		Despite the fact that it's often a hard sell at first (what teenager wouldn't cringe at the thought of 400-plus pages of talking rabbits?), Richard Adams' bunny-centric epic rarely fails to win the love and respect of anyone who reads it, regardless of age.
		As usual with Adams, there is an undertone of the cruelty of man, especially concerning the 'white blindness', (myxamatosis(did I spell that right?)), but this adds to the atmosphere and does not detract at all.
		Richard Adams created a book, which turned out to be a world-wide bestseller.

	Watership Down - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Adams wrote in a USA Watership Down edition that his take on wild rabbit behaviour was much influenced by The Private Life of the Rabbit by British naturalist R.
		Although Adams has always stated that the book was intended to be a children's story, many fans see the book as a political allegory attacking fascism and appeasement as Animal Farm attacked Stalinism.
		Adams has gone so far as to state that the personalities of the two principal hero rabbits, Hazel and Bigwig, are based on fellow officers he knew while a paratrooper during World War II.

		Adams studied Lapine life in R. Lockley's "The Private Life of the Rabbit" in order to keep his rabbits real.
		But beyond the way rabbits live in nature Adams provides them with a history and a culture, represented not only in the stories they tell of El-ahrairah (the Prince with a Thousand Enemies), but their beliefs in Frith the lord sun, and their simple games such as bob-stones.
		The lesson of the story is clearly that bigger does not mean better, for Hazel is neither the strongest nor the smartest of the rabbits that he leads, but he had the best qualities of leadership.

		Like most great novels, Watership Down is a rich story that can be read (and reread) on many different levels.
		As they search for a safe haven, skirting danger at every turn, we become acquainted with the band and its compelling culture and mythos.
		As much about freedom, ethics, and human nature as it is about a bunch of bunnies looking for a warm hidey-hole and some mates, Watership Down will continue to make the transition from classroom desk to bedside table for many generations to come.

	Watership Down - Richard Adams book review summary
		Watership Down by Richard Adams is a great book not only for people who love animals, but also for people who love adventure.
		The story is about a band of rabbits who escape a terrible tragedy at their warren and are on a search to find a new home.
		I think that the story is great for all audiences, because it includes loyalty, faith, love, hatred, friendship, envy, and adventure, and every good novel has something to that extent.

	Amazon.com: Tales from Watership Down: Books: Richard Adams (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		As readers of Watership Down (1974) will recall, Adams reached classic heights of inspired storytelling in that fable of the animal kingdom, performing a finely calibrated juggling act between the real and the imagined.
		I hate to say it but Adams might as well have replaced the Hazel stories with the phrase: The population on the Down grew so some of the rabbits spread to a new warren.
		I was particularly drawn to the paradox that the man-smell, which the rabbits would generally use as a reason to outcast one of their own, is actually what saves the warren.
