver, he had physic abilities and he told the head rabbit that something bad was going to happen to their community (also called a warren). The chief rabbit didn’t believe Fiver, so Fiver went and told another rabbit named Hazel about what he thought was going to happen to the warren. Hazel believed Fiver and they were both tired of no one in the warren taking Fiver’s warnings seriously. That ... During my first year of college this book was required for my humanities literature course. I wasn’t sure how I would like the book, but when I started reading it I was captivated by interest. I couldn’t put the book down I just wanted to keep reading it. Watership Down started off as a book about a group of rabbits that live in a small community. In that small community there was a rabbit named Fiver, he had physic abilities and he told the head rabbit that something bad was going to happen to their community (also called a warren). The chief rabbit didn’t believe Fiver, so Fiver went and told another rabbit named Hazel about what he thought was going to happen to the warren. Hazel believed Fiver and they were both tired of no one in the warren taking Fiver’s warnings seriously. That day Fiver and Hazel decided that they were going to leave the warren, they told a few other rabbits that if they wanted to go with they should meet that night and they would all leave together. That night the group of rabbits met to leave the warren, while they were trying to leave the warren security came to arrest them. They escaped the security and ran from the warren. The rabbits traveled for a few days trying to find a place that would be good for them to create their own warren. Finally after a long travel they found a spot that they thought would be perfect. They started digging holes and they noticed a rabbit sitting in the field watching them. The rabbit was much larger than any of them, and didn’t seem to be worried about any danger that could possibly be in the field. When the rabbit came over to talk to them he told them that he was sent over from a warren that was close by, and they were wondering if Hazel and the other rabbits would want to join their warren. After the rabbit left, Hazel and the other rabbits all decided that they wanted to go and check out the warren. The next day Hazel and the rabbits decided to go visit the warren and see how life was there. When they got there they were greeted by all of the rabbits, and given a tour of the warren. All of the rabbits that belonged to the warren were very large and healthy. There seemed to be no signs of problems or any dangers. Hazel and the other rabbits decided they were going to move into the warren, they were all comfortable with their new home. Except for Fiver, for some reason Fiver just couldn’t feel save at the new warren and kept begging Hazel to leave at once. None of the other rabbits wanted to leave, they all wanted to stay, and they couldn’t understand why Fiver didn’t like it there. Finally one day when they were out gathering food one of the rabbits, named Big Wig, was caught in a snare. Hazel and the rabbits with him all did their best and got Big Wig out of the snare, but the rabbits from the new warren acted like they didn’t know anything was happening. After that Hazel realized that the rabbits were kept safe by the humans and fed by the humans. Then when they got big enough the humans would catch the rabbits and eat them. Hazel and his rabbits decided to leave the new warren at once and try to find a safer place to make a warren. They once again travel for a few days, then they come upon an area that is perfect for them to create their warren. They settle into the new place, when they start digging their holes they realize one major thing that they hadn’t thought about until this point. When they left their original warren
