ericbuscemi 's review for:
Watership Down
by Richard Adams
This is one of the greatest stories I've ever read (listened to, to be specific). And I almost never gave it a chance, because how interesting could a novel about rabbits possibly be? I implore you not to let that deter you, as this is no Peter Cottontail story, it is The Lord of the Rings with leporidae.
I cared more about the rabbits in this story than almost every human character from everything else I've ever read, a hell of a trick for the author to pull off, and Bigwig has hopped his way to the top of my all-time-favorite-characters list. Even the rabbits myths and legends were so rich and detailed that I found myself entirely engaged in them -- so much so that when one was interrupted, I found myself highly annoyed not to have heard the bitter end of it.
I cannot laud this book highly enough. It is a flawless fantasy novel and, as far as Goodreads ratings go, a six-star book.
