"Fiver could sense danger. Something terrible was going to happen to the warren, he felt sure of it. So did his brother Hazel, for Fiver's sixth sense was never wrong. They had to leave immediately, and they had to persuade the other rabbits to join them. And so begins a long and perilous journey of a small band of rabbits in search of a safe home. Fiver's vision finally leads them to Watership Down, but here they face their most difficult challenge of all"--Back cover. Suggested level: intermediate, junior secondary.
This was a fun and nice book to read.
It is cool to see a lot of human things described from 'rabbit perspective' with only some of them knowing what to do with something.
I loved the parts where one of the rabbits came up with something smart, without a way to make the other rabbits understand how it worked. Like the boat.
Ich hatte das als Buch schon mal gelesen, nun als Hörspiel. Unter dem Link steht es noch bis zum 4. Dezember 2022 zum Download.
Trotz der vielen Charaktere und Stimmen war es kein Problem der Handlung zu folgen, was mir manchmal bei Hörspielen so geht. Besonders wird mir die Stimme und Sprechweise der Möwe im Gedächtnis bleiben. Sicher werde ich jetzt drandenken, wenn ich so einen Vogel fliegen sehe.
