Watership Down Watership Down by Richard Adams


My review

  rating: 5 of 5 stars
I’m slowly adding books I feel have contributed to the writing of Gaia Girls. Watership Down has been with me since I was 12. It’s traveled to FL, CA and back to NY. It has lived with me in 13 different apartments, my childhood home and now the home I share with my hubby. I love it that much.

Richard Adams does a remarkable job of telling an epic tale in which rabbits are the characters. What makes his telling remarkable, is that you never once doubt they are real rabbits. They don’t drink tea or wear clothes. They are the same rabbits you see in your yard or garden. His landscapes are vivid and his characters have depth. The emotional highs and lows are placed in a way that keeps you completely engaged. No other book has made me “root for the good guys,” as much as this one! Any writer would do well to study this book and any reader will be enriched for having read it.

    Haha guess what! I went to the school library and found this. it was amazing luck becuase it was at the way top and I grabbed a stool from my friend because we were “fighting” over it. I stood up on it and the teacher called everyone to grab a book so I pulled out the first one I could and it was….Watership Down!!! I flipped out and thought of you. IF thats not enough, my dad saw it and he said it was his favorite book! I’m not very far yet but its already really good!
