Summary: Awesome Book Doncha Know!
Review: This was my personal favorite Redwall book. The hares are absolutely hilarious! Lady Cregga Rose Eyes sounds rather scary, but she's all right when the bloodwrath is not upon her. Tammo is an excellent character who many people can relate to. The first review is someone who just isn't into fantasy as much. By the way, if you don't like it when you hear about small mammals fighting in the forest with swords, javelins, and maces, than definetly do not read this book. If you do than read this book, it's totally awesome, doncha know!

Summary: Good, but not the Best
Review: TLP is a well written book for Redwall fans. However, there are too many unlikely won battles where ten hares beat fifty villains. Jaques' books are beginning to be slightly repetative plot wise, and I miss the element of suprise. This is one of my least favorite of the series (which are, in order, Mattimeo, Redwall, Martin the Warrior, Mariel, The Bellmaker, Salmandastrom,Pearls of Lutra, Mossflower, The Outcast, and TLP)However, for a fan, this is an enjoyable book, and the characters, while not incredible intersting are funny and likeable.

Summary: The Long Patrol
Review: The Long Patrol was a very exciting book. I thought it was intresting because all the animals talk. Its strange the way the author made the animal's lives like ours(without modern technology). The beggining is a bit confusing because theres about four different settings and they keep skipping back and forth. Near the end it makes a lot more sense. I would probably recommend this book to teenagers or older people. Its hard to read because the animals talk in old English.

Summary: The Long Patrol
Review: The Long Patrol By Brian Jacques is one of many books which branched off of his popular book Redwall. Being the newest addition to his exciting book series this fantasy, printed in 1997 is a great read. Having read five other books by Mr. Jacques, I didn't meet many suprises and generaly knew where the plot of the story was going after the first sixty pages. But even with the lack of suprise I was not disappointed by the story at all. Brian still had many on going conflicts surrounded by unique characters that you grow to love. The story begins with the bad guy, Damug Warfang, who's father had recently died, giving him control of an enormous army. He intends to roam the land killing and destroying the countryside, and enslave the peaceful beasts of the land. However his plans are in dangered by a young rabbit named Tammo, who's life long dream is to be a warrior in the Long Patrol. Assisted by a squirrel named Russa, Tammo begins a path that will bring him to warrior status and make him a hero. The story is simple to read yet remarkably detailed, providing pictures of the environment, personality and battles in the readers mind. Brian Jacques could even make running in a field seem like a fun activity to the reader. But the detail and simple read isn't what sets this book apart from others. What makes The Long Patrol and others of Jacques' books stick out is the unique characters found in them. He has taken simple woodland animals and given them each a personality of their own. Some examples are the rabbits. Brian presents them as warriors, who love battle, food, and the sound of their own voice. With big mouths willing to say whatever comes to mind, and an appetite big enough for an army, the rabbits are provided with simple character traits which control their decisions and their part in the story. Not only are the animals provided with fitting personalities, but they are also provided with their own speech. By refering to others as "sir" or their repetition of "hurr, hurr" after every sentence, they receive a unique voice that you can really hear as the reader. Brian also shows this in the ground hogs, providing them with a sound that matches their personality of quiet and shy. "Whoi do ee say that?" or why do you say that? really sets them apart from the other animals by giving them a voice of their own. It's these individual voices that provide a uniqueness and enhances the personality traits of each character. This also provides a certain feel that makes the reading experience more enjoyable by involving them more in the characters personality. The only thing wrong with the book is the Walt Disney feeling the book provides. With a serious tone to the plot, it is still stabbed at with small points not consistent with its tone. These moments doused with childish humor, makes you think you're watching a movie by Warner Brothers. Due to this the audience of the book is limited to adolecent males, anyone else may not enjoy the book 100 percent. By setting the reader up in an imaginary world, with myths, legends and a uniqueness not found in too many books, Brian has written a great book. Though it may have its faults "nobody's perfect" and its strong points out weigh its weakness. To anyone who likes a fast read and a good plot with great characters, The Long Patrol will not be a disappointment.

Summary: The Book I Read
Review: To the people who love books that dicribe things well; this book is exactly that. Brian dicribes the home of Tammo in a way that makes me feel like I'm standing with him while he is being punished for chipping the blade of his fathers battle ax. The traveling was just as exciting not knowing whin some one is about to pounce on you. The discription of each of the Long Patrol offacers the cournal and others. what I'm saying is no one can make mice and rats sound so interesting. But thir was some down-falls, for examle when Rockjaw and Russha where killed by the first blade beside the bad parts, it was a terrific book.

Summary: The best!
Review: Evil is afoot in Mossflower, a vermain horde, the Rapscallions, plan to take over Redwall! And there is no abbot or abbess to mantain order in Redwall. There only hope at survival is a young hare named Tammo and the perilous hares of the Long Patrol. If you are looking for a good book then I reccomend The Long Patrol, and all of the other Redwall books, they are the best!

Summary: This is a awesome Brian Jacques book for everyone.
Review: This is a unique Brian Jacques book because it doesn't focus on Redwall characters. A young hare escapes his home with a traveling warrior to join the Long Patrol. Then the story continues through interesting adventure that will attract any reader.

Summary: Awesome
Review: Let me just say that this book is awesome. But, it would have been a better fantasy if it had some magic and wizardry in it! That would have made this book a lot cooler.
