That book is one of the best I've ever read. If you're mature enough to see past the fact that the protagonists are rabbits (yeah, I know, seems pretty wack), it's just a fantastic adventure novel. The author (Richard Adams) also successfully creates a believable mythology, linguistics, and culture... for rabbits. Plus there's one of the most badass villains I've ever read in any piece of literature.
All that said, the movie sucks. It couldn't hold the book's jock if it used both hands.

easssssy. Maybe it just wasn't exactly my slice of cake. Maybe it was the fact it was an assigned reading and I was a senior in high school so I didn't give the reading my all. Nevertheless, I did not enjoy the book. But I'm glad that you did.
