Summary: A Must Read
Review: This ranks as one of my favorite books. I had read about the series in a NY Times article & was interested. Then I saw it on display at a bookstore, & decided to read it. I couldn't stop turning the pages. The characters are very well written & interesting. Brian Jacques makes you care about all the characters. He has created a facinating world & I'm glad I had the opportunity to enter it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Those Jerks...
Review: Don't you just hate those jerks who say this is almost the best series ever? God, it is the BEST! From d&d-like fantasy-fiction, to the heart-breaking drama of the deathes of the innocent, this qualifies on my list as THE best!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: For children, yet not childish
Review: I read this to my children and loved it as much as they did! Not many books can manage to be appropriate for kids, without speaking down to them. The storyline is full and interesting. The characters are fully drawn and engaging. Even the 'evil' characters have personalities. Fantastic for kids of any age!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: THIS IS A GOOD BOOK FOR FANTASY READING!
Review: This book is just a starter book if you ask me. I like all of the books I have read in the collection (which are very hard to beat) better than REDWALL. If you like this book, I highly advise THE GOLLDEN COMPASS, my favorite book. Overall, the ending came to an abrubt stop, and that's what made me give it a four.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Simply Amazing
Review: This is a wonderful book, if you like fantasy or you just love a beautiful piece of literature you should read it. I was referred to it by a lady at school and when I first picked it up it was reminiscent of "The Secret of Nimh" (not sure how to spell the last word, it's been awhile) which I had read as a young child and loved. It was even better! Longer, better written, well crafted characters (no Charles Darnay but he writes well, so they're very compelling), and then a plot I took a liking too. Who would have guessed it was part of a series, which I read in about a year. The whole series is great, but read them in order, either chronologically or when they were written. This probably wasn't the best in the series (I highly reccomend Legend of Luke and Mossflower too) but it's still beautiful. Brian Jacques has beautiful writing, just see for yourself.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: For a reluctant reader.
Review: Sometimes finding books that 7th and 8th graders will enjoy is a daunting task, but here you have a book and a series that these kids love.

I am impressed by the quality of the characters and the plot. I am impressed with the detailed descriptions of the settings in and around Redwall Abbey. I am impressed by the page turning qualities of the plot. I am impressed that even my most reluctant readers are able to get into the story of Redwall and the creatures that abide there. Matthias is a wonderful hero, and Cluny the Scourge is a dastardly villlian, you will love and hate them respectively. All of the supporting characters add to the story and move it along nicely. You'll love the twists and turns of the story of Matthias finding his place in life, his destiny.

Brian Jacques is a wonderful story teller and has mastered the art of writing for the imagination.

I recommend this book highly. I enjoyed it, my students enjoyed it, you will enjoy it.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best of all of them
Review: Redwall was the first one in this series I read and is still one of my favorites. If you've read them all ten times each, as i have, you start seeing differences in the settings and the characters of the books. In Redwall, the brothers and sisters stress the peaceable nature of mice, which seems to disappear in the other books. There is also a hint of human activity in this one and of the dangers of Mossflower Wood, which is also not depicted in the other books. The setting and plot of Redwall is so pristine and the story is such a classic Medieval story of good and evil, right and wrong, that this is a great read. The special edition hardcover is also great because of the illustrated plates within the pages.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Read!
Review: I read this book and i must say that it s one of the best books i have ever read. It is good for kids ages 8-14, which is good since that is about the time when kids stop finding fun in reading. Redwall has everything from faced-paced excitement to romance to a certain mystery element. I would recomend it to everyone who can read. I think it deserves a newbery award.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Redwall series
Review: I am 12 years old and have read 10 out of 13 books in this series. I rate these books immensely high because they are super books and are excellent read-aloud books. They are splendid adventure stories in a world where humans are nonexistent. These books are great!
