Watership Down is an exciting tale of a band of rabbits escaping the destruction of their home warren and seeking peace in an unknown landscape. They encounter danger after danger in a journey led by youngster Hazel, alongside boisterous and experienced Bigwig.
Richard Adams has a talent beyond such that I have ever seen; he enchants the minds of young readers and never let me put it down once. I finished Watership Down in record time!
I have heard (regrettably) that Watership Down is his only good book, but as it is the only one of his that I have read, I must say that he is an inspiring author. I have yet to discover works of his that do not have the quality of Watership Down.
Five Stars!
