Summary: The title is correct...
Review: ...this sort of garbage should not be part of the Redwall series. It should be Outcast. (Explaining my joke, yes, yes.) When I read it, I was so thouroughly disgusted, that I nearly threw the book out my window. (Some of my friends at that time may remember me saying that. Numerous times.)Firstly, this book was had one of the most nauseating characters in the series in it. Sunflash. I mean, it looks as if Superman somehow turned himself into a badger and goes parading around Sunnyland (that's what I call this period of time in the Redwall universe, it's patterned after how the world in the Wheel of Time is sickeningly called Randland by fans) saving the day and being oh-so-great and blah blah blah. I mean, even Martin wasn't that bad! (And, Martin actually became quite cool in Legend of Luke!) So, this book begins the marvelous parade of poorly written Redwall books that focus mainly on Super Badgers who can be seized by Bloodwrath at any moment and save the day without getting a scratch, and then get mortally wounded and survive! You know, if this is what that world has dissolved to, well, it makes me wish that Martin had never paraded around saving *anybody.* And, besides that, the villain wasn't even good at being villanous! I mean, Cluny, that was a great villain. But, Swartt? Eew. Veil, too was an embarrasment... I mean, what a *brat.* Also, the plot... was there a plot? Coulda fooled me. That whole book was just one embarrasment after another. People, take my advice and do not read this book or many of the ones after it - they are BAD. Stick to good things like the earlier books and you'll be fine. Unless you're one of those males who enjoys blood and guts and DBZ and wrestling and all that. Then, go right ahead and enjoy. Everyone else, go for the early books. Those are best. (The first book, Redwall, was actually quite charming and quaint and I loved it.) Jacques is one of those authors who got so good and popular that nobody could tell him when he went over the cliff of pitifullness. Read this series in the order that it was written in, so that nonsense like this doesn't leave a bad taste in your mouth. Ok?

Summary: one of the best books ever
Review: A wonderfully written book. One of the best in the series. It has everything you could ask for in a book, excitment, vivid descriptions,and a way of writing that makes you want to cry, and laugh. This book really touched me. It has a special place in my heart. Give this book a chance if you're not a chance if you're not sure about. It's worth every penny.

Summary: The Outcast of Redwall
Review: Doesn't all of Brian Jacques's books find a way to really workup your appitite? The way things are discribed really captures you andputs you inside of the book. I don't really know whether Veil was evil or not... I think that he just loved Bryony. Or maybe he realized how evil he was when Swartt attacked Bryony. I can't wait for the release of Lord Brocktree... he was one of Sunflash's ancestors so it will probably be interesting.

Summary: "Hurr, This'n's A Good Book, Hurr"
Review: I really liked this book. It has an action-packed plot, but it still keeps the more historical ands cultural aspects of a fantasy novel. The characters are very interesting, and Sunflash the Mace is easily my favorite Badger Lord yet. With chapters that alternate points of view, you get to know what most of the characters think about the many issues. With a good sense of adventure, an interesting look at badger, mole, and hedgehog culture, and even a dash of what's morally right, this book deserves two thumbs up in any stretch of the woods.

Summary: My favorite redwall of all
Review: The best of the books to date. The characters are strong and imaginative. Lots of action and good always wins over evil. I enjoyed the word usage and reading in dialect which makes it fun to read to someone.

Summary: A triumph of great writing
Review: Brian Jacques is an amazing storywriter. He uses basically the same ideas in every single Redwall story, and yet his books are all original! The charcters in this book are the best that can be created: A powerful leader of good in Sunflash the Mace, facing a stubborn and vengeful force of evil in Swartt Sixclaw. Veil Sixclaw, the outcast of the title, is a mystery throughout the book, a strange force of both good and evil. The secondary characters of Skarlath the Kestrel and the vixen Nightshade also play key roles in determining the fates of these two giants of good and evil (Sunflash and Swartt). Although Redwall Abbey plays a slightly smaller role in this story, it was also interesting to view a conflict where the main battle was away from the Abbey, and occasionally characters from the Abbey joined the battle elsewhere (much like The Long Patrol, another excellent Redwall book) This book is one that should be read for any who enjoy good books; it is the height of great writing by Brian Jacques.

Summary: The Outcast Of Redwall A Wonderful Book
Review: The Outcast of Redwall was the best Redwall book I have read. It had a number of things happening in it at the same time. That is what makes it so good. Some examples are Sunflash The Mace a badger traveling to the badger mountain of Salamadastron. Another is Swart Sixclaw, feret warlord whose only goal in life is to kill Sunflash The Mace. Then of course there is Redwall. Swart has a baby feret who finds himself abandoned after a battle. He then finds himself at Redwall. The vermin-like instinct in him causes him to steal things. He was outlawed by the Redwallers for attempting to poision Redwall's cook. This is a wonderful book that you must read even if you are not into the Redwall book ever!

Summary: Brian Jacques does it again!
Review: When I started reading this book, I had high expectations, being a great fan of the Redwall series. From the first page, I was hooked. The story concerns a villian named Swartt Sixclaw who has vowed to kill a mighty badger lord called Sunflash, the Mace. Along the way, Swartt has a child who he abandonds. A young mouse named Byrony finds the baby, name Veil, and takes care of him. However, when he attempts to poison Redwall's cook, he becomes and outcast, and Byrony must find him, and bring him back. Will he be an evil ferret like his father, or will he stand for good? I won't give away the surprise ending, but I can assure you, this is a must!

Summary: Outcast
Review: This book is the favorite out of all the Redwall books. I ALWAYS cry at the end, without a doubt, both at the parts with Veil and the poem. The poem that Sunflash wrote at the end about Skarlath is prolly the best piece if poetry that I have ever seen, written by anyone (or really, anybeast!) It is my belief that any book that is able to make you cry, even when you have read it over and over again must be a great one. One word though- it can be a little hard to understand unless you read the entire series!
