Summary: The best book I've ever read!
Review: This book is about a warrior mouse maid that overcomes all of her obsticals and proves that friendship is not only needed but sometimes you need it to survive. I liked this book because it was about animals that go on a quest and prove that justice always wins over evil. Because of this moral, I loved this book. I would also reccomend any other redwall series book!

Summary: A wonderful book, to read again and again.
Review: This was the story of a young mouse named Mariel who set off(with 3 adventurous friends)to find her father and get revenge on the evil searat:Gabool the Wild. It is a grand adventure that I loved reading. The characters are filled with humor, wit, and courage. Yet Brian Jacques couldn't have created a character more evil than Gabool and his ruthless searats. This is a book I recomend to any fantasy lovers or lovers of the Redwall series. All I can say is:BUY IT AND ENJOY IT!!!

Summary: A great addition to a wonderful series!
Review: Mariel of Redwall is one of the more interesting in the series. Jacques introduces a young heroine, the mousemaid Mariel. She is a bit headstrong, and therefore appears brusque and childish, but she softens a little throuought the course of the story. Some of the action may be a bit farfetched, but, hey, it's a story about talking animals, and a classic good vs. evil tale, so realism is not to be valued too heavily. For those who like this one, The Bellmaker is the sequel and directly follows in the chronological sequence of the series. This is sort of a review for the whole Redwall series. I read Mossflower, Mariel of Redwall, Redwall, and Mattimeo when I was younger, and I have read Mossflower, Mariel of Redwall, The Bellmaker, and Pearls of Lutra aloud to my younger brothers. These are great books! Some of the reviews have complained of violence, difficulty in relating to animal characters, and formula plots throughout the series. Now, granted, I was reading these books to young boys, not young girls, but they never had any problem w/ the violent scenes. In fact, that was a part of the adventure; who will believe in an army that never kills, or a bad guy who isn't cruel? It keeps the stories from being too syrupy sweet. Each kind of animal has distinctive characteristics, which help to develop the characters and allow readers to relate. Badgers are kind, but juggernauts w/ berserk strength. Hares like to eat a lot, and are always talking silly. Moles have a rustic speech, that is fun to read aloud. [Burr, hoi, zurr, Oi do dearly loik deeper 'n ever pie.] Hedgehogs tend to the cellars. Rats, ferrets, stoats, weasels, and the like are run of the mill bad guys, corrupt and stupid [in general]. Foxes are traiters who try to play both sides at once for their own ends. Etc, etc, etc.. Now, the plots usually have common threads. For example, all the stories have something to do with the mice of Rewall Abbey, the badgers of Salamandastron, and a bad guy at the head of a blundering plundering force. There are generally poem riddles to be solved and journeys to make. And, no matter what, a detailed description of the meals. [Strawberry cordial, mint tea, hotroot soup, meadowcream...] Basically, for those who are interested in what all the hype is about, these stories are about good animals who have to defend their homes and their friends from evil tyrants. The bad guys' henchmen usually are foolish and get themselves killed. The good guys are humorous, and sing silly songs. The dibbuns [the young abbey creatures] are always getting into mischief.[They be likkle, they no know no better.] The Redwallers join forces with their allies, the Guisim shrews, the hares of the Long Patrol, and any other victims of the bad guys. Young inexperienced creatures become heros, and grow up at the same time. Older creatures learn how to defend what they love. And, it's a good exciting story! The first four written were Redwall, Mossflower, Matimeo, and Mariel of Redwall, but the first one chronologically is Martin the Warrior [followed by Mossflower, Mariel of Redwall, and Bellmaker] These are great books, and my whole family likes to hear them read aloud, even my Dad. If you want to test them first, go ahead and get them from the library, but I'd predict you'd want to own these ;)
