Watership Down 

A truly epic (used in the actual sense, not the modern sense) book by Richard Adams about of a group of semi-anthropomorphic rabbits who make their way across the English countryside in search of a new home. Though built on a simple concept, it is a grand tale of adventure, full of dynamic characters, intense action, suspense, mythology and mystery.

And it's not just a kid's book. Read it, you'll fall in love with the story of Hazel, Fiver, Bigwig, Blackberry, Dandelion, and El-ahrairah.

(At library)
Jerky teenage boy: This place blows, lets go!
Librarian: Here, read this book, it's about rabbits.
Boy: Sounds gay, but whatever....
(One week later)
Boy: Holy shit, that book is f**king amazing!

"Wisdom is found on the desolate hillside, where none come to feed." -Lord Frith, Watership Down

Watership Down 

A book about rabbits, written by Richard Adams in 1972. Your teachers will tell you that there is an underlying theme concerning the continuous struggle between tyranny and freedom, but no, it's really just about rabbits.

What book are you reading?
Watership Down.
Oh yeah, I read that. The moral of the story is that rabbits like carrots.

Watership Down 

The other two fuckers who wrote a def. Don’t know what they’re talking about. Watership Down is a 1972 novel by Richard Adams about rabbits moving to a new home after their old one (and everyone in it) is brutally destroyed. It’s objectively the best thing ever made.

Bill: What’re you reading?
Jimbo: Watership Down, aka the Bible 2 you fat lard.

Watership Down 

Just by looking at the title without any other context you probably thought this was a book about ships like the Titanic (original 1912 adaptation 1997) or some random shipwreck that isolates the main characters and sends them into an isolated island, in which they are, either converted to that island's culture, or if there is nobody there they start a colony until they are saved by helicopters, or if the entire story is about the shipwreck and they just trying to figure out ways to survive because literally the captain died during the ship's sinking or some sh*t like that... Maybe it's actually about battleships and a naval battle that goes horribly wrong as per usual... Or the guy who's stuck on the island literally just starves to death or something because not all stories need to end on a happy note. Well if you were expecting human characters and a marine-centered plot then guess what bud you're both wrong, because this story isn't centered around the ocean at all and instead named after a hill that looks like the Windows XP hill. Well anyway "Watership Down" is a 1972 story written by British author Richard Adams and is a... I haven't read it yet but all I can say I have watched the '78 movie which despite I was not alive until the 2000s I have seen. It is the definition of "Not all cartoons are for kids" despite the fact that it got a U rating (over here in murica this translates to a G rating)

Watership down: blood, "piss off" and characters brutally killing each other
british board of film classification: u rating, take it or leave it.
