So, have any of you read this fantastic novel? I read it as a kid and I still love it today. Also there is an animated film adaptation which I thought was good, as well. What did you think of the book? What characters did you like the best? What were your favorite scenes? Bigwig was one of my favorites.

I enjoyed the final scene between him and General Woundwort.

I remember reading it Freshman Year, and it was the only book I liked. Brilliantly written. The film is really creepy and trippy to me though, definitely not a G movie. xD

My favorite character is Fiver, because of how little and cute he sounds. He's also the oddball in the warren, yet helps out the group the most next to Bigwig and Hazel.

Favorite scene is probably the fight between Bigwig and General Woundwort. It's like the final climatic battle of sorts, and I imagined a storm and all that cliche stuff to make it seem that much more dramatic. The confrontation with Efrafa was just sooo epic. x)

Oh yes, the movie is definitely that! I remember it was quite bloody too. Aww and I loved Fiver as well. Bless him. If it wasn't for him, of course, Hazel and the rest of the gang wouldn't have made it.

I've never read the book but I saw the film adaptation, what with the bunnies an' stuff.

Truly amazing, it was quite a mark in my childhood, I think.
