Tales from Watership Down

Summary: A GOOD BOOK THAT COULD DO BETTER
Review: Well,I have to admit that it in now will ever come close to being better or even as good as Watership Down. And it does sort of make you see El-hraira as more of a beggar than the crafty and witty rabbit we all know and love. And Richard Adams in my opinion could have done a lot better. And it does not give any reference as to why Hazel happens to be alive. But I really love the storys They were one of my favorite things from Watership Down. So all in all it is a good book that could do better.

Summary: Excuse me? This is the sequal to Watership?
Review: No way no how never! I cannot understand how this book could be writtin by the same author as Watership Down. I am currently under the impression that some very dry and boring and totally lacking in the knowledge of what makes a good book person snuck into Adam's computer and published this in his name! What a total loser this book is compared to watership down! If you have read the first one, don't waist your time dissapointing yourself on this peice of nothing.

Summary: PLEASANT SEQUEL
Review: Since I loved the book Watership Down, I was overjoyed to find that there was a sequel to it. While not as good as the first book, I would definatley recommend it to anyone. The rabbit characters are more well thought out then most, and I wish that there were more sequels in store.

Summary: Extremly dissapointing.
Review: Watership Down was beautiful, Tales from watership down dose not come close to comparing. I find in amazing that the same author wrote these two books. Adams can do so much better. I had watership down read to me when I was younger, and loved it, and read it again and again. Then when I heard about Tales from watership, I went crazy. I was so happy and bought it right away. Gross. It is so lacking in the beauty and warmth and tension that Watership down is full of. If you've read Watership, don't read this one, it simply draws a VERY bad close to a beautiful book. It's just to easy. In my opinion, if Richard Adams couldn't find a better way to end a magnifacent book like Watership down, he shouldn't have even tried!

Summary: One of the best books ever written!
Review: This is a great sequel to the first book. I do wish he had written a little more about Havel, Fiver and the rest, but it was very satisfying. I'm really happy that Richard Adams wrote a sequel and I deeply recommend this book to anyone who read the first one. But a word of caution. If you haven't read the first one, then I would not suggest you read this book. It takes place after Watership Down and might be a little confusing if you haven't read the first one.

Summary: I definately recommend this book...
Review: After reading Watership Down, I immediatly set to work on Tales From Watership Down, and I'd like to say that I wasn't in the least bit disappointed. It was great to read more stories about El-ahrairah and Rabscuttle, and better to read more about the Watership rabbits. I definately recommend this book to anyone who loved Watership Down.

Summary: Pretty good, but he's written better...
Review: Now, this is a *good* book, but _Watership Down_ and _The Plague Dogs_ are *excellent* books, and this one is a /little/ disappointing by comparison. I think the other reviews describe it's faults and qualities pretty well, so I'll just say it's definately worth reading, (especially if you enjoyed _Watership_) but don't expect it to be better than (or as good as) the original.

Summary: I waited 20 years for this?!
Review: Watership down is one of my all time favorites. I didn't know a sequal was coming out and when I saw it I nearly fainted. Looking back I wish I had and that I would have hit my head hard enough to forget I saw it.

Rating:
Summary: A good description of the book
Review: Pro:This book was a good one. Pro:An excellent recapping of Watership Down. Pro:The ending will not leave you wondering what is going to happen next. Con:It seemed like there was something missing, a detail of some kind. Con:I wish there could have been more stories and details on the rabbits.

Summary: Richard Adams wrote this !?
Review: Watership Down is my all-time favorite book, so when I saw it had a sequel, I nearly flipped. Was I ever dissapointed!!!! First of all, it hardly ever talks about Hazel and the others. It mainly talks of El-ahrairah, who suddenly looks like a dunce. Secondly, when it does focus on the others, it mostly focuses on the new characters, Hazel needs everything decided for him, Fiver is stuck in the Twilight Zone, Bigwig hardly says a word, and there are suddenly two chief rabbits. But worst of all, it is poorly written and most certainy not written by the same Richard Adams who wrote Watership Down. I for one think it was a waste of my money and time!
