Summary: Great story, but not quite best.
Review: This book is very good, but I found it a little duller and not quite as enveloping as the other books in the Redwall series. The Marlfoxes added a needed bit of evil mystery to the book, making it exciting and fun. I haven't read any Redwall books in a while, (I've read all the rest) and this book is very welcome. It may not be quite as good as the other books, but it's still one of the best books I've ever read!

Summary: A great suggestion of a beautiful heroine!
Review: This book gives voice to people that girls are able to lead a daring group into an escapade that not even a man would risk. A heroine, hero, and friends go to banish evil from the Woods for once and for all. Who knew young ones like me could save the day? Brian Jaques did!

Summary: Once you start reading, you just can't stop!!!
Review: I cannot put to words how much I loved this book. I started reading one night and before I knew it, I had finished it. It was a definite 5 stars, as are all of Brian Jacques' books. I marvel at the descriptiveness he brings forth in this book. I can almost feel myself fighting alongside the heroic and personable creatures. There is always one character that you can relate to, and it makes the book that much more interesting. The way the characters talk just seems to fit them perfectly. Each creature has their own distinctive speech, which sets them apart from the others, and gives each character their uniqeness. I have only one problem with this book...It was TOO good! I have finished it too quickly and will now have to wait another year for the next one to be published!

Summary: One of the best redwall books
Review: Having read this book twice, I think it is one of the best works from Brian Jacques. I read some of the other reviews about this book and I certainly don't agree with some of them that say it doesn't live up to the reputation Redwall has gained. But I do think it lives up to the Redwall reputation and is the third best redwall book in my mind

Summary: an absolute page turner, a must read
Review: If you have read at least one or more of the redwall series, if you loved the action, the adventure, the heroism, if you have been waiting hopefully for the next in this wonderful series, you must read this book! Filled with daring heros, funny mole speech, amusing poems and songs, this is once more a masterpiece in Brian Jacques long line of terrific novels. When a band of evil foxes, excuse me, not just any foxes, but Marlfoxes, comes into the Mossflower woods, they alarmingly steal the tapestry that is so beloved to Redwall. A young hero imerges from the shadows to save the tapestry, the past, and the legend that is Redwall.

Summary: Lacks the Heart of Earlier Books
Review: Oh, "Marlfox" isn't a bad book, by any means. It's better that most fantasy currently out there. It just isn't quite as dynamic, quite as exciting, or quite as meaningful as some of the others in its series.Not for lack of effort, certainly. The series' defining feature by now is its ability to get large numbers of protagonists doing large numbers of things all at once. On occasion, it can pull it off very well. On other occasions, it can degenerate into confusion. And, I suppose, for the purpose of cutting down on that confusion, the characters in this book have a rather 'recycled' feel to them. The flippant, dandified hare, the quarrelsome Guosim shrew, the brave young warrior and his pretty sidekick, the fat friar (has there ever, ever, in all the history of Redwall, been a thin friar?)- all seem rather familiar. One begins to lose track of their names. The enigmatic rhymes so obligitory in each book are beginning to pall, as well. I figured out this particular specimen in three seconds, while the characters sat musing about it (and quested musing about it, and battled musing about it, and got in and out of deadly perils musing about it) for the better part of the book. The deadly perils, as well, seem a little lackluster. Again not for want of trying, but quantity is not the same as quality. And Redwall- poor Redwall, what does this make now, the ninth deadly peril it's faced from invading armies. One wonders how, once we get up to Matthias time, how the Abbot can call it 'peaceful' with a straight face. Also, Martin's sword, which has now been popping up quite regularly, has lost all its glamour of being an ancient and mysterious weapon. Martin himself seems even less solid than usual, and that's quite an accomplishment for a spirit.

Summary: A praise of Marlfox.
Review: Brian Jacques has created, yet again, another fantastic Redwall book. I think his plot and storyline was all around good. His ideas and descriptions were outstanding like all of his previous books. The only thing that could have been improved was the dangers the hero's encountered. I think it could have been more perilous but it was still okay. So, all in all, I think Marlfox was another great novel.

Summary: A good story, with a bad message. Pearls of Lutra best story
Review: This is a typical Redwall story (young heroes with Martin's sword, the last book's heroes as mentors, and all the weasels, stoats, ferrets, rats and foxes as the badguys!). Now, I love Brian's stories, but the thing about the "vermin" always being stupid, villainous, or just plain bad, really gets on my nerves! See, foxes are my favorite animals with weasel-types running a close second (and rats are not stupid!!!). I think that Brian sterio-types his "badguys" to work around the problem of having them be "people." I think that Jacques's writing with K.A.Applegate's morals would make for a better story.

Summary: FANTASTIC!
Review: I have read evrey single Redwall book in the series( yes even the poem one) and this is great. I dont say its the best because I think Martin the Warrior is the best, but anyway, THIS IS AN AWESOME BOOK. YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK. It has a really terrific plot, and I like the way it ties up with Salamandastron. I like that in all the Redwall books. They all connect in some way.

Summary: Marlfox is the best one yet!!!
Review: I have read all the books in the redwall series except Mariel of Redwall and the Bellmaker, but I think this one is the best! It's filled with action, adventure and suspence. I especially like Mokkan and Dannflor Reguba. This book is a must read!
