Watership Down

[(Anonymous)]

Should I read it? I read and loved the Dorset Squirrels/Woodstock saga.

Re: Watership Down

[(Anonymous)]

This is one of those questions where the answer is always going to be yes. Everyone should read this book.

Re: Watership Down

I loved Watership Down. I've never read the other books you mentioned, but Watership Down was a great study on governments and leadership styles!

Re: Watership Down

[(Anonymous)]

It's not a bad book, but "heavy-handedly moralistic" would be the nice way to describe it. Imagine a children's book only written at an adult reader level. The writing is more complex but the ideas aren't really.

Re: Watership Down

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, its quite good. However, I tried reading The Plague Dogs afterwards and couldn't get into it.

Re: Watership Down

[(Anonymous)]

It was my absolute favorite book when I was maybe 11/12 and re-read it several times in the span of a couple years. I haven't read it since, though. A lot of people say it's really dark but I don't remember it being too bad in that respect. I was scared of everything as a kid, but loved tgat book.

Re: Watership Down

[dethtoll]

Knew a guy who used to make his sister and her friends cry by singing "Bright Eyes" from the animated adaptation of that book.

Anyway yes read it ASAP.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, without question. To address a previous comment, I wouldn't call it so heavy handed that you can't enjoy it as a story. It's something I skimmed over or missed when I was younger that I appreciate more as an adult.

Re: Watership Down

[caerbannog]

Only if you like being sad.

Re: Watership Down

[(Anonymous)]

I loved it. Yeah there were dark bits but also very atmospheric re English countryside, and a good adventure story.

Watership Down is a great novel. But like Tolkien, Adams will get caught up in descriptive detail and tangents about linguistics. Rabbit linguistics! I don't mind it, but for me both are definitely something I really have to be in the mood to read. But I will say, my favorite thing about Watership Down isn't really the journey (although it is excellent), it is the examination of rabbit culture that is so engrossing.

Re: Watership Down

[(Anonymous)]

it's worth the experience, but I didn't really love it. the characters felt a bit wooden to me, although I was very moved by the development at the end.

don't hype yourself up too much, then you'll appreciate it for what it does.

Re: Watership Down

[tabaqui]

Yes. I have loved Watership Down for decades, and re-read it every year. Go for it!
