I first read this book in fifth grade (really not sure how) and decided to read it again as it's one of the few I've thought about throughout my life since.
I really enjoyed the story as a whole - the world building is grand, the characters are worth rooting for, and the action really builds. I only have two complaints, one more so than the other. The first, and least annoying to me personally, was that the action really picked up in the second half; so much so that it almost felt like two different story paces. The second, and more frustrating for me, was that there were often long passages that droned on with excessive detail about the setting. As someone who has a hard time picturing things in my head as they are exactly described, I prefer vivid imagery that still leaves much to the imagination. Richard Adams tends to over describe with so much detail that it becomes convoluted and I lose the image trying to follow the words. I tended to glaze over those passages, which could often be at least a page long.

I was hesitant to read this book at first, because it's very different from what I usually read, but I ended up really enjoying it. There were some slow parts that were a bit tough to get through, especially the chapters where they told each other stories, but other than those parts it was a really fun heartwarming and adventurous story.
