Summary: The Mouse Who was a Warrior
Review: Martin the Warrior is a suspensful action packed book. Martin the main character is caught at a young age by a Tyrant called Badrang. He escapes from Badrangs slave compound and swears to Badrang he will be back to get his fathers sword which was taken from him. The mouse goes through a lot of hardships and returns to Fort Marshank where Badrang lived at the end of the book and I can't tell you the rest.

Summary: The Adventure of Redwall's Hero
Review: A well-written adventure about a young mouse named Martin who was captured by an evil horde that was led by Bedrang the Stoat. Bedrang was an evil stoat who wanted to create and rule his own empire by capturing and enslaving small woodland animals.

Martin's father, Luke, went away to sea to fight sea rats and left behind his magnificent sword. One day while Martin and his Grandmother are talking on the shoreline a long way from their tribe's caves, a band of villainous-looking creatures attack them. Bedrang takes Luke's sword away from Martin, shackles him to his Grandmother, and then to the rest of the slave line. Next came the long march - it lasted two seasons. All Martin can think of during the whole time he is a slave is planning how to get his father's sword back and how to get himself and the others free of Bedrang and his horde.

This is a story of a great adventure from beginning to end, except for a little bit in the middle when they were on the Otter's raft and the story seemed to go a little slow. I couldn't put it down until I finished reading the whole thing.

I would recommend anyone my age and even adults (like teachers) would enjoy this book. I have read many of the Redwall books and would recommend all of them to everyone - kids and adults. These books teach about honesty, making and keeping friends, and how good always triumphs over evil even if it takes a little while.

The other Redwall books that I have read include: Redwall, Mattimeo, Salamandastron, The Bellmaker, The Outcast of Redwall, The Long Patrol, and Marlfox.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Emotionally stirring...a masterpiece!
Review: I've read all the Redwall books; several made me cry, but not like this one. I admit: I wept openly while reading it. It's not a particularily sad story, but Martin (who wuld later become Redwall's greatest hero) had a hard life. He was taken prisoner by Badrang the Tyrant and led away from his home on the northern shores at a young age. Once at Badrang's Palace, he was forced to work with other slaves, but his courage never failed him. Martin makes friends with Rose and Grumm, a mousemaid and a mole, who are one the outside of the palace and trying to rescue Rose's brother Brome, also a slave. An escape is planned for Martin, Brome and Felldoh (a squirrel), who are down in the prison pit as a punishment for their insolence. The manage to get free, but Martin and Rose are separated from Brome and Fellodoh at sea beacause their boat sunk. Both couples find much adventure anbd new friends as they try to raise an army against Badrang. When they finally meet again an attack is made on the palace, a battle between free creatures and a Tyrant. During the battle, the rest of the slaves are freed ands they, too, join the fight against their former captor. In the end, at the very end of the battle, a trajic and unexpected thing happens, which changes Martin forever. Throughout the story, though, tiny hints have been dropped about this unfortunate occurence. If you want to laugh, cry, and be held in suspense I strongly reccomend this touching book. In fact, I reccmend all of the Redwall books beacause each is special in its own way.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good, but not as wonderful as I'd hoped...
Review: I read this book after falling for the Harry Potter books and as a lifelong fan of the Duncton Wood novels. Now I knew that this would be different to both those series but was aware of its cult following and huge popularity and was keen to give it a go. I like the idea of epic sagas and stories that continue across several volumes and this seemed ideal.

Unfortunately I was a little disappointed. I know that the books are primarily aimed at children but the best childrens books can be read by adults without any 'dumbing down'. I found the execution of this interesting story to be a little too simplistic and a great deal of the 'thrill' I would have wanted when reading the battle and other adventure scenes just wasn't there.

Another criticism is that there were perhaps too many characters to really allow the reader to get to know any of them. There are lots of enjoyable characters in the book but so many that it is hard to emotionally engage (am I really using that phrase when talking about mice and badgers? ) with them and consequently in moments of danger you aren't really on the edge of your seat.

That being said it is a fun book and a pleasure to read but does not rank as a classic for me. When I read the first Harry Potter book I had to read the next two straight away, the same with the Duncton Wood novels, but I do not have the same desire to read the Redwall saga.

But please bear in mind when reading this review that I am 29 years old and hardly the targer audience for the Redwall saga! My review is intended for those of a similar age who might be thinking of reading this book.

For kids it is another matter! I would have loved this book when I was 10 or 11 and if you are that age or buying it for someone who is you will be introducing them to a rewarding and magical tale.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A death and an unexceptability....
Review: I think this book was great! It had intreiging charectors, and a wonderful plot that was uncompairable!! But the ending was rather dissapointing. Someone Martin cares about dies very near the end, and Martin is entirily unable to except it, I think it could have been better if the charector had simply, not died. I still think the book is worth the reading, but be prepaired for the ending to be only third best.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Magic Kingdom For Sale Sold! WOW!!
Review: Magic Kingdom For Sale Sold, is Terry Brook's best non-Shannara novel. The edic tale starts when Ben Holiday(a modern day Chicago Lawyer) see's an add for a magical fantasy land with damsels, wizards, dragons, fairys, and with the buyer as king of the land. Ben Holiday leaves his home and friends and buys the land. When he gets to the land of Landover(the land he bought), Ben finds out it wasn't all he bargined for. None of the Barons would support the crown, there is a dragon destroying the land, and the king is supposed to battle the Demon Lord Iron Mark, for the right to the crown.

Ben the King has only a few followers to set all to right, Questor Thews, an incompetent court wizard, Abernathy, a talking talk who used to be a human until Questor accedentlt transformed him, and the lovely Willow a half human half fairy, who turns into a tree in the moonlight. I would reccomend this book to all teenagers and adults. They would the the ever moving plot, and as I found out once Ben enters the magical kingdom you can't put the book down. I would also reccomend the sequels of this book for you to read, The Black Unicorn, Wizard at Large, The Tangle Box, and Witches Brew. You will love them all.
