I received the 1975 book Watership Down as a freebie with one of my orders.  That book sat on my parents' bookshelf since the year it came out and I never read it.  I am finally reading it now, and it is wonderful. 

Lately, it seems that I am always reading the latest hyped-up book, but, for some reason, they never live up to their reputations.  Watership Down may not be fashionable reading, but it is beautifully written, heartwarming, suspenseful, and just plain fun.  I recommend it!

Nicole,

If you like the style of Watership Down, Look into the Redwall series by Brian Jacques!

Nicole -

That was always one of my favorite books! I'm always glad to hear when someone else enjoys it as much as I did.

I adore Watership Down. It is one of my most favorites. It's one I can read over and over.

OK, now you've got me wanting to reread it, too!  Hooray for Watership Down!

Love that book. In the 1970's they made an animated film from the book. I have a few of the cels from it.
