I know I read this as a kid, maybe in 6th grade, but remembered nothing about it so decided to give it a fresh read. So many peopke remarked on the book being sad when I mentioned I was reading it but it's really just a tale of high-stakes thrilling adventure, the Watership rabbits are a heroic lot of clever little blighters who get nearly everything they want and learn to trust each other and rely on one another's strengths to build a strong and wholesome family. 
It can be stressful though, and the writing isn't always the easiest to read - but a great story.
adventurous emotional sad tense slow-paced

Very good read! Brought back fond memories of reading this as a child.

"Man Dies Seeking a Rabbit World"

3 motivi per leggerlo:
il world building sorprendetemente dettagliato e accurato;
la altrettanto inaspettata profondità, sia per i temi trattati che per la cruda rappresentazione della realtà;
i personaggi, una perfetta via di mezzo tra tratti animaleschi e altri quasi umani.

What a refreshing, bracing story. Nothing forced or wedged in to the narrative; the author never seems to be grasping for what to say next or trying to score didactic points. Every rabbit, every conversation, every fight feels solid and real. Just a breath of fresh air. I was more absorbed in this story than I have been in any other for quite some time.

It’s fine but I probably wouldn’t reread nor cared enough to get through this if i wasn’t listening to the audiobook. It would’ve been so cool to see more fleshed out characters!
