Review Quotes: "I...recall...finishing Richard Adam's Watership Down--a rousing adventure that was also about the impossible courage of the weakest and the lowest--a theme which for a young person never fails to resonate--a book with tremendous intelligence and wisdom and yes, wonder--and at the end of its last sentence, knowing with all the force of my young heart that my happiness would forever be caught up with reading. True then and true now."--Junot Diaz, author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
"All books should end the way Watership Down ends, with one hundred pages of Ahhhhh."--Madeline Miller, author of Circe "Spellbinding...Marvelous...A taut tale of suspense, hot pursuit and derring-do."--Chicago Tribune "Marvelous... powerful."--The New York Times Book Review-- "Chicago Tribune"
