Summary: Kids fiction ala assembly line
Review: Considering the accolades given this book by Harry Potter fans desperate to tide themselves over between books, I am quite surprised at how mechanically this book reads - characters are shallow, everything is a move between plot points, and the villans who start off sounding so evil seem to be thier own worst enemy.Most frustrating of all is the fact that good ideas and great characters like Silent Sam and Asmodeoussss (very creepy) are squandered. One of my biggest complaints has to do with the way conflicts with the villans are resolved. In the interest of not giving away anthing to those who will enjoy this book, I will only say that my reaction to these resolutions was "What? That's it?". Ultimitely, this is geared for 13 year old boys who want "action, action, action". Jerry Bruckheimer if you wanted to make a kids film, this is your source material.

Summary: Sure,they're cute and fuzzy.But they're spiritual and armed.
Review: Tough to find anyone who can write animal-people fiction without sticking in some socio-political morality plays. This is a straightforward fantasy with plenty of noteworthy characters and memorable moments. Simply the sort of book you need to read to restore your faith in intelligent authors.

Summary: Redwall Review
Review: Long before the Harry Potter craze captured the public's imagination, Brian Jacques created the wonderful world of Mossflower and Redwall Abbey. Mix in a little of Lord of the Rings, a lot of Watership Down, and you have perhaps the greatest fantasy series in print today. For children and adults alike!

Summary: Amazing Author
Review: I read this book about a year ago and a have since then read 5 more (and planning on reading the rest). Jacques has an amazing imagination which I am sure is capable of anything. The wonderful poems, rhyms, songs, and riddles add an amazing sense of reality. The characters are colorful and heroic. He mixes every genre of literature perfectly. Every time I read one of his books, I start drooling at all the delicious sounding food that no Redwall book would be complete without and I can't put the book down for all the exitment of a laid back life and the commotion of battle. Humor also plays an important role in his books, I am amazed every time. I could go on and on, but they have a 1,000 word maximum and I want this review to be posted so I'll just say this, BUY IT AND FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF!

Summary: One of the best books to read
Review: This book Red wall by Brian Jacques was a book about a mouse named Mathias. It was a touching story with evil villians as well as the good guys. When a bunch of rats threaten a group of friendly out going mice as well as other woodland creatures a battle begins. The woodland creatures fight a army of rats to defend their homes while Mathias tries to find the lost sword of Martin the warrior. It is truly a great book to read. Once you start reading you almost don't want to stop.

Summary: A horrible book
Review: I thought that this was a bad book because i think it was very boring and it only made sense towards the end. So that book was the worst book that I have ever read in my life. I think it kept saying the same thing over and over. There was one good part in that book it was the last page when the action finally got started. So I would not recommend this book unless you like mice killing books.

Summary: Redwall
Review: Set in a medieval backdrop, animals take the place of people in this fictional tale of pirates, heros and quests. Though there are many characters in the story which can make this story quite difficult to follow, the main character Matthias is the one that most sticks out in my mind. Though he is a mouse he acts with human qualities showing fear, intimidation as well as emotion throughout the story. The characters replicate human qualities so well that the reader can hardly tell that they even are animals. The plot was very complex to understand and was difficult to follow. The true challenge of understadning the dialect as well as what was going on throughout the story.Despite the constant plot twists and turns the characters Matthias, Cluny as well as Abbot Mortimer made for delightful creatures which greatly enhanced the story to its fullness. Redwall was full of colorful characters as well as good content.I enjoyed the story because of the way the author makes every creature an indiviual in their own right which made them so much more real to the reader. Redwall makes it archtypes and other mythical stories rank high on book review charts.I found that though some parts were dull and not very substantial to the storyline I also found that there emotions that they express makes up for the lack of bordem in the novel. Though a few points were made to be recognized the story makes us think of who we are and how well we can relate ourselves to the actual woodland creatures of Redwall.

Summary: Brian Jacques creates a wonderful 5 star masterpiece.
Review: As the Redwall creaturs enter the Summer of the Late Rose, they are unaware that the evil Cluny the Scourge is lurking nearby. But not for long! Cluny soon starts a war to take over Redwall. Now their only hope is in a young mouse named Matthias. He is searching for the sword of Martin the Warrior... The more you read this book, the more you become involved in it. After a certain point, you just can't put it down. It's one of the best books I've read, and sience I've read it, I've become completly hooked on the Redwall books. I just know you'll enjoy it, too.

Summary: A rockiling adventure -- the plot is missing logic
Review: This is actually the first book I've read in a long time where I could not put it down. Brian Jacques is an excellent story-teller which makes his books perfect for teens (and many adults). Brian Jacques is among the few authors who suceeded in integrating human characteristics into animal figures keeping the reader believing that they are really animals. The characters are well-developed and their adventures are grand and will keep the reader highly interested. The book's flaw (which is forgivable) is that the adventure to this book doesn't seem to have a logic to it making it seem artificial. Young Matthias goes on a lot of heroic journeys, but his character is too perfect and there is no transition between Matthias' childhood years and his days of heroism. But that's okay --I loved the book! Jacques improves on his prequel to this novel --Mossflower!
