Goodreads recommended Watership Down to me, and since it was a book Cass brought to the marriage (doesn't that sound funny?), it was convenient to read. It tells the story of a few rabbits who choose to leave their warren because one of them, Fiver, has a premonition that something bad is going to happen. Though his vision isn't clear, he is trusted by a few rabbits. The book is basically about these rabbits and their journey to find, and make, a new home, as well as to bring some female rabbits into their warren so that they can procreate and make their arduous journey worth it.
Some parts are pretty exciting, but other parts drag on and on. Adams also uses a lot of made-up rabbit language, which you eventually get used to, but is kind of annoying. I would have liked Watership Down a whole lot more if it was about half as long. It was an okay book, but not great by any means. Three stars.
