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.

Summary: Author Study
Review: ¡§The quality of writing, the rich cast of characters, the detailed accounts of medieval welfare, and Jacques¡¦ ability to tell a good story and make readers think all earn Redwall a place on library shelves¡¨ ¡V School Library Journal. I agree with this quote, and I would like to add that Brian Jacques is a very accomplished author. Even though the Redwall series¡¦ books have the same plot for just about every book, in my opinion they don¡¦t get boring due to the fact that Brian Jacques changes the characters every book and the plot has small twists, like multiple stories going on at the same time. Brian Jacques has written a book that has nothing to do with the Redwall series, called Castaways of the Flying Dutchman.

„Y Born on June 15, 1939
„Y Two sons: Mark and David, his dog, Teddy, his wife Liz, granddaughters Jade and Hannah, brothers Jimmy and Tony.
„Y Went to St. John's School
„Y Redwall wasn¡¦t intended to be a book. Brian Jacques told the story to children at Royal Wavertree School for the Blind, and his friend and former English teacher, Alan Durband sent it to a publisher.
„Y Likes to write outside in his garden in the spring, in a conservatory when it¡¦s raining.
„Y Writes fantasy stories. Most famous books: Redwall, Mossflower, Mattimeo, Castaways of the Flying Dutchman, and Triss.
Brian Jacques has won a couple small awards for individual books ¡V such as a Children¡¦s Book-of-the-Month club main selection for Martin the Warrior, Salamandastron, Mossflower, and Redwall have won the Lancashire Libraries Children's Book of the Year Award. Redwall, Mossflower, and Mattimeo have won the Western Australian Young Readers' Award.

I chose this author because the Redwall series is my favorite series, and because I did not know much about Brian Jacques. ¡§In Redwall, a hero can be a mouse or a shrew. He can be scared, he can get hurt, he can die. People don't have to look up to him to be saved, they look to him to fight with them. They look to him because he's smart, because he's willing to pay the price. He's committed to his cause. They look to him because he is like them. He knows what's right and knows it has to be done. He'll do it or die trying. Kids learn from these stories that sometimes the characters do die. It might be their favorite character, even. They learn that heroism doesn't come easy and does not come without a cost.¡¨ This quote was from a biography on the Internet, and I thought it was very fitting for the series. A quote from the same website I thought was funny was, ¡§I suppose there's a child inside me who wants to get out. A little baldy child with a beard. Ha!¡¨ In conclusion, Brian Jacques is an outstanding children¡¦s author with a lot of accomplishments.

Summary: One of the best books I've ever read.
Review: This book was really, really, really good. The writing is fun and exciting. If you like Harry Potter you'll love this. The only people that wouldn't like this would probably be those that don't like mice or badgers and other woodland inhabitants.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing
Review: Exciting adventure. If you like "The Lord of the Ringss" you will like this. It's the best book I have ever read! War! War! War!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful Animal Fantasy!!
Review: This book harkens back to chilhood fairy-tales and fables. The characters are humanly realistic and charming. Every bit of this story captivates and fascinates. I would highly recommend this book to young avid readers with an interest in fantasy, or anyone else simply looking for a good, fun read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An amazing book!
Review: I was assigned this book for a school reading club, and started reading it without high expectations. I was proven wrong! I couldn't put this book down. The story of Redwall and it's creatures is truly wonderful. This book is about their fight against Cluny the Scourge, who tries to overtake Redwall, and the young Matthias mouse, who is on a quest to restore Martin the Warrior's sword to the Abbey. This book is definatly worth the read!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: And the story begins!
Review: This has got to be the best series of books ever written. While this book is excellent, the stories only get better. Each book is better than the last.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A good book too!!:)
Review: This book is also one of my favorite books.
The main character is Matthias, a strong warrior mouse. The enemy in this book is Cluny the Scourge, an one eye rat who comes to Redwall and attacks. Matthias meanwhile is held prisoner by the Sparra King, when two sparrows help Matthias escape. Matthias drowns the Sparra King, then goes on a mission to get Martin the Warrior's sword from the deadly snake...but first he must get help from an owl. He goes to the owl and the owl tells him that the snake has the sword and with one bite from the snake, a mouse can die. Matthias then bravely goes to the snake's den and gets the sword, when suddenly the snake appears. Matthias kills the snake, escapes, and returns to the Redwall Abbey where there is war.
This book is very, very fun, and very, very exciting, and I think that this is the best Redwall book I have read!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Boreing
Review: I read the first page and got bored. Why is everyone saying this is GREAT? It's HORRIBLE. Of course I only read the first page. But, it didn't make sense what was going on! Boring.
