“It’s about rabbits.”

Those three words kept me from taking Watership Down off my shelf for years. When I did, I entered another world.

Tolkien still reigns in the game of world-creation, but Adams shows the strategic brilliance of not playing on Tolkien’s court of elves and monsters. Instead, he creates between few fields and woods, and holes.

I’m sure that whatever version of the book you pick up will have all the adjectives on the flycover from other reviewers: majestic, brilliant, powerful, epic…

In this case, trust the reviewers. They’re right.

She must know what she’s talking about to sell books like How to Sell What You Write. I haven’t pursued writing professionally, but even I found nothing new in this book, and the old stuff wasn’t especially well-said.
