Book Reviews of Tales from Watership Down
Book Review: Not as good as the original.
Summary: 4 Stars
I truly commend Mr. Adams. After our many years of waiting, he has given us a sequel to a classic that most other authors would never be able to achieve. However, what really brings this book down is the fact that the chapters in here are barely about the actual WD rabbits. In fact, there is a whole Part dedicated to El-ahrairah, the rabbit prince. Another thing that I realized is that this book takes place in between the final battle with Woundwort and the very end of Watership Down, meaning Hazel is still with us. If you're a huge, unconditional fan of Watership Down, then this would be a great book for you, and I'll bet that these little flukes won't even phase you. If not, don't get too disappointed.Book Review: I'll Take It
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is no where near as well written as Watership Down. However, I don't feel cheated, the title says "tales" and thats what we got, a series of "Tales" from Watership Down. I must say I was very disappointed at the tales that talked about the warren from Watership Down following the defeat of Woundwort. I was; however, pleased with the tales of Elahrairah. These tales gave me a little more insight into the world Adams created. Adams created mythological stories (which are by no means easy to create). While this book is no where near as good as the first it still gives us a little bit more of Watership Down and what more could we ask for?Book Review: Good reading, but not what I had expected
Summary: 4 Stars
For someone who considers Watership Down to be one of the greatest books I have ever read, it took a long time for me to pick up this continuation. Not so much a sequel, "Tales" starts up where the original left off, with a healthy and happy warren full of hope for the coming years. I guess I was expecting a new adventure with Hazel, Bigwig and the lot, but instead was treated to new rabbits and some of their adventures (and misadventures, at that). This book won't be as meaningful to readers unfamiliar with the original story, but any opportunity to revisit with old and cherished friends is worth taking.Book Review: Good...
Summary: 4 Stars
Well by all accounts Tales from Watership Down is a charming book. I am not going bore with stick to the original, I am a big fan of Mr Adams I have read seven of his works, with Tales he brings a different approach. The characters and pretty much the same. The book is broken into three parts. All which on way or another deal with the Watership warren as well as two other warrens. I enjoyed the stories very much, if you are an open minded person I think you will enjoy it. Just give it a chance.
Book Review: A GOOD BOOK THAT COULD DO BETTER
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
