Rant Numero Uno

Hullo world, It's Perry-V!

So here's the deal. I have been asked to answer this question: What is a book that I find to be really good, and why would I recommend it. The answer to that is simple, Newbies and Newbiettes. One of the most inspiring and wonderful books I've ever read is fairly old, and contains a classic story. The book is called Watership Down, written by Richard Adams.

This book tells the story of a group of rabbits living in England who are forced from their warren when Fiver, one of the group, has a psychic vision of a terrible danger coming. As they flee, the group encounter many dangers, from wire traps to dogs. Finally, they find what seems to be paradise, a warren on a high hill, Watership Down. They then realize they have a new dilemma, they are the only rabbits around, and they are all male. This causes them to discover Efrafa, a dictatorship warren run by General Woundwort. In order to survive, the Down rabbits must attempt to make peace with these vicious rabbits, or else lose all they have worked for.

I highly recommend this book because it is truly one of the greatest books I have ever read, being a very well-written story that is unpredictable. As well, the book gives a unique look into the lives of the animals it tells about, going into depth about the rabbits' gods, their folk tales, how they could possibly operate as a community and why they do certain things. It even gives the reader an outlook as to the rabbit's language, using footnotes to explain.

This is a picture of the rabbits' god, Lord Frith.

The plotline of this book is well-fleshed out, and the author was not afraid to add gore and situations of peril, while at the same time not going over the top. The story is one of sorrow, joy, and the trials of life. It is written so well, that one could almost believe that, once upon a time in England, it truly could've happened.

That is why I say, in closing, READ THIS BOOK!

And that's the deal.
