Watership Down (Watership Down, #1)

(Synopsis) - Set in England's Downs, this stirring tale of adventure, courage and survival follows a band of very special creatures on their flight from the intrusion of man and the certain destruction of their home. Led by a stouthearted pair of friends, they journey forth from their native Sandleford Warren through the harrowing trials posed by predators and adversaries, to a mysterious promised land and a more perfect society.
(Review) - Oh this was absolutely brilliant! Honestly don't let the trauma of the animated movie put you off, yes this book is brutal at times but it's honest, it has heart and soul. It's a perfect combination of courage and adventure! To me it felt like "The Fellowship of the rings" it was on the same epic level. Honestly theres many moments where you could change the characters from rabbits to Knights/humans and change burrow to castle and you'd have a fantasy epic! Yes it can be dark and it's difficult to read at parts because it's beautiful rabbits getting hurt, but if it was humans it wouldn't be so much, it just goes to show how innocent we see animals so much so the idea of them hurting eachother feels wrong/disturbing to us and so it should, it means your a good person to see animals like that. But trust me this is not a book that should be skipped, it deserves your full attention from start to finish, it's bloody brilliant.
