Summary: Mossflower!!!!!!!
Review: This book is an AWESOME fantasy novel! It has lots of action, perfect decriptions, one really evil character(tsarmina), one funny and likeable character(gonff), a hero(martin) and a ton of great supporting characters! Mossflower is one of the best fantasy books I have ever read! I can't wait to read the rest of the redwall books because they all sound good too! So buy Mossflower if you are into exciting, descriptive fantasy novels because this is the perfect example of one!

Summary: Couldn't put it down
Review: I think Mossflower is one of thebest books I've ever read. The book follows four basic groups throughout it. The first group is the Corim. They're like a rebel group against this communist-like group. The main leader of the Corim is Bella, a local badger of the area. They try to take over what was once theirs from Tsarmina. The second group is Queen Tsarmina, a wildcat, and her army. Her father took over Mossflower and treated the woodlanders nicely. Tsarmina didn't like this, so she killed him. She now rules Mossflower with an iron glove. She blames her brother, Gingevere, for the murder and sends him to jail. The third group is Martin the Warrior, Young Dinny the mole, Gonff the mouse theif, and Log-a-Log the shrew. Each have a different story. They are sent out by Bella to find Salamadastron to bring back her father and husband to overthrow Tsarmina. The last, and least important group, is Argulor. He is an eagle who deperarely wants to eat a pine marten. He has an intense rivarly with Tsarmina. You may not think he's important, but he is. I've read other Redwall books, but htis is one of the best. Every Redwall fan should read it.

Summary: Almost as bad as Legend of Luke...
Review: This book... stinks. This book... is not good. This book... I'll stop now. As you probably guessed from the title, I don't like this book. I never will. It is dull in comparasin to other of Brian's greats such as Mariel of Redwall, or Redwall for that matter. As one can come to expect, the baddies are helpless jerks. They attck each other in the middle of the knight, and rush out of doors that they know have arrows flying at them. The only half bright bad guy is Bane, a leader of a group of mercinaries. There is a totally needless insertion of a half blind eagle into the book who dies without doing any damage. [Well, he takes Bane with'im]. I fail to see how a giant wildcat can be scared into death by a mouse. This book is as exciting to read as it is to watch paint dry.

Summary: Inflated Reviews
Review: I had read Redwall and enjoyed it greatly. This book was very disappointing. It was so slowly paced I have not read any others in the series despite strong recommendations from friends. I'll take Tolkien.

Summary: The beggning of a great series!
Review: This is an excellent book that tells of the founding of Redwall Abbey. A must read first kinda book. A perfect beginning of a seris to a great end, Brian Jaques is a must-read-his-books-author, this perfect book is a must-read, deffinetly!

Summary: "Martin sees a vision.....Of himself?"
Review: I love these books, there fairly well written, with charectors you adore, and plots you can really get into. But the one thing I could never stand about these books was the whole. "Spirit of Martin visited me in a dream..." "Martin sent the sword to me from the sky..." or "Martin the Warrior's spirit is speaking through you..." Well when my mother (who reads all the books out loud to us) got to this book, we were all greatful to be rid of the whole 'spirit of Martin' and we could get back to enjoying the charectors and getting into the plot. Also this book had some exceptionally great charectors, and Martin was so much better in this book then in Martin the Warrior, I think. So please read this one, it is my absolute favorite so far, I have yet to read Legend of Luke, Pearls of Lutra, Marlfox, or Outcast of Redwall. Though I am sure they too will be great...as long as the Spirit of Martin isn't too prominant....

Summary: Awesome Redwall Prequel!
Review: This book was the perfect prequel to Redwall. I loved the plot, the characters, and the layout. This is the 5th Redwall novel I own and I plan to collect the entire series due to this book. It is very pivitol in the series. It is a must have in the Redwall series.

Summary: REDWALL RULES!
Review: Just in case you aren't sure about this book, GET IT! It's the best book ever written in the best series on earth. All the other books are great too. Brian Jacques wrote it for blind kids originally, so the detail is amazing! I had the privilage to meet the author and he is really nice. Get this book for anyone! You won't be sorry.

Summary: Take time to stop and smell the Mossflower.
Review: This book is a true work of art, a triumph of the modern fantasy novel. Brian Jacques' unique animal characters are fun to get to know, and kids too will love them, but not just because they're animals that can talk. In Jacques' wonderful Mossflower, the action and themes are masterfully intertwined. I particularly liked Gonff, the delightfully rascalish mouse thief (who by the way, isn't a criminal, and he works for the good guys.) Reader beware: there are numerous descriptions of the tasty foods the Woodlanders eat in their feasts. The foods they at sound so good and they all seem to be having so much fun that you want to tear yourself away from the compelling narrative for a moment and get a snack out of the fridge, so you can join the animals in their celebrations. I, too, got very hungry when I read those passages. Also of interest was how Martin the Warrior came to Mossflower and how he made himself a legend for generations to come. Martin and the Woodlanders embark on perilous adventures, and you cheer for them with every enemy they slay. You will find yourself congratulating the moles on the job they do digging a tunnel from the river to Tsarmina's castle so that....whoops, don't want to go any further than that. You'll have to read the book. You are going to read it, aren't you?
