Amazon Editorial Review:
"One of the most beloved novels of our time, Richard Adams's Watership Down takes us to a world we have never truly seen: to the remarkable life that teems in the fields, forests and riverbanks far beyond our cities and towns. It is a powerful saga of courage, leadership and survival; an epic tale of a hardy band of adventurers forced to flee the destruction of their fragile community...and their trials and triumphs in the face of extraordinary adversity as they pursue a glorious dream called "home."
Watership Down is a remarkable tale of exile and survival, of heroism and leadership...the epic novel of a group of adventurers who desert their doomed city, and venture forth against all odds on a quest for a new home, a sturdier future."
This book had been waiting to be read for quite some time now (years), somehow I was not too attracted to the story of a few rabbits' adventures. Oh I was wrong! This book is fantastic, impossible to put down.
The author has created a great world for the rabbits, based on true facts as to their way of life, but also giving them their own language, myths and beliefs.
Really good adventure story, with some terrifying characters a well as amazing heroes.
