Watership Down is one of my favorite books of all time.

I don't really know how to use emoticons, I just never really learned, I try, but alas for a person of my age, I am rather bad at it.

I should watch more soap operas and stop reading Jane Austen. that'll fix my problems.

Jk lol

Did I use that right?

Never mind, back to Watership Down.
I <3 it, very much.

It's a story about rabbits, now don't get all,
"Rabbits? Rabbits? it must be a childish childs story."
I beg to difer. though children might enjoy it.

It's a survival story. kind of a rabbit dystopia story. before dystopia stories were cool.

The story opens with Hazel and his brother Fiver, (Rabbits are bad at counting, anything over five is simply a fiver)

Fiver is counted as weird and timid, his normal brother Hazel looks out for him.

When Fiver senses something horrible will happen

he and Hazel try to warn the other rabbits in their warren

(Warren's are several burrows where rabbits live in large numbers)

Their warren, their society is ruled by a general.

What the General says, goes,

and he doesn't like what Fiver is saying.

Hazel and Fiver along with a group leave in the dead of night,
but their dangers aren't over, no, it's just the beginning

                                   They have nowhere to go, and only a hope to guide them.

They're never safe for long as they find new friends and new treacherous enemies.

There's nowhere to go except a path that is fraught with unspoken dangers.
the only constant thing for our haired friends, is danger.
Their warren, gone, destroyed and the dangers they face much, much worse.
Will they make it?


That's right, these rabbit's just got real.
