Summary: The Perfect Transition for Young Readers
Review: 'Redwall' is an exciting adventure that never slows, never bores, and never disappoints the reader. You could say it's a simple "good vs. evil" story between the good, honorable mice of Redwall Abbey and the evil forces of Cluny the one-eyed rat, but that would be an oversimplification. It's much more, largely in part to Brian Jacques and his skillful writing. As I was reading 'Redwall,' I realized that this book is the perfect transition between young adult and adult literature. If your child is bored with most of the books written for his level, but maybe is not quite ready for one of the heavies, 'Redwall' may be the answer. Jacques tells a very approachable story with a language that will be challenging for some younger readers, but not beyond their reach. His descriptions and characters are painted with more depth than the average young person's book, but the fun and excitement are retained. Jacques is to be applauded. If your child enjoys fantasy stories and is not quite ready for Tolkien, 'Redwall' is the perfect transition book/series. Enjoy. 350 pages

Summary: Cutest book ever!
Review: This is the cutest book ever! The characters and the world they live in are rich with charming detail. The writing is upbeat and eminently readable. Short chapters make it easy to quickly progress through the book. The plot is intriguing and neither grandiose nor trivial. Brian Jacques has done a great job of writing about anthropomorphic animals without creating a childish story. He doesn't shelter his readers--bad things happen to the characters, and not only to the villains. He also achieves the proper balance between cuteness and gravity with the animals, which are adorable without being saccharine, and anthropomorphic without seeming too much like people. By populating his story with mice, rats, badgers, and otters, he creates a fantasy/historical setting that is believable and detailed while remaining slightly alien and therefore alluring. I loved this book both because the animals were so endearing and because it was one of the most enjoyable works of fantasy I have ever encountered. And yes, after finishing I immediately ran out to get the second book in the series (so far it seems to be even better than the first one.) I highly recommend Redwall to both children and adults who love animals and fantasy.

Summary: GREAT BOOK!!!!!
Review: After getting this from a library, I thought it would be a pointless book that I would absolutely hate. But when I started reading it, I loved everything about this wonderful book. From the very first chapter to the end, this book rocked. It is about a little mouse that is very clumsy. Yet after the great feast at Redwall, Cluny the Scourge struck war at the Redwall Abbey. Matthias then sets off to find the legendary sword of Martin the Warrior so he can slay the evil Cluny and rid his abbey of any evil. If you are a fantasy fan and you love animals, this book is perfect. And even if you don't like fantasy or don't love animals, this book would still be a wonder to your life. If you are looking for a book with plenty action and adventure, this is the book for you.

Summary: delicious
Review: I hav read most of the redwall series and they are just wonderous! They are not the easy read books I have been forced to read or read because nothing else was of intrest. This book caught my attention and brought me into the story and made me feel as if i was actually there with Matthias and the whole of redwall abbey fighting for the sake of peace and others. These books have given my friends and me laughter and sadness all in one! This series is really superb! I am looking forward to finishing the series and reading the other books that go along with Redwall! I wish this series didnt have to end!

Summary: Once you read this, you wont stop there!
Review: When my friend recomended it to me, i thought it would suck because i thought about about little mice squeaking around eating cheese, but this book is a grand, classic story about an underdog, clumsy mouse that happens to come across Cluny the Scourge, and legendary vermin whose name only stressed mothers used to get children in their beds, but when cluny's eyes lays on the peaceful redwall abbey, he gets an idea to invade and rule over it. a great story for a ll ages, from 9 up to 90!it's the most well-written story ive ever read; most of the book makes you forget about humanity and you see the animals with human qualities, and forget everything else around you. it feels like you, yourself, is taking part in this. brian jacques is my favorite author of all time.

Summary: An excellent read for all ages
Review: The first book in Jacques' series surprised me with its excellent imagery and relatively mature message. Although the writing style is simple and easy to read, this is not really a kids book. Although it is listed as being for ages 9-12, I believe that this book would be enjoyable (even exciting) for people of any age. I'm 22 and plan on reading the next (Mossflower). So, if you're contemplating reading this book, I strongly reccomend it and you shouldn't worry about it being below your reading level. It is an extremely enjoyable book from start to finish.

Summary: Redwall World
Review: Adventure... Drama... Action... War... these are some of the few stimulating elements of Redwall. The reason this book is so uniquely good is that, instead of humans, it involves animals: mostly rats, mice, badgers, ferrets, otters, and squirrels, and instead of placing these animals in a human environment, they are in their own, as if humans do not co-exist on the same terrain. They have their own civilization inside a monastery called Redwall. The writing style is magical, and it keeps me on the edge of my bed. The adventure is perilous, the action is intense, the drama brings tears to my eyes, and the war keeps my heart pounding. I strongly recommend the whole series.

Summary: Redwall
Review: Redwall is a great action adventure story at a somewhat higher reading level. Redwall is about young mouse Matthias on a quest to get the sword of legendary Marting the Warrior to banish the bedreaded Cluny the Scorge and his horde from Redwall Abbbey. The creatures of the Abbey are peaceful, but were forced to fight to save their home. As you progress further into the book, the action and suspension grows. It finally reaches the peak near the end, different from other books, when Matthias finally completes his quest, or so it seesms. At that same point, though, The creatures are at what seems the end of their wonderful Abbey, and the beginning of Cluny's rein with an iron fist. The story is well detailed, and it is divided so it is easy to understand. This book is definitly for someone who loves adventure and battle. I have just one thing to say about Redwall, EXCELLENT!
