Summary: My kid loves this series
Review: My 3rd grade boy wanted to read this book, but I thought it would be too difficult for him, but he started it anyway. He has been loving it. He is usually rushing home from school to do more reading. I plan to get him additional books in the series for his birthday. I have also read the book and think it is a delightful adventure that boys and girls will love. It has a clear meaning of good and evil with virtues that you want to instill in your children. This would also make a great read-aloud book for parents to read with their children. I highly recommend it.

Summary: REDWALL RULES THE WORLD
Review: My book is called Redwall. The authors name is Brian Jacques. He has wroten many books that are in the Redwall series. I would have to say that the genra of the book would be young adult- mystery. The book is about a mouse named Mathhias, and his whole goal is to find the sword of Martin the Warrior. He finds it, and succeds in saving his city, which is called Redwall. Also in the end he ends up killing Cluny the Scorage. Which is the main bad guy in the book. The book is much like the Hobbit series. With much action and many fighting sceens. So if you like the Hobbit, you would probably like Redwall, or vice versa. I loved this book and i think that most kids my age would also. If you like playing RPG's on the nintendo or watching adventurous movies and hate reading books like me. I garuntee you will still love this book. I loved the main character because he was always trying. He ws relentless always think up more ideas to find the sword or kill Cluny. I was also moved by how he accomplished all of it when he was only about my age. One of my fav. quotes in the book was when he said, "They're coming, down the road! I can see them. I can see them!" p. 48. this was when the church mouse and everyone else were waiting for the rats to come and this was one of the final battles between the two groups of rodents. When i read it i knew that this battle was going to be good, and it also left me hanging because it is right at the end of a chapter. Almost ever aspect of this book is good. It has action for some people, a little romance, and a whole lot of mystery. The only draw back of the book is that if you are to young then this book would be hard to read, or it might not be that interesting. Also if you were a little older than me it wouldn't be that interesting either. But if your my age give it a try!

Summary: The Best Adventure Series I Will Ever Know!!!!
Review: Being the first book of the series (although not chronologically), this book is not as good as the others in the series, but I would still give it 6 stars if I could! Brian Jacques seems to be discovering his new world for himself just as he introduces it to the reader. His books combine friendship, fun, happiness, anger, hope, and everything else into one adventure story. His talent in being able to do this without losing the reader -ever- is truly astounding!!!
In this unique book, a young, somewhat awkward mouse named Matthias learns how to be a true warrior and, through riddles and mysteries, finds that he is to take the place of the legendary founder and warrior of Redwall Abbey. With the help of his friends, he pursues his true destiny.

Summary: A classic tale anyone can enjoy!
Review: Redwall is a spectacular book. It tells about the warrior mouse name Matthias who has to protect the Redwall Abbey from a vicous band of rats and weasels. Every character is filled with detail and fun.
The book unfolds in a way that lets you read what is happening to more than one party at the same time. It will keep you on the edge of you seat wondering what will happen next.
The story has plenty of twists, turns, sub characters, and songs. At times, it will fill you with laughter and sorrow. You don't want to miss this!

Summary: The Wonderment of Redwall
Review: This is a true literary masterpiece. It has all the elements that a book needs. The storyline is both complex and engrossing, to provide the readers with hours of enjoyment. Even though the book is long, the storyline never gets monotonous. The characters are well developed and all of them have a different, colorful personality. The dialogue is both witty, and adds a lot to the book. Redwall is the perfect book for any fantasy (maybe even animal) lover!

Summary: Slightly disappointed
Review: Judging the book by its cover, I thought Brian Jaques work would be an intelligent flight of the imagination. What I found instead was a book that seemed to read more like a cartoon movie and borrow plots from countless other works before his. The language at times was so simple and fractured that I couldn't believe it got past the editor's nose, and at other times the sentences were so packed with difficult vocabulary words I can only imagine the frustration of a young reader who would have to keep stopping midsentence to seek out an adult or look to a dictionary to make a what was just read coherent. By all means, I am in favor of stretching a child's vocabulary, but to write a child's book in total disregard of the language of an average child?
I also found several passages confusing, such as a mistakes in referencing the evil ferret as a "her" in some places and a "he" in others.
I must admit, though, that something pulled me through to the end, and it was a good outline for a story. I guess I'm just disappointed with the end result.

Summary: The legend of Martin the Warrior lives!!
Review: Redwall Abbey has for many season been a peaceful and calm place, known throughout the land as being a hospitable place to stay. But one day, a threat overshadows the creatures of all Mossflower woods, Cluny the Scourge has come! Cluny, the enormous sea rat with his eye patch on showing only his one gleaming eye and his long, strong tail with the poison tip on it. And Cluny wants only one thing, he wants to take over Redwall Abbey as his own! Cluny sends them a message: Surrender or die. And the Redwall creatures answer him, they will fight him. The Redwall creatures Constance the badger, Jess the squirrel and her son Silent Sam, Foremole, Basil Stag Hare, and others are fiercely determined to stop Cluny and his rat hordes from taking over Mossflower. But Matthias, the young mouse and Methuselah, the old record keeper, believe that victory will be ensured for them only if they can find the legendary sword of Martin the Warrior. Following clues and riddles, they find out that the sword is on the highest point of the Abbey, on the weather vane. Jess the squirrel bravely climbs to the very top but is attacked by sparrows. Jess comes down safely bringing down one young female sparrow. The put the sparrow called Warbeak inside a basket and keep her prisoner. Jess says that the sword was not there and they are all disappointed. But Matthias, being able to catch on to the sparrow's language, discovers from Warbeak that the sword was taken by the king of sparrows, King Bull Sparra. Matthias, taking Warbeak as a guide, goes to the sparrows place high above in the attics of the Abbey. Warbeak and Matthias becomes friends and that is what saves him when the sparrows start attacking him. Warbeak tells everyone that Matthias came to return her to her tribe. The young mouse is made into a pet for Warbeak and her mother Dunwing. Dunwing tells him that King Bull Sparra did have the sword but it had been stolen by the deadly poisonous adder, Asmodeus. Can Matthias escape the sparrows to try to get the sword back? And even if he does, will he be able to defeat the deadly snake, Asmodeus? Asmodeus with his eyes that can charm it's victims and his poisonous teeth? And will the Redwall animals be able to defeat Cluny? This is the first book written in the Redwall Series, though if you were to read the books in time order, books like "Martin the Warrior", "Mossflower", "Mariel of Redwall", and "The Bellmaker" are before this book. As with all of the Redwall Series, I love the hare, Basil Stag Hare, with his military ways, his enormous appetite, his humor, and his faithfulness to stick with his friends. Really like Silent Sam, the squirrel, too! Also love all the riddles and puzzles in which Matthias and Methuselah had to solve to find the sword.
