Watership Down by Richard Adams

Rate and review Watership Down! | What does everyone else think?

Rating 9.0/10

A masterpiece which will speak to readers of all ages.

"A gripping story of rebellion in a rabbit warren and the subsequent adventures of the rebels... Adams has a poetic eye and a gift for storytelling which will speak to readers of all ages for many years to come" Sunday Telegraph

"A masterpiece... The best story about animals since The Wind in the Willows. If not better... it is very funny, exciting, often moving... It is also educative and tough. These animals are shot, gassed, choked in snares. When the bucks fight they rip each other with their claws" Evening Standard

"A great book... A whole world is created, perfectly real in itself, yet constituting a deep incidental comment on human affairs" Guardian

"A literary work of uncommon merit" The New York Times Book Review

"From blood and the thump of fear to the pleasure of good feeding, the discovery of new surroundings or the texture of the day, we are immersed in the rabbits' world... one might, at the same time, be reading some gripping escape story, the rabbit characters are so totally credible" The Times Literary Supplement

"An impressive, immensely readable story, held together by a powerful imagination that soon forbids disbelief" New Statesman

"The beautifully written and intensely moving story is the work of an extraordinary imagination... a classic of animal literature" Sunday Telegraph
