roadrats 's review for:

Watership Down by Richard Adams
5.0
adventurous tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes

The Lord of the Rings of animal fiction, for better and for worse. The last part of the book jumped it from a 4/5 to a 5/5 for me, one of the best endings I've ever read. Along the way, there were 3 or 4 odd grammatical errors (missing punctuation, "he" instead of "be", "grasss" instead of "grass"), and I had some trouble visualizing the environment, but the latter is due to unfamiliar language & my already poor ability to visualize environments. All the same, I am so happy I picked this up.
