Has anyone else read this book? My teacher knew of my love for animal stories and she gave me a copy as a reward. I finished it sometime 2 months ago. The book felt a bit awkward just reading but I think it could have been the amount of strangeness. My favorite characters are Pipkin and Fiver.

Read it. Loved it. Watership Down is one of my favourite books ever, and I find the book to be much more uplifting than the darker and more violent movie adaptation. I think it's awesome how all the characters come to life, and you sometimes forget that they are rabbits. So yeah, I love it.

I love it, have you seen the movie? It's very good, there's also a "t.v. series" or hour long shows. But neither of them are as good as the book.

Yes I watched the movie on Youtube recently. Its good.

I just luffs Watership! They've also got a second book which I've read.

I've read Watership Down, yes :3 I have it in paperback as well as the Plague Dogs (also by Richard Adams; Plague Dogs is quite a bit darker if I may say so, as it focuses a lot on the the cruelty & effects of animal research). I wish I had the movie, but instead I just have a few episodes of the crappy TV series on DVD Which cover basically what the book/movie do, but in choppy adaptation for lil kids to view.

It's a classic, definitely. I remember reading it in middle school and being completely unable to put it down during class The way Adams created such an intricate world belonging to, of all animals, rabbits, was... captivating My favorite characters were Bigwig and Campion. I also quite liked one of the female rabbits, too, whose exact name escapes me - the one who helped plan a runaway from Efrafa? Hyzenthlay, was it? Or Thethuthinnang?

Watership Down is my 2nd favorite book (the first being Les Miserables). I read it once every year and it never gets old.

I beleive, if I'm not mistaken, that they were either:

A. The same rabbit (you know Bigwig's real name was like... T-something)
B. Two different rabbits. Only Hyzenthlay is in the movie, they make her look so pretty. And in the OTHER version of the movie, her name is Primrose - shudders -

I loved Watership down it was really well written and had great characterization and strong characters, its one of my favorite books.



I loved Hyzenthlay in the movie she was such a strong female character and one of my favorites. In the second watership down book (which I haven’t read) I believe she becomes co-leader with Hazel which annoys Bigwig. Yes in the watership down TV series (which I have seen all of it) the character was changed to Primrose which is an awful character nothing like Hyzenthlay at all and gets on my nerves

I feel your pain dude - pats -

Watership Down is a good book and movie,also Blackberry is my favorite character.

Reported for Double Topic.
Confirmed.
Topic Merged with the original.

I thought the movie was pretty good actually. After reading the books it was nice to watch it.

I have to feel a little bit of pity for the character,Blackavar,because in the movie,what did his rebellion against General Woundwort do but get him killed,but as beat upon as he felt,I guess he felt it was his time to die.
