Has anyone read this book by Richard Adams?

I think i've heard of it, isnt that the story about those rabbits?

yup. i read it, about Hazel and Fiver and all of those rabbits. it was a very action-packed book, and i enjoyed reading it.

My favorite character in the book is Blackberry.

i like Fiver and Hazel, and Bigwig

I also like Captain Holly.

yeah, i read it last year and i have the movie. this is a little off-topic, but related: i was watching wallace and gromit: curse of the were-rabbit (one of my all-time favorite movies!) with my siblings, when, if i remember correctly, gromit turns the radio on, in the car i think. and guess what comes on: the song "bright eyes" (i think that's what it's called) from the watership down movie! my little bro was the one to recognize what it was from, i would've figured it out if i had had more time to think anyways~ so, does anyone know if that song was written for the movie (watership down), or did they borrow it? oh, and i loved the book!

Yes,the song bright eyes was written for the movie,my Uncle from England told me it was.

that was clever of ardman studios to borrow it for their movie, then. you know, with the whole rabbit thing

I've seen a bit of the movie,the seagull says a swearword

Yep,he tells Hazel to **** off.

hmmm... i must've missed that, i only caught the parts where he says to "back off", but it has been a while since i've watched it. i'll have to listen for it, lol!

I've just checked the book,that my late Aunt Elaine gave to me,and it says that Kehaar tells Hazel to **** off.

Yeah,my mum noticed that.
