Our class loved it. I have yet to reread it as an adult, but I am looking forward to it because of my fond memories of Mr. Soposnik. :)Julie @ Read Handedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14276118610042594397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636261725049671888.post-62483628441604813932012-06-19T23:31:36.566-07:002012-06-19T23:31:36.566-07:00I've heard of so many readers who dismissed Wa...I've heard of so many readers who dismissed <i>Watership Down</i> because it's about rabbits, but I think it's entirely irrelevant. If looked at as a fantasy book, the nature of the creature is not important. If looked at as a parable, it's doubly irrelevant. <br /><br />The truth is that <i>Watership Down</i> is simply a good book, regardless the species of its main characters. Adams did a great job creating real rabbit characters, and the story is exciting and entertaining. There's backstory, excellent world-building, and some truly lovely writing. It's the type of animal fantasy I think <i>should</i> appeal to most readers. Always nice to hear someone else enjoyed it!Meytal Radzinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15805413335735169073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636261725049671888.post-46256792251621997122012-06-19T13:29:44.922-07:002012-06-19T13:29:44.922-07:00I skipped this book for the same reason you did - ...I skipped this book for the same reason you did - because it's about rabbits.
