Absolute Excellence!

The only thing that annoyed the bejesus out of me was the reader's continual pronunciation of the word' length' as 'lenth'. Such a common and lazy trait these days especially amongst the English – who should know better......

Watership Down.

This book is a great literary work. I would read it over and over again. It is a book that you would want to read day and night. I only came to know of this book in school, and I am glad that is was set for me to read. The Author is a genius in story writing and telling. My favourite part of the book is where the battle is finished and there is peace once more on the down. Now Professor Richard Adams If you read this I want to say thank you for writing something like this. I was exited from the moment I opened the book. Thank you to the publishers of the book for making the book known. Thank you to Audible for putting it on your audio. Thank you Professor Peter Capaldi for reading the book it was amazing thank you. Thank you to all the people for making the experience possible for me.

Magnificent performance of an epic story

Can't recommend this enough. Extraordinarily imaginative storytelling, a beautiful way of putting you in the mindset of the bravest rabbits in history. Everything is an allegory. And Capaldi's performance is incredible, giving each of about twenty key characters a beautifully rounded voice and emotional journey of their own. Worthy of the book itself!

A great reading

Watership Down is my favourite book. I’ve read it several times but not listened to an audio reading before.

Peter Capaldi doesn’t great job.

Gorgeous!

I'm in my 40s and have never read this story before, but I loved it. Beautifully written, and superb narration by Capaldi. I could listen to him for hours!

Loved it

What a marvelous story. Sure, it could've been shorter, but overall it was excellent. A large part of that can be attributed to Peter Capaldi's exceptional narration - he brought all the characters to life, probably more than if I'd read a print version of the book. If you've never read this book before, get this version.

17 hrs and 31 mins of pleasure

Peter Capaldi as the narrator of Watership Down was an inspired choice. I congratulate whoever made that decision. The reading is one of the best, if not the best, I have enjoyed from my many years of Audible subscription. I listen while I walk my dog and had to hide my tears as Mr Capaldi read the last beautiful pages. Do yourself a favour and listen to this wonderful book and sublime narration.

Msterfullly written, masterfully told

I was completely engrossed listening to this wonderful story. I had only ever watched the movie until now, in my 50s decided to listen on Audible. There is nothing to replace the narrator, he was superb in rendering such appropriate uniqueness to each rabbit.
