I...I felt it was a difficult book to read for kids. I certainly couldn't read it way back then. But each of us is different. I just dispute how it is targeted solely as JUST a kids book because I don't think it is. I read Harry Potter and they are more kids books even though adults read them. <br /> Like I say just because it is an animal story it seems an obligation to put it into the kids genre.<br /> As for the females, I'm quoting the critsims I have read else where on the book.

If you can find Rona...That was a good read; thanks. If you can find Ronald Lockley's book, it's worth seeing, though a bit grim in the chapters describing myxomatosis in detail.<br /><br />I read WD at the age of 12, and it's long been published here (the UK) in both Penguin and the children's imprint Puffin, so I'm not sure it's the case that only adults read it. As for females, what about Hyzenthlay? I've always felt she was a little underrated.Loganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03769758118827489093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872225494241033745.post-66818863576485749452011-05-06T10:40:03.457-07:002011-05-06T10:40:03.457-07:00I needed a fresh book for the bus ride to work so ...I needed a fresh book for the bus ride to work so Watership Down is now getting its yearly read.<br /><br />I wouldn't worry about finding critiquing this novel difficult as you got it completely spot on :-)<br /><br />KKarinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06675872174982961589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872225494241033745.post-53595532665302649852011-05-05T14:45:27.018-07:002011-05-05T14:45:27.018-07:00ThanksII This was absolute agony to write.
