Summary: A true beginning of an epoch
Review: There are very few series, literary or not, that one should devote a good deal of ones time too. These are the Star Wars Trilogy, the Indiana Jones Trilogy, Lord of the Rings, this new Harry Potter deal looks promising, and finally the entire Redwall series to date. Never before have I seen such an interesting and promising premise behind a novel, and never have I seen a series of books more original, addicting, and thought provoking as these. And Redwall is the beginning of it all. I had Redwall read to me when I was younger, and I found it so interesting that I could identify better with a freaking mouse than with any other novel character I had ever read, or heard before. Jacques style is not hampered by a "target audience," nor do I feel he writes with one in mind, this is why for many years I have continued to read and enjoy the series, and I am guessing I will continue to read the Redwall series either until Jacques stops writing them, or my eyes fall out. Whichever comes first.

Summary: Up early, to bed late
Review: I should probably be reading a little more advanced than this, seeing that I'm thirteen, but I couldn't resist. Although it's first in the series, I read it second, but I enjoyed it just as much. The characters are so funny, and the story is well written. Jacques' style really comes out in his books, this book especially. Charming, this is a story that includes amazing friendships during the hardships of war. The beauty lies in the plot development, showing how true fantasy should be written. I enjoyed the different characters and trying to realate all of the peronalities to my life and people I know. I was really excited when I read this book, and I got up early in the morning and went to bed late, reading as fast as I could in those brief hours before I had to start doing the days things or get to sleep. I'm not embarrassed to say I enjoyed it. Through out the sad parts and the glorious parts, the parts where certain characters showed really bravery (like Matthais, my favorite), and the parts where I just wanted to jump in and help, I felt like a proud parent (in a good way I mean), or rather an amazed bystander, watching as the characters grew to have more meaning. I really appreciate all of the work that Mr. Jacques put into writting these, and I know I will continue to enjoy it repeatedly.

After sparrow tells Matthias where the sword can be found he goes through Mossflower wood to find the quarell of Asmodeusss. This book all in all is a great read. Read this book you will definitley enjoy it.

Summary: The Original Redwall
Review: This book is a legend of fantasy. It is the starting point for one of the greatest series ever, the point where new and old readers always return to. A book overflowing with fun, wit, riddles, old friends, and adventure never seen since the tales of King Arthur, Redwall never fails to delight again and again. The quest is dangerous, the characters courageous, and the feasts suberb! Return to the brave battles of good against evil, where good must triumph but evil is always lurking. A book for anywhere, anytime, anyone, Redwall will draw you into a world of wonder.

Summary: Stunningly Exlcelent Book!
Review: This book is really great. It is very suspensful and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I didn't want to put down the book once I started it! The plot is very clever too. The heroes act as heroes should (bold, unselfish, hardworking) and the bad guys act as bad guys should (evil, cunning, selfish). This is really a great book if you love good vs. evil, medival weapons, and bold self- sacrifices. Two thumbs way, way up for this book!

Summary: The original!
Review: This is a good book for just about everyone. It's one of the best in the Redwall series, too, basically about Matthias who must save Redwall Abbey from the evil Cluny the Scourge. If you're looking for an exciting adventure book... read this!

Summary: Redwall is a masterpiece
Review: I started reading the Redwall books when I was 12 (I'm now 19 and in the U.S. Navy) and I still find myself reading each one over and over again. There's something mystical about Jacques' work. The way he describes things in his stories are simple yet greatly detailed- the way he describes the feasts, the colour of the different dialects. He is a truly great author and his work keeps getting better and better; thought I must say, Redwall will always be the greatest. I will pass these books on to my children to read (that is, if they can tear me away from them!) and will continue to read them myself for I just cannot get over the beauty of these tales. I cannot find words to describe them.

Summary: The best book I have ever read!
Review: Brian Jacque's Redwall is an amazing book. I am pretty big into reading and this is by far the most rich and vivid story i have ever read. The plot is truly incredible and introduces the reader to some of the most heroic and vile charachters to ever be found in a story. I am new to this series and this is the only one I have read so far. I hope that all of the tales of Redwall will be as remarkable as this one.

Summary: If you don't read this book, you're crazy!
Review: I remember almost 5 years ago when I caught sight of a friend of mine reading a book called Redwall. I looked at it suspecially, why would my freind want to read a book with a mouse on the cover? (In the past the only fantasy I had been showed was the Narnia stories) I asked her and she told me it was one of the best books she had ever read. So of course I was intrigued and bought it myself. I was immeaditally opened up to a whole new world where animals could talk and laugh and cry and fight. This book tells the story of Redwall. It's a peacful Abbey ever since the brave Martin the Warrior banished away all the vermin. But when the legendary Cluny the Scourge acctacks, it's up to the mice to fight against them. And then there's Matthias, a strong willed mouse. Will he be the mouse to lead them to victory? And can he solve Martin the Warrior's riddle in time? Read the book I guarentee that you will enjoy it.
