Watership Down is the compelling tale of a group of wild rabbits struggling to hold onto their place in the world—soon to be a BBC and Netflix animated miniseries starring James McAvoy, Nicholas Hoult, and Oscar and Grammy award-winning Sir Ben Kingsley.

A phenomenal worldwide bestseller for more than forty years, Richard Adams's Watership Down is a timeless classic and one of the most beloved novels of all time. Set in England's Downs, a once idyllic rural landscape, this stirring tale of adventure, courage and survival follows a band of very special creatures on their flight from the intrusion of man and the certain destruction of their home. Led by a stouthearted pair of brothers, they journey forth from their native Sandleford Warren through the harrowing trials posed by predators and adversaries, to a mysterious promised land and a more perfect society.

Review of 'Watership Down' on 'Storygraph'

This was a fun and nice book to read.
It is cool to see a lot of human things described from 'rabbit perspective' with only some of them knowing what to do with something.
I loved the parts where one of the rabbits came up with something smart, without a way to make the other rabbits understand how it worked. Like the boat.

Review of 'Watership Down' on 'Goodreads'

So, I'm not saying it wasn't a fine book and all, but why is it such a huge classic? I don't really get it.

Although, I guess one of my difficulties with it was all the nature descriptions that meant nearly nothing to me because I don't know the trees and vegetation described. I frankly had a hard time imagining much of the goings on, but I assume that's on me, rather than the rich language of the book.
