Summary: This Book Rocks!!!!!!!!
Review: I just read this book. I really, really enjoyed it. It's one of the best books I've read. It's full of action and adventure.I especially like the battle at the very end. Redwall is about an order of talking mice who are devoted to peace, and giving assistance to the sick, injured, and impoverished. But now Cluny, the horrible one-eyed rat with his battle seasoned horde,is attemting to invade Redwall Abbey, the stone abode of the peaceful mice. Now there sole hope is Matthias, the young bumbling mouse who has embarked on a quest to find the legendary sword of Martin the Warrior and save Redwall. I highly reccomend this book. I'm going to read all the sequels.

Summary: Redwall
Review: Life in Redwall is very peaceful. All visitors are accepted and cared for. No little animal in Redwall is hungry and everyone does their share of work. Redwall has never seen war since their founder, a warriormouse named Martin, had past away. Without knowing how to fight made the town of Redwall very vulnerable even with its towering walls and fearsome history. An evil rat and his infamous army seem to like the looks of Redwall and their treasure. After the mice of Redwall hear of the evil rat they start to form a full army of their own, but with no training Redwall is soon attacked and many Redwallers are injured. Soon, learning the ways of raw war, Redwallers start to become a worthy enemy. Meanwhile a young mouse named Matthias begins a search for the prized sword of Martin. I loved this book like I love any of Brian Jacques' books. It had an excellent plot that went in two directions. The end of every chapter left me wanting so much more. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a long and excellent book but won't mind some slow parts.

Summary: Redwall: A Classic
Review: Redwall, by Brian Jacques, is a classic book about the journey innocence to maturity. The story is about the protagonist Matthias trying to prove himself to be a responsible mouse. He ends up having to defeat the antagonist Cluny the Scourge in a one-on-one battle to the death in the final chapters. In the book, there are many mini-adventures that Matthias goes through. An example of one is when Matthias was taking the churchmice back to their home, the church. This is when he has his first encounter with Cluny and his horde. All of these adventures ingeniously lead up to the final conflict. This book has a great deal of strengths that keep the reader interested. One of the more inconspicuous ones is how Jacques has made-up different speech personalities for each animal type. I especially enjoyed the moles' speech, where they seemed a bit illiterate. This led to a sort off "playfulness" into the story, thus making it more enjoyable. Another strength of this book is how Jacques made it seems as if the reader were just standing in the story, watching. Even though this is done on most books, I felt that the author did it better than the others. Of course, no book is perfect, and Redwall isn't an exception. One thing that bothered me was how the book kept changing views. In the first chapter, it tells how things are going at Redwall Abbey, then in Chapter 2, it switches views to Cluny's horde. The book kept doing this for well over half the book, which could have annoyed some readers, as it did to me. Also, there were a lot of quotations in the book, but the author may have done this to keep the reader interested with the book. Redwall is a intriguing story and will be enjoyed by readers for many years to come. Although this book does have some gore and violence, this book has no disturbing morals and would be a good read for a child to teenage audience who enjoy fantasy or adventure stories. The book may also be appealing to anyone who would enjoy a fairly amusing fiction that would keep them reading for hours.

Summary: A FANTASTIC BOOK!
Review: I first saw this book on a web site that linked to Amazon.com. I clicked on the book, and came... well.. here! I read the reviews and almost everyone said it was a great book, so I bought it! Once I started it, I could not put it down! It's about a mouse on a quest to find the legendery sword of his heroic idle, while helping to deffend his land from evil rats. At first I was skeptical about getting it because a lot of people said it was like the Hobbit, which I didn't enjoy. But I really loved it and thought it was a great book!

Summary: The Redwall Series Kicks Every Other Of The Charts
Review: The first time I picked up this book to read it, I didn't even think of putting it down, and when finished it, it was about 2 days later. This is the best book series I have ever written, it's even better than "The Hobbit", and "The Lost Years of Merlin". In Fact, after reading it, I imediately went out and bought all the others in the series, and have been a dedicated fan ever since. I must have read the series at least two dozen times. It even inspired me to make a website on the topic..., and even start my own series. As Brian jacques will be producing another in the series every year, I hope he lives forever.

Summary: The best fantasy saga for pre-teens.
Review: When a child has outgrown the childhood classics from Disney, this is the place where parents can continue their reading. The recommended ages of 9 to 12 are excellent, as the level of reading comprehension is perfect for the simple, yet magical tales of Redwall Abbey. The stories themselves are of course, simplistic. The characters are archetypical; good and evil, rogues and warriors, cowards and courageous heroes. There is always a happy ending and the obstacles in the heroes' way are not too frightening or depressing. The setting is well designed and imaginative, retaining the talking-animal attraction of earlier childhood fantasies. There is no better fantasy for the pre-teen crowd. Once a child gets to about 13, however, they are much too old to start. Some might continue to read well past that age, but none will want to start to read what they consider "kiddy stories".

Summary: "Good, well-plotted tale..."
Review: In the first Redwall book in the series, Brian Jacques quickly captures the reader's interest by mutualy describing the different personalities of all the characters in the book. There is not a single human mentioned in the book, and it makes you imagine what a whole world without people could be like. This gripping novel about creatures with a lifestlyle very diffrent from ours is sometimes the sort of book that makes you wish you lived in the animals' world, and and had the courage and bravery to deal with the hardships they deal with. This story of fantasy and dreaming, yet realistic and beleivable occurences makes the reader think that just about anything is possible. Bravo to Brian Jacques!
