Watership Down A rabbit leads his fellows on an odyssey to find a better life. I feel weird about reviewing this because itās a kidsā book about rabbits but itās also one of the best adventure stories Iāve ever read. The world building is so good that you kind of forget that itās a fantasy and start thinking youāre just reading a faithful account of the lives of rabbits translated into English. The El-ahrairah mythology wasnāt quite as strong as the main story but it helped add depth. The main characters are all plausibly rabbitish, but have utterly distinct personalities of their own. Adamās pulls few punches, and when bad stuff happens to the characters, you really feel it. Itās a book full of captivating stories, interesting societies, savage nature, and heroic struggle. Imagine if Mrs Frisby and the Rats of Nimh had the scale and depth of the Odyssey. Read it to a kid if you can. Itās my 4yoās favorite book. But if you donāt have a kid to read it to, read it anyway.

Have you watched the animated movie of this from years back? Terrifying but also excellent. Iāve never actually read the book. Maybe Iāll pick it up. Got quite the pile to get through currently though. š

I have not, but I love animation and I love the story, so it just earned a spot on my list. Add the book to your pile, no second thoughts
