Let us revisit the memories of our childhoods. 
 Or maybe discover new ones because I never read the book when I was little. There existed a tv show long ago but it was never on when I watched television so I never got to know the story. 
 Was this book boring? No. It doesn't really revolve around many interesting themes or go too deep but why should it, it's a childrens book after all. And that is exactly what I liked so much about it. Remember the first few seasons of Spongebob Squarepants? They were incredibly funny, not just because I was a kid, no. They were witty, clever and even thoughtful. And then they dumbed them down just like the rest of Cartoon Networks and Nickelodeons shows - except for Avatar - The Last Airbender that show gets my approval anytime. 
 And that is exactly what makes this book so good for kids and why it was even fun to read for an adult like me. It's educational, it's clever and it deals with important values every kid should learn about, like helping others, not forgetting about yourself, trusting your instincts, learning that not everyone in the world is nice and good but also that the "bad" ones maybe have their fights to fight and that we shouldn't be too quick to judge someone by their actions and mistakes. 
 What bugged me a little was that the does didn't get a lot of attention. They're the objective of the second half of the book, but, although some of them expressed interesting characteristic traits, none of them got much of an appearance. It's all about the boys. Which surprised me a little because Richard Adams himself says that he started writing the story for his two daughters, so why not give the girls in the book a little more action as well? 
 But that's only a minor part that bugged me and I would definitely still recommend the book as childrens book. In the end it doesn't always have to be about girls. And who knows? Maybe does do have only a minor role among rabbits so this story was actually just very realistic - disregarding the fact that rabbits can talk. 
 I very much liked that the book manages to keep a high intellectual level throughout. The rabbits act mature and everything that gets explained doesn't deem the readers stupid; it just makes sense to explain the matter - a lot of facts that were mentioned about rabbits I had never heard before, so I actually learned something. I feel like if I would have read this as a child I would have felt treated equally and fairly by the author, even though I may not know as much as him. 
 And I truly think that's what makes this book so memorable. I regret a little that I didn't read it as a child, because I'm sure I would have loved it, but it just wasn't as popular in my country or maybe I was just oblivious to it. I loved childrens books that made me think, that challenged my intellect and that actually taught me something. And although I never read this book it still somehow was a trip down memory lane.
