Rating:  Summary: A Superb Read for All Ages Review: "Redwall" is a book of friendship, war, and conflict. Author Brian Jacques incorporates drama, action, adventure, and comedy into this extremely entertaining story. Redwall gripped me and compelled me to continue reading through the night. At first, I was a little skeptical about reading this book. At first glance, it seems very childish, and after reading the inside cover, I still felt I should be looking at the Forgotten Realms or Robert Jordan novels. But, don't judge a book by its cover. I read it, and i do not regret it. It's amazing how brave little rodents can be. Jacques, despite choosing tiny creatures as heroes, wrote a compelling story, and believeable conflict. You felt as the characters felt. As the characters struggled, you struggled, as they were joyous, you were joyous, and any book that can pull you in like this one can, it is worth reading.
Rating:  Summary: Two BIG Thumbs Up!! Review: Redwall is an excellent book for anyone who is looking for just an good and exciting book to read. I would place it as my third most favourite book in the Redwall series(Next to The Pearls Of Lutra and Salamandastron). Redwall is about a evil one eyed rat warlord named Cluny the Scourge who id determined to take over Redwall Abbey, a large red sanstone building set in Mossflower Woods, and a young mouse who lives at the Abbey named Matthias, who's hands hold the fate of Redwall Abbey and all of Mossflower from Cluny... Rewall is sad, funny, and has lots of action(Note to parents:This book has a few minor swears(Hell)and has slaying, blood and gore, and some violence so I would recommend childern under 6 should not read this book). This is a great book and should be read by any action lovers, so go to your local bookstore or library and pick a copy up.
Rating:  Summary: Redwall Series: Book 1: Redwall Review: This is a great book that will take you through adventurous quests and challenges. Jacques really gets you into the feel of the settings.
Rating:  Summary: Adventure! Heroes! Mighty fun! Review: This fast-paced action adventure is set in a charming animal kingdom, complete with a young hero mouse and slimy enemies, and a cast of thousands. The characters are very well-defined. Brian Jacques is a gifted storyteller. But beware! Very bad things DO happen to good animals! And to their enemies of course. This is fun escapist reading. I highly recommend this book, and look forward to reading the next adventure in the series!
Rating:  Summary: A Medieval Version Of Watership Down Review: Brian Jacques very popular Redwall series began with this first installment. I thought I would hate Redwall. As I began to read I found myself becoming caught up in Jacques story of the sweet natured animals of Redwall Abbey and their attempts to fight off the Rat War Lord, Cluney The Scourge. Redwall is a grand tale, full of romance, heroism and adventure. The villain of the story, Cluney The Scourge, is one of the smartest and most fascinating bad guys I've come across in some time. He's like something out of a Kurosawa film. I'm not kidding. Redwall is grand. Preston McClear, MalibuBooks.com
Rating:  Summary: Best Book I Ever Read! Review: This was the best series of books ever. I love them so much that I start one, finish it and then go right away+read another one. I'll be soooo disapointed when their is'nt another one to read.
Rating:  Summary: Memories, Memories Review: Hullo! My name is Bazy and I have a love for fantasy books. We've just gotten a new kitten, a manx, that hops around like a bunny. So my mother had me running through my books, looking for rabbit/hare names. During this little expedition I've rediscovered my love for the Redwall series (among others). *This* particular book, Redwall itself, is in my humble opinion the greatest of the series. Well, actually, perhaps not: it has a different feel than the others. Slight, yes, but clearly different. I'd recommend this book for anyone: Adults, teens, children, children who cannot read yet (and would have to have it read to them). Jaques is a magical writer. There can be so much joy that it seems excentric to an outsider, and yet you delight so very much in it. For the series is rather dark and grim. The forces of evil are spectacular. Some of the best baddies I've run across in my exploration through literature. Classic bad guys. All right, so, this is rather a generalizing review; but keep in mind, that Redwall started it all, of course, so this book is to thank, hm? A wonderful read that leaves you with magic in your heart, and has you yearning for more of the world and its beautiful characters and histories. *Never* have I finished a Redwall book and *not* wept, at least a little. Whether for the death of a brilliant, sweet character, or for the terrible loss of being ensnared by the words, by the characters, by the what-happens-next?--and most of all, by the magic. Namarie. ~Bazy.
Rating:  Summary: Redwall is cool Review: Redwall is a great book. It is fiiled with riddles and violence. It is about a mouse who sets out to find a sword. But there is an evil mouse named Cluny who is attacking Redwall. As the young mouse is out many Redwall mice(which are untrained) defend it. Will the young mouse, Mattias get the sword, will Redwall be kept safe, find out in Redwall
Rating:  Summary: Redwall is the bomb!!! book 1 Review: "Matthias get a fish for the feast." said Abbot Mortimer, the oldest leader mouse. "Sure." said Matthias the boldest,bravest young mouse. These characters in Brian Jacquues book Redwall had no idea that some one was spying on them. This was no ordinary spy this was Cluny the most evil rat who didn't care who died. Cluny and his henchmen have been trying to get into Redwall for a long time in thier search for Martin.Martin is a thing that Cluny believes will make him win every war, but Matthias sees them take it. Now it's up to Matthias and his friends to get Martin back before Cluny destroys every thing. Redwall is an awesome book, I loved it. It was an awesome adventure/fantasy, because it's not easy to figure out what happens next.
