I am aware the movie is super scary and that I agree it is not at all suitable for children.
Now, for the part everyone thinks is dark. Of course their are some ups and downs-they get scared about being in the open and worried about predators for example. So it's an adventure novel!! You follow their journey through the hills and the rivers a d listen to their stories and how the rabbits see their world. So the whole story is about Fiver, a runt, having a sixth-sense and leading a small group of rabbits who believe him away from the Warren and out to seek a better one. They say Watership down was meant to be an adults book, but the writer actually made up the whole story to entertain his two young daughters during a long car ride, and it was his daughters who convinced him to get it published! It was written like poetry, the words were so beautiful, and the rabbits had their own myths and legends and I loved listening to the clever tales.
I read the book aged 10 and I absolutely adored it. Okay, so I know when everyone hears "Watership down" they immediately think dark and sad and other negative things, but please please please just hear me out because the truth is not like this.
