Watership Down
Richard Adams, David Parkins
An epic story that has been beloved for generations, Watership Down has become one of the most famous animal stories ever written. Join in the adventure with this 50th anniversary edition, now with a foreword by Madeline Miller, author of The Song of Achilles. Fiver, a young rabbit, is very worried. He senses something terrible is about to happen to the warren. His brother Hazel knows that his sixth sense is never wrong. So, there is nothing else for it. They must leave immediately. And so begins a long and perilous journey of a small band of rabbits in search of a safe home. Fiver's vision finally leads them to Watership Down, but here they face their most difficult challenge of all . . . __________ Richard Adams originally began telling the story of Watership Down to his two daughters and they insisted he publish it as a book. It quickly became a huge success with both children and adults, and won the Guardian Children's Fiction Award and the Carnegie Medal in 1972.

I really loved it. It was amazing and I learnt a lot. My favorite character is fiver because he was brave, smart and he never gave up. It interested me because I love animals and also adventurous books. I would recommend it for animal lovers and people who likes huge and adventurous books. I think it would be suitable for 10 and above.

This book was a bit hard to understand with the confusing names and glossary words. It was sad for Hazel to die at the end

My favourite character was Keehar the seagull because he talks in a very funny way! He is also a hero because he helps the rabbits on important missions. I would recommend this book because it's exciting and I like the way the rabbits have their own language.

It was very sad when the rabbits have to leave home and some of them die. My favourite character was Fiver and I liked his visions. I didn't like the bad rabbit who was in charge.

One of the best books I have ever read. I recommend it to older readers because some parts are a bit depressing and sad.

Watership Down is a book which makes you feel like your immersed in it. It talks a lot about friends and family. It has scenes of violence so I think it is better for older readers.
Corporal River Luther 10.10.2020
My favourite character is Pipkin because he is very brave. I also like Hazel and Fiver because they are both very adventurous. It is a very good book. You should definitely read it

A beautiful story about Hazel and Fiver and their bunny friends as they run off to escape the builders digging up their burrows. Moments of joy and sadness too in this unforgettable story.
Count Octopus Buffalo 01.09.2020
This is a fiction book about rabbits who have to leave their home warren due to danger. The main characters are called Fiver, Hazel and Bigwig. Fiver has premonitions which I thought was interesting. They go on a long journey and meet rabbits from another warren. They come up with some clever plans, like the one involving the farmer's dog. I also thought it was really interesting that they had a theory about how the world was created and where rabbits came from and they used their own special words for things.
