Summary: Martin the Warrior
Review: I love this book.
This is my *favorite* book of all times. I highly reccomend it to anyone.
It has humor, animals, adventure, romance and many other things.
This book really had an impact on me. I still have dreams about fighting Badrang, and conversing with Matin, Grumm, Rose and all the other dear charaters. ;-)
If one of my favorite characters died it practically tore my heart out.
This is an *EXCELLENT book. Thank you Brian for giving us this wonderful series! :-)

Summary: A great introduction to Redwall
Review: This was the first book in the Redwall series I've read, and I'll be back for more. Martin the Warrior is a great fantasy epic with animals as the characters. It had a Tolkien-esque quality to it. If you liked The Hobbit, you might like Redwall too.
The setting was beautiful, and all the characters were great. (Ballaw the Hare was my favorite!) I enjoyed all the little songs, lore, and history throughout the book. All this made me feel like I was there on an adventure along with the characters.
There were many battle scenes, which I'm not particularly fond of, but what's a warrior without battles? Overall this book was great, and it was a fine introduction to Redwall. I hope you enjoy it too!

Summary: Martin The Warrior
Review: Martin the Warrior was a very enjoyable book to read. The author, Brian Jacques, used plenty of detail to describe the characters and the settings. The story is quite an interesting one. Martin, the main character was enslaved s a young mouse. The story line takes you through his and other's journeys to freedom and "home." The story is actually a story within a story; a traveler tells the story to a congregatoin. It starts out, with Martin being enslaved by Badrang, the tyrant, whose hoard captures all the creatres living along the coast. Whlie Martin is a slave he meets many and also meets some people on the "outside" that eventually help him, and become focal characters in the story.
As already stated, I really enjoy the great detail that is typical of all the Brian Jacques books. I can picture all the characters and places with vivid detail. Also, you get to know several character wuite well, not just a few. Alos there is a main plot, but it definitely has several curveballs thrown into it. However, the additions don't drag on, they actually add much more interest, wnating to know what happens, and basically it doesn't feel quite as much like a "Disney movie" it's not ridiculously predictable.
My main dislike of the book was that it was very hard to keep everything straight and remember which character was which. At points in the story there are three or four separate groups going independently. Since it can't be written all together, it's also quite hard to keep a mental time line. Also there were tons of character, for a moderately short book. All of the characters had abnormal names making it even harder to keep track of who was who.
Overall though I would recommend this to late elementary to early middle school. So if you're looking for an adventorous story, or are a fan of Brian Jacques, this is a great book to pick up.

Summary: Readyourbook
Review: I discovered these books accidently by seeing the PBS show Redwall with my children (13 and 9, a girl and a boy). We all fell in love with the stories and the author, Brian Jacques, who spoke at the end of each episode. We bought the entire series, at least the 16 he has written ( so far) and have spent the summer reading them. The characters just sweep you into their world and you become emotionally involved with the story of how and why Martin developed into a warrior, what it cost him and how those experiences colored his world everafter. A must read for families together. There are moral lessons in the story that even the youngest child can comprehend, because they can relate to the animal characters; as diverse a group as you are ever likely to encounter, and wish you would.
