Book Reviews of Watership Down
Book Review: "A grand adventure with serious, adult themes"
Summary: 5 Stars
Published in the early 1970s, Watership is one of those great, rare novels that you first discover as a child and then rediscover years later as an adult. Think of Tolkien's The Hobbit or Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. It is the story of exile and myth and the clever touch was to use rabbits-yes, rabbits, the little furry creatures in the fields-as the protagonists and antagonists. When you read this as a child, you enjoy the grand adventure of it all. When you read this later as an adult, you suddenly see grand, serious adult themes that Adams takes very seriously. Consequently, Watership tends to inspire real devotion among its readers.
