The review notes that, to his own astonishment, Watership Down 'is stunning, compulsive reading', and is both minutely detailed and inventive. It is interesting to read his jotted notes, where he asks questions such as 'allegory or not?' and 'for children or not?'. He also points out that because the rabbits are frequently in danger, and yet can fight and inflict damage if needed, this brings to the story 'the possibility of courage (or cowardice) and heroism'.
