Re: Book club - November discussion for Watership Down!!!

It is a children's book, it just is not a modern children's book. This was a book for the last generation of kids who knew anything about how the countryside works. Ever since it has been sanitized cutesy tosh, and even kids that grow up in the countryside don't really know how it works. We have GPS controlled robot tractors now FFS, and a farmer spends more time in his home office surfing the internet for porn filling out subsidy applications than he does walking the lanes. If there are any lanes left in his land, that hasn't been ripped up to form poor quality arable or grazing land to get him a few extra bits of subsidy cash.

that's fair. I don't know much about the countryside now, let alone before I was born and on the other side of the pond. However, in the intro to the book (edition that I have anyway) Adams said it wasn't intended to be a children's book, so I went into it thinking it wouldn't be.

It is a book that seems to appeal to people of all different ages, from children to old people, and the author said it was not a childrens' book.
