Summary: Redwall, the beginning of an adventure.
Review: This epic tale of Brian Jacques is about a young orphan mouse named Matthias. On a quest to find the legendary sword of Martin, Matthias finds himself battling for life against the evil Cluny the Scourge. On the way he meets friend and foe; will Matthias be able to save Redwall? Redwall is one of the best in the series. Matthias has to be one of Brian Jacques greatest Redwall heroes. The battle scenes in Redwall are exciting, making you feel like one of the abbey dwellers. Reading this book is one of the best things I could have done. I recommend this book to anyone interested in stories of good against evil.

Summary: Redwall
Review: Do you want to read a high-quality fantasy novel? Then I would refer you to the nearest library. Let it be a local, school, or your own personal library. Get there fast! I have just read "Redwall" by Brian Jacques. The book has 333 pages, but is definitely worth it. The main character is Matthis, an adventurous, young, and spirited orphan, left at the Redwall entrance. Redwall is a peaceful animal village that has beautiful and elegant . It also has arches and carved figures. The animals that inhabit it are ethical forest creatures. He is now, still young, but quite mature for his age. He has become one of the pack. Full of morales, and caring. Taking delicate procedures to keep others emotions in mind of all. These creatures have always helped others in peril. Now, Cluny the Scrouge, a rat known for being terrible and for taking over villages, is trying to take over Redwall. Since everyone in Redwall is refusing to surrender, they are forced to fight a awr with Cluny, even though it is against their ways. A part that I thought was quite descriptive and exciting was when Mathias and Guosim, a shreww friend of Matthias', fight the adder for possesion of Martin the Warriors' sword. the adder is a legendary snake, foe of all. He is known as "Asmodeus", for the sound thta he makes. Asmodeus is huge, and legendarily known for his viciousness and poisoness fangs. I can't tell you who succeeds, though. Although slightly upseting, it really stood out as how war affects everyone. And it does. The brutality of war even affected Cluny. he literally went mad. I'd describe this book as adventurous and eventful. The characters are believable, but creativly amusing as animals. The plot is, at times difficult to follow, but is riviting at its higher points. I'd recommend this book for anyone who loves animals, but can stand slight gore. Also, this is a long book, 333 pages. So, anyone who can sit still for two seconds, i would probably recommend a shorter novel. I hope you choose this novel to read next.

Summary: Great
Review: This was a very good book. It was nice to get away from reading serious books with real people and just relax and feel like you are part a a utopia world where animals live in peace ( most of the time) I would highly recommend this book.

Summary: A book for the blind starts an amazing series...
Review: Brian Jacques originally wrote Redwall for the students of the Royal Wavertree School for the Blind in Liverpool. Therefore, his writing is amazingly descriptive. Redwall tells the story of Matthias, a young mouse who sets on a journey to defeat Cluny the Scrounge, an evil rat who, with his crew, tries to capture the peaceful Redwall Abbey. He creates beautiful pictures inside your head about huge feasts, epic battles, and long quests.

What an amazing book. Oh, yeah.

Summary: A wonderful story for both children and adults.
Review: O.K. First allow me to confess that I am a full fledged adult, 30 years old, with a full-time job, bills to pay, a house to maintain, etc. Having said that, I want to say that this book was truly wonderful. This is my first exposure to the "Redwall" series and anyone who would care to look at my recent Amazon.com purchases would see that I have many more books on the way. This series is truly addictive in the best sort of way. I think the thing I most liked about this story were the wonderful characters. Silent Sam the squirrel, Warbeak the sparrow, Constance the badger, and of course Matthias and Cluny the Scourge! So many other amazing characters as well. Cluny is probably one of the best villians in print. The story itself is full of mystery, legend, heroism, humor, bravery, sadness, valor, I could go on. The imagination of Mr. Jacques is truly astounding. He has created an entire universe and added fascinating characters to "people" it. What more could one ask for in a story? I have read that the entire "Redwall' series encompasses over 8,000 pages, a truly monumental work. I am anticipating total immersion in these books to the exclusion of all else. In addition to it's wonderful content this book was quite simply a wonderful way to escape from the everyday stresses and concerns of the modern world. I would highly recommend this story to anyone who loves a tale of high adventure, valor, and mystery, and to those who just want to escape with a good tale. Immerse yourself in this world. You will not regret it.

Summary: One of the best books I've read in my life, a great series
Review: Wonderful for all ages to read! I myself am a history teacher, and I am an avid collector of childrens' and young adults' fiction, and Redwall is one of the best series I have come across. There is a chronological order of the books, which is: Martin the Warrior, Mossflower, The Legend of Luke, Outcast of Redwall, Mariel of Redwall, The Bellmaker, Salamandastron, Redwall, Matlimeo, The Pearls of Lutra, The Long Patrol, and then Marlfox. You can read them in order of the publishing date, which is a different order,but I would suggest the chronological order if you want to follow the characters one after the other in each new book that you read. Enjoy! If you have any questions you'd like to ask me, my email is [e-mail].
