Rating:  Summary: Action Packed Review: As an older person I can say that I probably loved this book just as much as a young person. It has all the action from beginning to end. It also has it many humorous parts along with sad parts. I could not put this book down and stayed up into the early hours reading this one. I hope all the other redwall books are just as good and plan on getting one by one.
Rating:  Summary: Does Moss Flower? Review: Amazing!!!!!! I love this book, it's exciting, humorous, and action-packed! Mossflower truly has something for everyone, from romance to wit, from intrigue to everything else. After taking over Mossflower, the cat warlord Verugdiga Greeneyes is poisoned by his own daughter, the evil Tsarmina. She rules Mossflower with a cruel iron paw, making life miserable for the woodlanders who live there. But when a mouse warrior from the north ,Martin, comes, it seems they may have some hope. He must journey to the great moutain of Salamandastron, to get help from the great badger Lord who rules there. He must do this with two companions, one of which (Gonf the Mousethief) is having trouble leaving behind his lovely Columbine.Read this book, you'll love it! A note from Lizzla's Mom: This is a wonderful series which, like J.K. Rowling's books, has appeal for all ages. I have enjoyed reading Brian Jacques' wonderful melange of fairy tale, fable, classical tragedy and comedy. A blend of Shakespeare and Disney - the books are entertaining, fast-paced and adorable (just like Lizzla!). Highly recommended *****. -Lizzla's Mom
Rating:  Summary: Another great Jacques Review: Brian Jacques has done it again with Mossflower. I love how brave Martin is throughout the book. He shows such great courage and determination. Courage that we should show in our lives. I strongly recomend this book to anyone who likes animals and adventure. The books were really well written. I also think that they can be enjoyed by an older audience. I just want to say if you enjoyed these books, I think you'll really enjoy the Lord of the Rings trilogy along with the Hobbit.
Rating:  Summary: My favorite Redwall story Review: I have read all of the Redwall books, besides Taggerung and Triss, and this is definitly my favorite. Also upon reading all of the other books i have noted that the plot is different. Another book like this is Lord Brocktree. It is probably this way because there is no Redwall yet, and the good guys are actually attacking from the outside instead of defending. Anyway this is definitly my absolute favorite Redwall story and probably my favorite book. Read it! Mossflower rules! PS Brian Jacques will never lose his style like some believe!!!
Rating:  Summary: Another excellent book for any age Review: I'm not kidding, this book is really good! I don't care how old you are, I believe you'll enjoy this one. Easy to read, flows very smoothly the entire time, loveable characters, vivid scenery, and cowardly villians. I really don't know how they can say give this book a reading age of 9-12.. That almost made me not want to read it, but I'm sure glad that I did and look forward to reading the next one. My favorite part of the book? It'd be hard to say, but I'd have to go with the battle between Martin and Queen Tsarmina. There were lots of other great scenes too though. One question I have is why didn't Gingivere ever help in the fight against his evil sister?? He would have been a great help in the fighting besides being able to carry Abbess Germaine quickly back to the injured Martin. I guess he's just a pussycat though. I highly reccomend this book along with Redwall. To anyone.
Rating:  Summary: Martin the Warrior's story Review: 'Mossflower' is the follow-up to 'Redwall', a great adventure story that introduced us to a land of mice. This particular story actually takes place BEFORE the adventures in 'Redwall'. As in Book 1, the adventures are many, the excitement is page-turning, and the characters are full of character! Martin the Warrior is only alluded to in the first book. Here is HIS story. An easy-to-read book with a happy ending! Highly recommended.
Rating:  Summary: Expands the world of Redwall Review: Mossflower is as cute as the original Redwall novel, but with a slightly more complicated plot and style of writing. The sense of history that Mossflower contributes to the world of Redwall Abbey is delightful--here is the story of what is essentially the legendary past, yet it is told through the same sort of vivid and personal style as the first Redwall book. In addition to providing a sense of history, Mossflower also substantially expands the geography of Brian Jacques' fantasy universe. The characters' quest leads them through an amazing range of environments in which they encounter many new (and throughly charming or at least amusing) animal civilizations. All the while, the reader's knowledge of several more familiar animal cultures is expanded. This book is expecially informative regarding otters, badgers, and squirrels. In short, Mossflower is an adorable and fun read that expands the reader's knowledge of the Redwall world. My only reservation is that it is so similar in plot to the first book that it lacks some of that book's novelty and excitement.
Rating:  Summary: My fav one Review: Mossflower was the first I read and now that I've read almost all of them I have to say it's my fav one. After a while the later books tend to begin a sort of pattern, like there's a bad rat, stoat, ferret or fox that's trying to take over redwall or salamandastron and some good creatures go along a journey to do whatever and meet up with other creatures. Don't get me wrong, they're still good, I'm just saying htat Mossflower was really original. It was unique and it could take you along so you don't want to put it down but it's not so much like that so you're reading and reading and get a headache. So if you're just starting the Redwall series which is a really great and magical series of books, I would recommend Mossflower as the first although redwall was the first written.
Rating:  Summary: Great Serise Review: This Tale is one of the first of first in the Redwall serise (chronologically that is) Martian the Warrior has come out of the north looking for adventure. He finds the Mossflower woods groaning under the oppression of Old Lord Green eyes and his crazy daughter Zarmina. He gets together with some local woodlanders and they come up with a plan to bring the that empire down. Good book, giving animals human characteristics is not wholly an original idea but Brian Jaquas does it exceedingly well. If you are thinking about reading this book to younger children don't(the good guys don't exactly win in all instances). There more then enough in the way of plot to also keep older audiences interested.
Rating:  Summary: A Thrilling Prequel to Redwall! Review: I really enjoyed this book, because it was a very good science fiction/ fantasy book. It was a very good book that kept me wanting to read it more and more to see what happened next. I couldn?t put the book down once I began reading. It was about talking animals with a problem. Martin a warrior mouse was traveling from his home land, searching for his father when he was captured. He was thrown in the jail of Kotir in mossflower. He later finds out the all the woodland animals in mossflower are being enslaved and attacked by wildcats and there army. After being helped by the woodlanders he decides to stay with the woodlanders and help them defeat the intruders. With his new found friends he sets out to the mountain of Salamandastron to get help from a great warrior badger. On the way they overcome many hardships. While back in Kotir the rest of the woodlanders find out other ways to stop the intruders. I rate this on a scale of 1 to 5 stars, a 5. I rate this a perfect five because this is just the kind of book I enjoy reading. This book also has a lot of action and fighting in it which kept me wanting to read more.
