Mo Seetubtim brandmentalist — Orwell tarafından yaratılan bu toplum korkunç bir toplum. Korku ve nefret toplumu. Bu kitabı okumanın en korkunç yanı, ülkemi her sayfada tanıyabilmemdi, aynı ülkede yaşadığımı bulmak korkunçtu

Yaki Man yaki_man — in perfect Salinger style, he has these moments of brillance that, really, can be missed if you don't read closely. Some of the descriptions he uses ("Where once, a few years earlier, her eyes alone culd break the news...that two of her sons were dead...now...she was apt to use this same terrible Celtic equipment to break the news...that the delivery boy hadn't brough the leg of lamb...") are indescripable and you can just see and feel what he typed. There are many, many other places I could cite, but I won't. In the end, I highly recommend this book. There is more to it than I've placed here and more to take from it than I could ever write about. I also recommend Catcher in the Rye. Salinger is hard to relate to and yet so very easy. He writes of a youth that very few people experience but there is always something where you can read it and nod your head and say 'ah yes that I understand.'

Nikola Gramatikov _olendro — Amazing, stunning. This is a book I keep going back to over and over again. The way Byatt explored so many different storylines and themes was masterful.

April Kim jeeflyhigh — Favorite Chandler novel. It's so addicting and I love the writing style. It's sort of urban poetry. There's also an element of romance to it.

In Fiver's visions he has seen their home destroyed and everyone of it's inhabitants killed by the tools and machinations of man. Thus, the group, led by Fiver's older brother Hazel, sets out to find a new and safer home far from Sandleford. The initial group consists of: Hazel (the unanimously chosen leader), Fiver (the timid prophet), Pipkin (a small and timid rabbit friend of Fiver, and hero worshipper of Hazel), Blackberry (the "brains" of the group who continuously comes up with plans to further aid the rabbits), Bigwig (the "muscle" and fighter of the group who was a member of the rabbit guard group at their old home), Dandelion (the group's storyteller and the fastest runner), Buckthorn (who although another strong rabbit is referred to as being sensible and staunch), Silver (the nephew of the former warren's leader, as well as a steady and reliable rabbit), along with Speedwell, Hawkbit and Acorn (three rabbits who are decent enough as long as they are not pushed to their limits). Setting out, the group encounters many trials which they are able to overcome through working together. Upon reaching what will become their new home at Watership Down, the group is reunited with Captain Holly and Bluebell, the two survivors of the Sandleford Warren's destruction. By joining up with the original rabbits they bring with them further support and strength in numbers. Realizing that the new warren will not survive unless some female (doe) rabbits are to be had, Hazel and some of the other rabbits venture to the farm down the road where there is a small group of rabbits who are kept in a cage on the farm. Hazel is able to secure the release of Cowslip and Strawberry only to be injured himself. Upon Hazel's return to Watership Down, he learns that the group of scouts he sent out to the Efrafa warren down the road has failed in their attempts to return with a group of does for the warren. It comes to be known that the Efrafan rabbits are led by the tyrant Woundwort and that he refuses to part with any of his group, despite the fact that the female rabbits outnumber the males to the point that many of the does are unable to carry their babies to term. What ensues is a mission to gather as many of the does as possible and escape the Efrafan warren; the success of the escape leads to an all out war between the Efrafa warren and the Watership Down warren of rabbits. Overall impression: Despite the fact that this is a book which consists solely around the lives of a group of rabbits, I found that I greatly enjoyed the book. I enjoyed the journey of the rabbits and their continued determination to find and make a better life for themselves by working together. I would definitely recommend this book for fans of other such animal tales as "The Secret of Nimh", as well as those who are looking for a longer book to share with their children.
