Summary: Jolly good!
Review: I love the Redwall series, and I mean that I love every book in it. This one, however, is my favorite. I think that the hares are my favorite group of characaters in Jacques' books and since this book centered around the elite fighting unit known as The Long Patrol, it makes sense that this is my favorite. You can't help but fall in love with Tammo and Russa as they make their way to Redwall and it's famed fare. And Damug Warfang is one of those villains that you just love to hate. Redwall fan or not, this book is totally great!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The first I read and still the best
Review: I read this book when I was in fifth grade and I am now a junior in high school. This was the first Redwall book I read and it is still the best, by far.
Why Read this?
Reason's to read are because the characters are realistic, I could relate to them, most readers will be able to. I also thought that the 'Rapscallion' were pretty cool. The stroyline was the traditional redwall quest, bad guy, final battle to save the people of redwall sort of thing. He also puts a bit of history in the backround to give the book more spice. There are no reasons not to read this, its a great stroy about a young hare trying to make his mark in the Long Patrol.
Great job Master Jacques!

Summary: Eulaliaaaaaaaaa! Brian Jaques does it again.
Review: In this, another installment in the beloved Redwall series, readers have found a true gem of a book. Full of vivid characters, luscious foods, and amazing scenes, Brian Jaques has made another masterpiece. I am a huge Redwall fan. I own all the books. It is hard to choose a favorite. The Long Patrol is definitely up there. How can anyone help but love the bally ol' hares, wot wot! Cregga Rose Eyes is without a doubt my favorite character in the series. Her ferocity surprised me and she is a strong female character. Only Jaques could spin such a good story, with such good characters. Critics will probably ravage this book for the usual sins- the plots are all the same, the characters are too perfect. I must admit, the bad guys are evil, and the good guys are good. What do you expect? This is an excellent fantasy, and if you read the book and enjoy fantasy, you will find that this fact does not matter. The characters still seem almost as if you know them. Also, the plot is unlike any of the others in the Redwall books. If you are looking for an enjoyable peace of fantasy fiction that includes vivid details, excellent characters, and engaging action and plots, you should read The Long Patrol.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great book!
Review: Tamello De Fformello Tussock (Tammo for short) dreams of joining the famous Long Patrol, a group of hares who protect the land and their mountain, Salamandastron.Unfortunately, he continues to get into trouble and his father completely forbids Tammo in letting him join the Long Patrol. Tammo, with the help of his mother, runs away to Salamandastron to become one of the Long Patrol with a squirrel traveler whose name is Russa Nodrey.

Soon, they get ambushed by a group of Rapscallions, an evil bunch of rats and Russa and Tammo are captured. They are rescued by 11 Long Patrol hares.Together, they pursue the Rapscallions to Redwall.

Meanwhile, another stronger and bigger group of Rapscallions are attaking Redwall. Their leader is Damug. The 11 Long Patrol hares are hopelessly outnumbered and the peaceful Redwall creatures does not have much warrior animals.

Will they get any help from the ruler or Salamandastron who is Lady Cregga Rose Eyes and her hares? Will Redwall be captured by Rapscallions?

This book was great! I loved it from the start, though I think one part wasn't necessary. If you like this, you'll love "Lord Brocktree"!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Long Patrol Rules
Review: Tammo is a young hare who has ambitions to join the regal ranks of the Long Patrol, a battalion who defends the area from thieves and bandits. One of these bandits is Damug Warfang, leader of the Rapscallions, and almighty enemy of the leader of the Long Patrol, Cregga Rose Eyes. Unknowingly, the combined efforts of these two characters is the only way to defeat the massive force of the evil Rapscallions, but what sacrifices must be made to achieve this goal?

Once again Brian Jacques shows his writing skills with a addititon to his great Redwall series. The Long Patrol is a awesome novel which places animals in the roles of people, but still consumes you in a heart felt and powerful story. With humor, drama, and love, The Long Patrol can set its place as a classic novel in the heart of all its readers. This book will entertain you in all aspects and keep you occupied for hours. If your up for a good book, this is a good one.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Move over Watership down
Review: This action pack book is the squeel to Mattimeo and Pearls of Lutra and Red Wall. A young rabit runs away from home to join the Long Patrol. They engage in epic battles aganist the evil Raspcallian army. The main villian is not as well protrayed as the others were.

Your favorite charactes such as the Guosim return. No abbey warrior in this one that has a large roll. Martin of Redwall is now dead. Rollo is no longer the recorder.

A good with lots of swash buckling. I you like adventure I suggest you read this and the other 15 books in the series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My Favorite One!
Review: This book is about a hare named Tammo. He wanted to be in a group of highly praised hares called the Long Patrol. The long patrol is a bunch of skilled hares that defend a huge mountain called Salamandastron; this is also where they live. A squirrel named Russa Nordry is taking Tammo to be in the Long Patrol. He gets with the Long Patrol and there is only a small group of them. They are going to Redwall abbey to help them from the big army come to the abbey. The abbey is full of peace-loving creatures such as; mice otters, and moles. Before the war the abbey has gone through problems. To find out more and what happens to Redwall, read the book.
Some things I liked about the book were that it had a lot of action and action and suspense throughout the whole book, especially at the last battle at the end of the book. Many events take place during it making it a very suspenseful book. There is many more things I liked about this book, but I can't tell you all of them.
Some bad things about the book are: it's only a type of book for people who like war. It also took a long time to pick up. There was barely any action at first, but when it picked up it got really good.
This is a good book and I recommend it to people who like suspense, war, and action.
