Watership Down by Richard Adams
Watership Down

broncosfan203, July 14, 2008

This novel is shockingly amazing. It is about a group of rabbits that are expelled from their home. It is about courage, fear, death, leadership and survival. The simple prose is easy to read and immediately arresting. It is truly impossible not to feel nearly every emotion as you read about these little rabbits. Fear, camaraderie, anger, joy. Easily a classic.
