Summary: Guilty Pleasure
Review: Since I'm about three times the age of the target reader of this series, I'll have to chalk it up a guilty pleasure. My wife almost threw me out of bed when I was laughing and she found out I was reading a book about mice, mole, and badgers with swords. My daughter just turned seven, so the violence and length of the books might be a turn-off, but I am anxiously awaiting being able to share the books with her in a year or so. I've bought several of them, and checked the rest out of the library, even though I have to prowl the young adult section to find them.

"Outcast Of Redwall" is up to par with the rest of the books -- entertaining, exciting, funny, and a really quick read (it took me all of about 2 hours, which is another reason I like the books). Actually, I like the books better knowing that they are targetted to the 8-15 market, because, despite my liking of the books, I would feel even more guilty if they were written for adult readers.

I read tons of different kinds of books, but I am generally turned off by fantasy, except for "The Lord Of The Rings" and, another guilty pleasure, "The Wheel Of Time".

So... Screw up your courage, find a paperback book cover, and sneak into the young adult section and get a few Redwall books (as far as I can tell, "Outcast" is as good as any to start with). You will probably be glad you did...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An Epic Adventure
Review: An epic adventure of a badger named Sunflash the Mace, looking for his destiny with the help of his good friend Skarlath, an eagle.

They encounter different friends along the way which I felt made the story more interesting. Brian Jacques really gave the charcters more depth and I really connected with them. One of the best Redwall books I have read!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pretty darn good
Review: This one's not quite as good as some of the others, but still pretty good. When Veil (an out cast of Redwall) discovers that his father is an evil horde-lord, he must decide whether his loyalty goes to the good Redwall creatures who brought him up or to his newly found father.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Exellent.....
Review: A real Redwall book. It has a very good beggining, middle & end. I like the personification. It has many disasters in store for the characters and more than one plot. A real page-turner.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A GREAT BOOK!!!
Review: This book has fabulous climax and the twist ending is great! After this, I read all of Brian J. books.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great!
Review: This book was truly amazing. I couldn't put it down. I'd like to thank my friend Turner for getting me into reading the Redwall books!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jacques @ His Best
Review: I have read almost all The (original) REDWALL series and The Outcast of Redwall was very engaging. I have read it twice. I think others should have the same experience. you should also read: Redwall, Martin the Warrior, Mariel of Redwall, The Bellmaker, and The pearls of lutra

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: It takes a while to get into.
Review: If you like slow stories, this is the perfect book for you. Personally, I would not recommend this book to anyone. It is a huge book with not alot of action.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Review:
Review: The eighth installment of the famed Redwall series gives a far darker look at the land of Mossflower. Unlike many of Jacques' other books where the major evil confronts the major good, The Outcast of Redwall holds the suspense of the reader with the question of whether or not Viel Sixclaw will turn upon those who reared him from a cub, or turn his back on the evil who is his father, Swartt Sixclaw. Like all Jacques' books, there are many different characters who always seem to come together in a large show-down in the end. In this story, the other groups are Sunflash the Mace, and Bryony the mousemaid who raised Viel. Sunflash is the sworn enemy of Viel's father, Swartt Sixclaw. This violent, mutual hatred greatly effects the lives of all creatures involved. While not as good as Jaques' Mattimeo, Mossflower, or Pearls of Lutra, this book is a good addition to the Redwall Series, and a needed deviation from the norm of Jacquesian novels.
