I read it when I was a kid. Did not like. Then again, I have no interest in fiction of any kind.

This is one of my favorite books. If you have seen the movie, but never read the book, you are missing out on a lot! the movie left out a lot of characters,and changed some of the stuff that happens in the book. I like the movie too. The book is so much better.

I happen to be on the richard adams yahoo group. There is an artist on there, that personally knows richard adams. He is working with him on getting a illistrated book published to celebrate the fortieth anniversary. Sadly peguin books, his publisher in the uk refused to publish the illustrated edition. But, they may be working with a publisher in the US to get it published. I have seen some of the artwork. Its beautiful.

You can get the non published version on amazon.com

Did you guys know Richard Adams will be 91 years old this year?

I also recommend reading the plague dogs, and tales from watership down, also by Richard Adams.
