Watership Down

I'm now reading Watership Down, by Richard Adams, for the second time. I love that book! It's also quite sad, once you get near the ending.. (But I'm not going to be a spoiler for the people who haven't read it yet. )

So, have you read it? Did you like it? What did you think about it? Please vote, and post your other thoughts, because I was curious. I think it's an interesting book. The descriptions can sometimes get [extremely] boring, but otherwise it's a wonderful book. What do you say?

My mom wants me to read it and i want to. I always forget to get get it when i go to the library though.

It's an interesting book.. The rabbits even have their own language, in a way. Just certain words, though, in rabbit terms. Like "Silflay" means feed above ground, etc.. I find that one of the best parts! I've also got "Tales from Watership Down". The entire book is just stories of things the rabbits did. I haven't started it yet, But I plan to. :furawatchi:

No, I never heard of it. Maybe I will if it's that good.

I don't read for fun much, anyway. I usually read books to get reading points for school.

Well, my mum told me about it because when I was talking to her about the Warriors series she said that Watership Down reminded her of it, expect their Rabbits, not Cats xD.

I got the book out.. I never got around to reading it though.. x__x

I might rent the movie out instead.

I'm not into reading that much, only the Warriors Series (<333333 Tama_chi told me about them :]) and Manga xD.

I read Watership Down a long time ago and I thought it was pretty impressive - except, you are right - some of the text can get very "verbose"

It's worth sitting down to read it tho' and the summer is the right time of year ^_^

I read both of the watership down book. The reguluar one and Tales from Watership down. I thought both of them were pretty good, but the words were huge! LOL. I had to look a lot of them up.

Oh well, good vocabulary, eh?

Yeah, I've rented Watership Down and Tales from Watership Down from our public library. ♥♥

ooh. i JUST got the movie. i plan to watch it soon. Like, tonight soon. A friend said it wasn't as good as the books, though. I guess i'll just have to watch it and see!

I've never seen the movie. Only read the book! Tell me if you think it's good!

er... not very good. It was like... a very morbid cartoon. There was lots of blood and it didn't follow the story line very good. Well, the beginning and end did, but not the rest.

I own the movie on VHS tape. If I'm remembering correctley, I liked it. I really want to read the book now. XD

I haven't read it, but i may because my mom is going to read it lol. I will ask her if it is good.

I haven't read the book, but I've seen the movie many-a-times. >_>

I've just watched the movie. Havent got the book.

I started to get all sad and watery-eyed at the end.

I'm going to go get the book.

Perfect time of the year to read it.

I read that book, and I enjoyed it much! Than my friend read it, and she was like "It sounds like Warriors..."

That how I started Warriors ^.^

Never saw the movie, though...
