Rating:  Summary: This book is awsome Review: If you like the Redwall books that have wars this book is for you. most of the whole book is about war.
Rating:  Summary: Best of the series Review: This book is the one that got me hooked on the series. I read it first because I didn't know the published order and noticed all the other books referred to Martin, and figured this was a good place to start. And it indeed was.I found this to be the most dramatic of the series (Yes, I have read them all), and best written. I won't summarize the plot, just rather cast my opinion of it. I felt more tension reading this novel than I did any other in the series, and I suppose that is just due to its plot and setting, feeling a lot more tense than others, a darker light shines on this book. In many of the other novels the main settings (there are usually two or three) involve a home for the good guys. Not here, the main setting being Marshank, which makes much of the action much more gripping. I personally couldn't put the book down, and make sure to read through it around once a month.
Rating:  Summary: Martin! Fur and Freedom! Review: For those who have read the other books in the Redwall Series, I'm sure you've all heard of 'Martin the Warrior'. Well, this book tells all about him, and where he came from before he had wandered into Mossflower to rescue the animals from under the tyranny of Tsarmina the Wildcat. "Martin the Warrior" starts of with Martin, a warrior mouse, among with many other animals made to work as slaves to the cruel Badrang the Stoat. When Martin is able to escape with another mouse named Brome and Felldoh the squirrel. Martin ventures to Noonvale with Fellodoh, Brome and his sister, the mousemaid Rose, and Grumm the mole, to try to recruit the animals there to help free the other slaves in Badrang's fortress. But they are separated while Martin, Rose, and Grumm continue onto Noonvale, Felldoh and Brome meet up with some performers lead by Ballaw the hare. Felldoh and his band create havoc against Badrang while Badrang himself is trying to keep Coggs, another stoat, from taking over his fortress. This is a good book but because I'm comparing this with the other Brian Jacquess Redwall books like "Mossflower" and "Redwall", I gave this book only 4 stars. The characters are really fun, my favorite being Grumm the mole with his curious mole accent. "Martin the Warrior" has actually a pretty sad ending compared to the other Redwall books. Also, although "Martin the Warrior" is named as book 6 in the Redwall series, if you want to read the books in order of time, this is the first book, the next being "Mossflower." So I suggest to those who haven't read any of the books to start with this one, but as I said, it has kind of a sad ending so have the next book, "Mossflower", on hand. Have fun reading!
Rating:  Summary: Brian Jacques is definitely an imaginative author! Review: I love the Redwall series because they have action, humor, and because they're nice and long! I wouldn't recommend these books for kids under the age of 9 though, they have quite a bit of violence. Brian Jacques has once again succeeded to weave an excellent plot, including furry heroes and heroines as usual! I'm very excited about this series, and I think that it is one of the best for the middle-age group! You don't have to read the books in order, but it can be very useful. I also reccommend these (series) for the middle-aged reader: -The Seventh Tower -A Series of Unfortunate Events -Jedi Apprentice Happy reading!!
Rating:  Summary: Martin the Warrior review Review: I personaly thought that this was one of the best books that I have ever read. In my opinion, Brian Jacques is a writer with unmatched skills in creating a whole new world that, when a person reads about, is totally believable. In Martin the Warrior, a young mouse is enslaved by an evil stoat named Badrang the Tyrant. The book is about how this young mouse with the help of his good friends Rose, Grumm, Felldoh, and Brome, breaks free, raises an army, and fights back. Don't judge this book by the fact that the characters are animals, for if you make this mistake and choose not to read this book for that reason, you will be missing one of the greatest works that I have ever had the pleasure of reading.
Rating:  Summary: Great book! Review: I love this book! It is my favorite book in the Redwall series. I have read it at least 10 times and it still hasn't gotten boring. If you like the Redwall books you need to read this.
Rating:  Summary: The best book i have ever read! Review: This book is my favorite(so far) in the redwall series. I recomend every one to read this book! The story has something for every one: descriptive battle sences, puzzling poems and brain teasers, and a little romance. Im sure this will be a favorite if you read it.
Rating:  Summary: This is my favorite one!!!!! Review: As much as I love all of the Redwall books, this one is my favorite. The history of Martin the warrior is very interesting after all we hear about him in the other books.(I've read all 13.) After being dragged into slaverey, Martin still doesn't give up! He never backs down, and never just quits. I admire him for that. If you like this one, I also recomend The Legend of Luke and Mattimeo. READ ALL OF THE REDWALL BOOKS!!!! P.S.- If moles are hard to understand, don't worry, you get the hang of their language after a little.
