Book # 100- Watership Down by Richard Adams

Somehow I was under the false impression that Watership Down was about rabbits trying not to drown while on a ship. I guess I was wrong. Instead it is about of rabbits that break away from their warren when one of the rabbits have a psychic vision about an impending disaster. So a group leaves and they have some adventures while trying to find a new place to live. They find a nice place and then realize that they forgot to bring any female rabbits with them. So then they get into a conflict with another warren that basically is run by a dictator rabbit when they ask them if any of their females wish to leave.

Overall it is kind of a weird book. You'd imagine that it is a kids book but it really isn't. And then sometimes the rabbits act dumb like rabbits but then they're able to make a plan to escape using a boat and floating down the river. And then there's the issue that one of the rabbits is psychic and can see the future. And the rabbits are also sorta sexist. Which is funny when you consider that apparently rabbits do not live in a male dominated society. Plus somehow they're able to team up with a bird and communicate with him in a different language that apparently all animals know.

Still, it was entertaining even if it went on a bit too long and had way too many different rabbit characters. It also included quotes from The Wind in the Willows and The Brothers Karamazov. I'll give it an A-.
