Summary: A Page Turner
Review: A truly great book. This is a book that thinks out of the fantasy premise. All the bases for a classic tale. This is a must if you have read and enjoyed another book in the series. The entire book nicely flows and keeps you flipping the pages as fast as you can. If you like a good fantasy then this is a book you will enjoy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Redwall
Review: The book I am reading is Redwall. It's a very good book about mice in a stronghold fort called Redwall Abby. There is a hoard of rats that want to capture Redwall. A young mouse comes to the Abby. His name is Matthias. He studies the legend of Martin the Warrior who lived a long time ago.
Brian Jacques is an excellent writer and Redwall is an awesome book. Brian Jacques puts lots of detail into the description of his characters. He describes Shadow's voice as "a whisper of wet silk across a smooth slate." Asmodeus had a voice like "dry leaves rustling." The names of his characters use vocabulary that describes them perfectly. For example, Cluny the Scourge is the Warlord with a very long tail like a whip and a poisonous barb on the tip.. Scourge means a lash, a whip, an affliction sent for punishment, to harass. Abbot Mortimer is the only Redwall defender to die from the enemy's attack and mort means death.
The names of Cluny's captains are also very descriptive. Cheesetheif probably stole cheese. Frog blood probably spilled the blood of a frog. Redtooth got a bloody tooth. Fangburns fangs probably hurt from chewing on a lit cigarette. Skullface and Scrag sound like they look kind of skinny. Ragear sounds like his ear is damaged.
Brian Jacques keeps the reader going in suspense about Cluny defeating the Abby. His attacks get more and more severe. The defenders are smart, wise and skilled. The archers never miss, it's hard for them to miss. They even shot Warbeak down by accident when they were just trying to scare the sparrows off to save Jess. Jess was looking for the sword up on the roof.
Warbeak's Mother knows where to find Martin's sword. The 2nd part of the book is called the Quest. Methulsa has all the old writings and knows things Matthias does not. He and Matthias follow clues to solve the riddle of what happened to Martin's sword.
Redwall is not just your usual book with a story and a plot. It has something for everybody. Whether you like romance, action, adventure or mystery this is your kind of book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Favorite Series of All Time
Review: Forget Harry Potter! Martin, Matthias, Mattimeo, and all the Redwall heros are the ORIGINAL adventure books for people of all ages. I started with the series in the late 80's when I was a kid and Redwall was first published. I still eagerly await Mr. Jacques' continuation of the story year after year. I am now pleased that my younger nieces and nephews are old enough to read and enjoy the series so I can share the magic with them.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Redwall is for you!!
Review: I love the Redwall series. I think all the action, adventure and suspense keeps you in there with all the characters. Redwall, the first, really caught my attention with Matthias, Mortimer, Cluny, Cornflower, and all the rest. I espcially like Basil Stag Hare, as he's always up for a good joke, wot wot, chappies?
If you like fantasy books, then Redwall is the perfect book for you!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Redwall Is One Of The Best Series Books Ever : ) !
Review: Redwall is a book about Matthias, a young mouse who lives in Redwall Abbey. When an evil rat horde comes to take over their beloved home,Redwall Abbey, Matthias, along with his other friends try to defend their beloved abbey. Matthias must discover the secrets within him to win the war with the evil rats.
This book is a little hard to start, but is well worth it. Also, Redwall's series are very similar to Redwall. However, they are still a great read. I have read 3 Redwall books and they were all great.This is a must read. I think it is one of the best series.
The books have about 400 pages in them, but is a great book to read if you are 10 or older. I found this book very enjoyable. If you love this book, you should read all of the series. It is well worth the money. I hope you enjoy this book. : )

Review: The story of Redwall is mainly a tale of courage, bravery, and most of all, friendship. As a young novice at the Abbey of Redwall, the young mouse Matthias learns the historic tale of Martin the Warrior, the Abbey hero of long ago. Matthias yearns to be like him.

The characters are entertaining, energetic, daring, and willing to risk all for their home, friends, and families. This is the main story in the 16-book series: The Chronicles of Redwall. Read Brian Jacques bestseller: Redwall!

Summary: The BEST Book Ever Written
Review: Brian Jacques has created a masterpiece with his Redwall books. These are the best books I have ever read, and Redwall is by far the best, along with Mossflower, Pearls of Lutra and Mattimeo. I am eleven years old and I LOVE the Redwall books!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: After I read this, Harry Potter wasn't worth a lick.
Review: Here I am writing this review unable to express how fantasticly
great this book truly is. If you have not read any of the Redwall
series than set aside old harry thing and pick up Redwall. This novel is bursting with action,homliness, and crushing evil. The book starts off with young Matthias who has the spirit of Martin {the warrior and founder of Redwall Abbey} in him. Matthias must embark upon a great adventure seeking out the forgotten sword of Martin the warrior of Redwall. Without the sword, Redwall Abbey does not stand a chance against the evil rat, Cluny the Scourge.
Although this book is considered a kids book it should be for any person who has a brain in their head and knows how to read. In my mind ,this book is rated 6 out of 5 stars. You heard all this from a twelve year old boy who loves to read.

Rating: 5 stars
