The Legend of Luke (Redwall, Book 12)

Summary: Great book!
Review: I really liked this book. Trimp the Rover hedgehog goes to Redwall Abbey. It's under construction. She helps build by singing a hauling shanty about Martin's father, Luke. Martin becomes depressed, so Gonff, Dinny, and Trimp take him on an adventure.
My favorite part is the song about Saint Ninian's.

Summary: The Legend of Luke, a Legend among books
Review: I think that one who loves the Redwall series, and those who have not heard of it, should read The Legend of Luke. The Legendof Luke is the best book I have read in a long time. It combines action, fantasy, and adveture into the plot, which makes it a H.T.P.D book (or a Hard To Put Down book). It has all the elements of a great, and in my opinion deserves an award. This book is a prelude to the other Redwall books. It has awesome characters which feel so real that when you hear the door-bell ring you expect Martin, the warrior mouse, to walk in the room and do his dangerous "Sword Dance". There was never a dull moment in The Legend of Luke. I thought that some parts of the book were so good I had to reread them, so I could experience the thrill again. The plot is one of the best parts of this book. If the auther were not Brian Jacques I would wonder how he thought of it. It stars Martin, a warrior mouse, who wants to find his father, Luke. Some of his friends from Redwall abbey decide to help him. On the way to Martin's old home they pick up some new and intresting characters, which include a plump baby squirrel and a cannibal otter. If you want to knw if they succeed in their quest get this book! Overall I loved The Legend of Luke. I think this is the best Redwall book yet. If I had to point out a problem in this book I would say that the climax gets so intense that I wanted to flip ahead and see what happens. If you are looking for a book packed with fun and adventure, then The Legend of Luke is for you.

Summary: Newest Redwall Novel a legend in the making
Review: The Legend of Luke by Brian Jacques

On a misty summer morning, a stranger arrives at the Redwall Abbey. However, as soon as Trimp the Hedgehog enters the Abbey, she immediately causes a commotion. As she works in the fields, she sings the song of her homeland, little does she know she sings of Luke the Warrior, father of the Redwall hero Martin. Martin, having never known his warrior father, is filled with curiosity and wonder. He must know more, and eventually he, Gonff the prince of mouse thieves, and Trimp, travel to the North shores to uncover the secret of Luke the Warrior. Little do they know what legend they will uncover.

In this thrilling saga of the Redwall Series ( It takes place chronologically after Mossflower and before Redwall ), Brian Jacques once again mixes animal life into a medieval fairy tale. He descriptively paints a tapestry into your mind to make you feel every as if you were actually there. He holds you in suspense and wonder until it's over.

In my personal opinion I enjoyed the book. After a slow start, it immediately picks up. The vivid description lets you use your imagination to no end. The battle strategy and plot was astounding, and the character development was terrific. I recommend this book to everyone who enjoys adventure, and anyone who has an imagination.

Summary: Awesome! Truly AWESOME!
Review: This book is a must-read! It's about how Martin travels to the northlands to find out what happened to his father, Luke the Warrior.

Vilu Daskar is not a very nice stoat! He abused his crew, once having some of them whipped then doused in salt water. Ouch!

Luke is always after Daskar in his tiny vessel, the Sayna, named after Martin's mother. Beau the hare is so funny, his whole crew is. This book is filled with the usual action, adventure, and sadness that is in all the other Redwall books. It has a very sad ending. Sad, but extremely heroic. To those of you that have read it, you know what I mean! And Ranguvar Foeseeker the squirrel warrior, whoa... she's cool! She's one of the most savage warriors in the whole series!

You learn lots of secrets too, like about how Saint Ninian's was built, how the tapestry was made, and all that stuff!

Summary: It deserved more than five stars!
Review: This is one of the best Redwall books. My favorite is Mossflower, but still, how could anyone not love a book with Martin the Warrior, Dinny, Gonff, plus his son Baby Gonflet, who is nearly as funny as his father. I was a bit disapointed that Martin became an abbeymouse,I guess because I never thought of Martin as a peacful abbeydweller, and never thought that he was the sort who would become one. Still, it was a very good book and I loved it! I had wondered for a long time what had become of Martin's dad and this answered my questions. While some people didn't like the fact that only one section was about Luke, I don't mind,because one section was all that was needed. I am not going to say much more about the story itself,as I do not want to give it away. I highly reccomend this book to any Redwall fan, and while it is good as the 12th book, it is just as good when it is read as the first, and it is a good book for anyone new to the series. It was a great book. I wish there were more than five stars, because it deserves a lot more than that!

Summary: A swash buclikng good tale
Review: This is the 12 book in the red wal series. It is the prequel and sequel to mossflower. In legend of Luke Martin the Warrior, Gonf and Young Dinny go on a quest to find out what happens to martins fateher luke.

In it we learn that luke Died shortly after kiling the Vile Dark star a vile vermin corsair who murder his wife. For those of you who read Martin the Warrior you know what becomes of Martin after his father leaves him behind.

Log a log is back so is delight ful Fedd and Cogs sweet old Bell of Brochhall is back to. If you like this book I also recomennd Mossflower and Martin the Warrior for the are the only other books that martin is in that is a Major character. Tell redwall encyloped that there source of books that Martin is in accurate. Sir he is dead and nimare character in the other but he should still be on the list.

Summary: Live the tale or read the story
Review: This Redwall book was different from the rest. A big chunk of the story is a tale being told. Also there is no regular villan to fight. This is one of the better Redwall books because it has less fighting but more action and suspense. I especially liked when they first met Folgrim. He looked weak but he killed two rats in the blink of an eye.
The book started with Martin living at Redwall. He takes a trip to the North shore. He leaves with some close friends. They find a band of weasels that are going to cook a squirrel. Once they free the squirrel, they find out his name is Chugger. His grandmother died one day so he went out on his own. They soon find shrews and an otter name Folgrim. Once at North shore, they take a ship to the tall rocks. There they find part of Luke's crew. One tells the story about Luke.
You must read Martin the warrior first. This was another great book from Brian Jaques and an awesome book from Redwall.
