Summary: great book
Review: This is the book that made me start to read. It is amazing how he does the speech for the characters. My personal favorite charcter was Basil Stag Hare who's speech I liked the best. I give it 5 stars because I like it a lot.

Summary: A refreshing break from the other young adult novels
Review: This book seems to invite the imaginations of all who read it to come out from the shadows of everyday life to come and play in the good old-fashioned legend. This book takes an unlikely hero, being that he is a mouse, and turns him into an idol that the younger generation can look up to. The essential theme of good versus evil sets a great background for the tale Jacques so carefully weaves. Younger and older generations will be easily carried away with the stories of the anthropomorphic animals and thier struggles set in a medieval abbey. Beautifully mastered, Redwall is sure to be a treat for everyone.

Summary: the amazing redwall
Review: The book Redwall, by Brian Jaques was very exciting. Every page was filled with adventure and action. Jacues made the story come to life. Matthias was very brave and a good main character. I liked this book because it was well written and made me wonder what was going to happen next. I liked Cluny and Matthias, the two main characters, they were enimies. Cluny was a big warrior rat and he had a giant tail. Matthias was a little, brave couragious, mouse that heard stories of redwall's hero Martin and wanted to be just like him. During the war between the people of redwall and Cluny's horde Matthias found Martin's sword and defeated the horde. I loved this book. The only bad thing was I got confused when they would switch from talking about redwall to cluny. Therefore I rate the book with a four star.

Summary: This is a "kid's" book?
Review: I always saw the "Redwall" novels promoted as "young reader" books. Being a fan of kidlit, I decided to give "Redwall" a go.My 3 stars is given with mixed emotions. On one hand, the book has extremely clever parts. The riddles and rhymes about Martin's sword are pretty well done. The characters, especially "subsidiary" characters like Basil Stag Hare are likeable and interesting. The story is *extremely* suspenseful in places - it would be good at holding the interest of many "reluctant readers", I would bet. But the one thing that puts me off is the level of violence in the novel. Yes, I know it is meant to be a fairly simple story pitting good against evil. But it shocks me somewhat that the members of the Abbey - supposedly a peaceful and healing band - do not express more regret or reservation over the carnage they must deal. (Also, not to give too much away, but several very sympathetic characters die in the novel - I know some kids would be very upset by this). Perhaps this is my 30-year-old sensibility intruding on an adventure story for young teens. I don't know. But the amount of killing and swordplay in a book that I took to be aimed at 12 or so year olds was startling to me. Then again, I found parts of "The Hobbit" a lot scarier upon an "adult aged" rereading than I did as a kid... At any rate, although the novels are promoted for kids, if you have extreme reservations about violence/war/death being depicted in the books your kids read, you may wish to go elsewhere...(I say this because these books are heavily, and surprisingly, promoted in a small catalog that otherwise deals with "understanding other people" and "peace promoting" toys)

Summary: Redwall begins the series wonderfully.
Review: Redwall begins the series wonderfully. Brian Jacques describes the combat and defeat with such detail, and the way he describes the hare dialogue is amazing. When you are in a quiet place and reading Redwall, the combat is enough to make you feel you're in it. My favorite part is the rhymes Martin the Warrior writes to Methuselah and Matthias about his lost scabbard and shield. Redwall is full of comedy, mystery, and sadness. I enjoy reading the Redwall series, and you will, too.

Summary: Redwall: 5 Star Material
Review: I really enjoyed reading the book Redwall. It was a fantastic story filled with fun and magical adventure. Brian Jacques did a wonderful job writing this book. I liked how he gave the mice human characteristics. With his detailed writing and descriptive words, he was able to paint a picture in my mind. From beginning to end you cheer for Matthias and the mice as they battle Cluny and the rats for victory, and protection of their precious Abbey. This book is also a great lesson in teamwork, bravery, and friendship. This is a book that I will not soon forget,and I would definitely recommend it to all 7th, 8th, and 9th grade students.

Summary: Good book!
Review: I found Redwall to be a fascinating book filled with cryptic endings and beginnings. Each page kept me hooked until the end. I really enjoyed reading it. Brain Jacques did an excellent job in writing the book. Each animal in the book had it's own personality and meaning. I loved the way Matthias used all his little mouse power to fight off Cluny. I found Redwall a book that is perfect for someone who loves things having to do with the Medieval times and adventures. Each chapter will keep you using your mind and imagination. I know that I enjoyed reading it and I am sure it won't be hard for you to either From the Abby walls to Cluny's hideout Brain Jacques takes you along as the battle at Redwall begins!
