Summary: Redwall
Review: Have you ever been in a situation were you are making a celebration of a year of peace, and all of a sudden a mean person or in the case of this story named 'Red Wall' by Brian Jacques a mean black 'Rat'
Matthias one of the main characters in the story has gathered to celebrate a year of peace and abundance. Cluny the Scourge one of the mean characters in this exciting story tries to beat Matthias. Cluny the Scourge use to live in the alley were Matthias lives now . I've read this book once and I really didn't
Like it at all even though in some parts it was really exciting .

To read this book and to really understand it you have to be an advanced reader ,and a big book lover ,because this book is 333 pages long. My partners kind of like this story but for sure I didn't. If you are a curious person and you want to know what happens to Cluny at the end and Matthias read the book but I really don't recommended.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My kid loves this series
Review: My 3rd grade boy wanted to read this book, but I thought it would be too difficult for him, but he started it anyway. He has been loving it. He is usually rushing home from school to do more reading. I plan to get him additional books in the series for his birthday. I have also read the book and think it is a delightful adventure that boys and girls will love. It has a clear meaning of good and evil with virtues that you want to instill in your children. This would also make a great read-aloud book for parents to read with their children. I highly recommend it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Read it aloud to the family
Review: Our family read the book aloud. We started with my wife reading it on trips to keep our 3 kids entertained. We all were hooked so that our whole family get a dose at bedtime.

In fact, we finished the book while on a trip and we stopped in the very next town to buy another in the series so that we could keep up the fun.

READ this to your family!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I Couldn't Put it Down!!!
Review: This is a really great book. I almost didn't read it because I didn't have anything else to read. But, man, am I glad that I picked up this book. I strongly suggest that you pick up this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: REDWALL RULES THE WORLD
Review: My book is called Redwall. The authors name is Brian Jacques. He has wroten many books that are in the Redwall series. I would have to say that the genra of the book would be young adult- mystery. The book is about a mouse named Mathhias, and his whole goal is to find the sword of Martin the Warrior. He finds it, and succeds in saving his city, which is called Redwall. Also in the end he ends up killing Cluny the Scorage. Which is the main bad guy in the book. The book is much like the Hobbit series. With much action and many fighting sceens. So if you like the Hobbit, you would probably like Redwall, or vice versa. I loved this book and i think that most kids my age would also. If you like playing RPG's on the nintendo or watching adventurous movies and hate reading books like me. I garuntee you will still love this book. I loved the main character because he was always trying. He ws relentless always think up more ideas to find the sword or kill Cluny. I was also moved by how he accomplished all of it when he was only about my age. One of my fav. quotes in the book was when he said, "They're coming, down the road! I can see them. I can see them!" p. 48. this was when the church mouse and everyone else were waiting for the rats to come and this was one of the final battles between the two groups of rodents. When i read it i knew that this battle was going to be good, and it also left me hanging because it is right at the end of a chapter. Almost ever aspect of this book is good. It has action for some people, a little romance, and a whole lot of mystery. The only draw back of the book is that if you are to young then this book would be hard to read, or it might not be that interesting. Also if you were a little older than me it wouldn't be that interesting either. But if your my age give it a try!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great Book
Review: Redwall is probably the best book I've ever read. It takes you to a world of animals with the good against evil. You can just imagine the characters. Read this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Adventure Series I Will Ever Know!!!!
Review: Being the first book of the series (although not chronologically), this book is not as good as the others in the series, but I would still give it 6 stars if I could! Brian Jacques seems to be discovering his new world for himself just as he introduces it to the reader. His books combine friendship, fun, happiness, anger, hope, and everything else into one adventure story. His talent in being able to do this without losing the reader -ever- is truly astounding!!!
In this unique book, a young, somewhat awkward mouse named Matthias learns how to be a true warrior and, through riddles and mysteries, finds that he is to take the place of the legendary founder and warrior of Redwall Abbey. With the help of his friends, he pursues his true destiny.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A classic tale anyone can enjoy!
Review: Redwall is a spectacular book. It tells about the warrior mouse name Matthias who has to protect the Redwall Abbey from a vicous band of rats and weasels. Every character is filled with detail and fun.
The book unfolds in a way that lets you read what is happening to more than one party at the same time. It will keep you on the edge of you seat wondering what will happen next.
The story has plenty of twists, turns, sub characters, and songs. At times, it will fill you with laughter and sorrow. You don't want to miss this!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Wonderment of Redwall
Review: This is a true literary masterpiece. It has all the elements that a book needs. The storyline is both complex and engrossing, to provide the readers with hours of enjoyment. Even though the book is long, the storyline never gets monotonous. The characters are well developed and all of them have a different, colorful personality. The dialogue is both witty, and adds a lot to the book. Redwall is the perfect book for any fantasy (maybe even animal) lover!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Slightly disappointed
Review: Judging the book by its cover, I thought Brian Jaques work would be an intelligent flight of the imagination. What I found instead was a book that seemed to read more like a cartoon movie and borrow plots from countless other works before his. The language at times was so simple and fractured that I couldn't believe it got past the editor's nose, and at other times the sentences were so packed with difficult vocabulary words I can only imagine the frustration of a young reader who would have to keep stopping midsentence to seek out an adult or look to a dictionary to make a what was just read coherent. By all means, I am in favor of stretching a child's vocabulary, but to write a child's book in total disregard of the language of an average child?
I also found several passages confusing, such as a mistakes in referencing the evil ferret as a "her" in some places and a "he" in others.
I must admit, though, that something pulled me through to the end, and it was a good outline for a story. I guess I'm just disappointed with the end result.
