Rating:  Summary: Absolutely charming Review: Mossflower is really a charming book. All the characters are so unique, and by the end of the book, you really feel like you know them, even though they are animals. Most of the time, you forget they are animals because they have such human characteristics. Jacques is an excellent author, and rarely do you get bored reading his books. Mossflower is excellent, and I think it appeals to animal lovers. And after you read this book, you'll want to read the rest. Each book leads into each other, and they are so charming. If you like animals, adventure, and historical fiction, you'll like this.
Rating:  Summary: Another great book! Review: This is another classic. It's second in the Redwall series and is also one of the best. It's hard to say if I like this one better than the original "Redwall"... They're both excellent. If you like epic adventure books, you'll enjoy this.
Rating:  Summary: Delightfull as always Review: The redwall books are wonderfull.They combine great characters and wonderfull stories along with consistant dialects. Not too mention the description of the food. Brian jacques writes for young adults but the charm enchants older adults as well. You can't help but fall in love with the characters and clear cut protagonists. The antagonists are truly antagonists giving you a stark line between good and evil black and white. Reading this book swept me away. The only fault that I could find in regards to this book is the simplistic plot and character developement. But hey this is a childrens book and I can live with it will all of the other wonderfull things going on it it
Rating:  Summary: Just as good as Redwall Review: If you thought Redwall was good, you'll be surprised at how good Mossflower is. Though Mossflower is a prequel to Redwall, you pick Mossflower up and you won't be lost in the dark. Mossflower tells the tale of Martin the Warrior mouse and his first real adventure. The book has vivid characters that make you part of the book. And if you finish Mossflower and you want more(which you probably will), check out the next book in the series, Mattimeo, another great Brian Jacques book.
Rating:  Summary: The best book I have ever read! Review: Mossflower is truly a remarkable story. It tells all about the coming of Martin the Warrior to Mossflower country and his heroic battle against the wicked wildcat queen Tsarmina. Martin uses his courage and his wit to help bring freedom to Mossflower and the Woodlanders. If you liked Redwall, you'll love this one! Way to go Brian! :)
Rating:  Summary: Moss Flower Review: This book I think was one of the best. It folows the story of Martin the worrior destined to become Redwalls greatest worrior. It is a tale befor Redwall was even built and there was no freedom for woodlanders in moss Flower wood. Tsarmina, a wildcat queen of a thousand Eyes, rules this land. Until a brave mouse vowed to forever end the evil queens rule over the land. With his half sword around his neck, he faces danger and brings death to the queen. At the end of this book martin hangs up his sword and builds redwall . . . this I Belive is the best redwall book. I give it a Five Star!
Rating:  Summary: The best place to start the Redwall series. Review: Tied even for The Greatest Redwall Book Ever, the best features of this one are the originality of the setting, and the characters. Obviously, since Redwall Abbey hasn't been built yet, this dictates a very different, very interesting plotline, where the heroes are on the outside of the safe, comfortable fortress. This change might also be influential in the superb characters, or it might be that, as the second(third?) book written, Jaques has mastered the art without it becoming repetitious. Whatever the reason, Martin, Amber, and Skipper all have excellent personalities without being cliche, and the time is taken to develop them fully. Even Tsarmina is one of the most original, recognizable villains in the series. And lest I forget to mention, the plot is superb, with an engaging build up leading to a realistic ending that closes the story very well, while leaving one wanting to read the other books. This book is definetly the place to start the Redwall series, as the ones that come before it (Martin the Warrior, The story of Luke) are not nearly as well written, and best left until after one is already addicted, which this book will do to you in a few pages.
Rating:  Summary: Mousies and Kitties and swordfights oh my. Review: Evil Cat. Questing Mouse. yadda yadda yadda.But to be serious its a fun book that will give you characters to root for that aren't blatantly annoying or one dimensional ...except for the eagle, but he's no hero, he's just a lazy old bum with an eating disorder.
Rating:  Summary: Michael Whatley's review for Mossflower Review: This book is an excellent thriller with mystery and non-stop adventure on every page. You just can't stop reading this novel of a lifetime.
Rating:  Summary: An overview for Mossflower Review: Martin is off to find the "Fire Mountain" of Salamandastron.He seeks to find Boar the Fighter to help defeat Queen Tsarmina who wants to rule Mossflower with an iron claw.But on his quest to find Boar he will encounter many perils.By far Mossflower is the best Brian Jacques book ever don't take my word for it,read it yourself I think you'll be surprised.
