Rating: Summary: Great story overall ! Review: This tale from the redwall series is about an evil pine marten named Ublaz who send out a group to steal six mysterious pearls. In the group, there were two traitors who end up escaping from the ship with the pearls. The pearls finally ends up at redwall.Then the story unfolds from the captured abbot to the riddles of the pearls to the journey of a warrior mouse. Would they find the pearls in time to exchange them for their abbot or will Martin do something about it? you'll just have to find out by reading this amazingly well written story.First of all this was a great book, the way the story is written kept me coming back for more. The suspense found in the extremely clever riddles is only one of many factors that made this book a real page turner. Overall i think this book is great, but not the best compared to the other Redwall books i've read.
Rating: Summary: My Favorite of the Redwall Books Review: As you can see this is my favorite book in the Redall books. I am a big fan of fantasy, and this book really upheld my expectations. And, being a Lord of the Rings fan my expectations are really high. Two years before the story starts Emperor Ulbaz, called Mad Eyes behind his back, send a shipload of Corstairs to steal the Tears of all Oceans, six perfect, rose colored pearls. But to do this, they must murder the Holt of Lutra the Otter. Unfortunatly for the Corstairs, they made one big mistakes. they left Lutra's daughter, Grath Longfletch, alive. One of the crew turnes out to be a trator, he steals the pearls, and finds his way to Redwall Abbey where an Fermald the Ancient takes him in and befrends him. He later leaves the Abbey, but dies before he gets too far. Before Fermald dies she hides the six pearls is different places around the abbey, leaving clues in the form of riddles to enable some one to eventually find them. Fast forward two years. Tansy, a hedgehog maid and Arven, a squrrell Dibbuns are out gathering herbs for Sister Cicely, who is in charge of the Infermatary. Getting caught in a rainstorm, they seek shelter in some old caves, where they discover an old skeleton. Later, we find out it is the skeleton of the old Corstair. As the story unfolds Tansy is faced with the challange of finding the six pearls, while Martin the Warrior #2 has to sail to Sampentra, the corstair's home isalnd, to recover the Abbot Durall and Viola Bankvole, who were kidnapped by some of Ulbaz's Monitor Lizzards. I found this story to be a good read. The characters are very realistic, some of my favorites are Clecky the hare, and Arven the Squrrell, whose speaks in a cute baby voice(her is an example: Firsta sunny thena rannywet, it'sa maggit!) Unlike Tolkien, the names are easy to pronounce and the story is not as confusing, even though there are at least two or three subplots; which are very nice because they help you understand what has been happening by the time our Heros become involved. I must warn you though. If you prefer books to be more real then DO NOT read this book. It most defenatly will dissapoint you.
Rating: Summary: Exciting ,Awesome and Deliciously Frightening. Review: This is a very good book. The plot is very intriguing and always keeps you hooked. It's hard to put down once you start it. Even if you haven't read any other Redwall books,this one is easy to understand and fun to read. Brian Jacques has given us a new character, The Emperor. You wouldn't believe how crazy the Emperor is! I recommend this book for ages 8 and up.
Rating: Summary: One of Brian's best! Review: This story is surely one of Brian's best. Its beautifully woven plot keeps you on your toes throughout the duration of this book. He make the characters come alive and seem like your best friend or they can be evil like emperor Ublaz and make you want to burn the book because you hate them so much. This is what writing is all about. This is a story for all ages and will be a fantastic edition to anyone's personal library(not just Redwall fans). During this story, there will be cliffhangers at the end of every chapter and you will madly read on because you want to know what happens to the good guys like Abbot Durall. I don't want to give the story away so i'll leave it to you to purchase this book and see for yourself.
Rating: Summary: Pearls of Lutra review by ben g Review: the pearls of lutra is what i think is the beat redwall book ever.I have read all of the series and what i think made this one my favorite was all of the action in it , but what really brought me into the story was all of the beautiful scenery described by the author. The description of the characters and their surroundings was fantastic and the food described was to die for.The story is about an abbey inhabited by mice,squirrels,voles,moles,badgers,ottersand even owls.The abbey is called redwall all of the creatures there live in harmony while tending to the abbey that they built.Soon their way of life is threatened by an army of corsairs and moniter lizards searching for the pearls of lutra which were said to lie at redwall abbey.Unfortunately the abbey dwellers have no idea what the army is talking about,but the army don't believe what they are told.So the army plans to get the pearls one way or another even if it means killing all the inhabitants of redwall. Meanwhile on the isle of Sampetra beyond the western sea the emperor Ublaz also known as Madeyes for his hypnotic stare is struggling to prevent mutiny from happening on his isle, while the majority of his army are on their way to the abbey of redwall.A very good read and certainly my favorite redwall book and I hope that you will enjoy the book just as much as I did.
Rating: Summary: The Pearls of Lutra - the best Redwall book. Review: I encourage anyone who enjoys the Redwall series and has not read the Pearls of Lutra to get their hands on this book as soon as possible. You won't be able to put it. I believe this is the best Redwall book of the ones I have read.
Rating: Summary: The Pearls Of Lurea Review: The Pearls Of Lutra If you like animal fiction, or adventure, you're in for a good book. Far away on the island of Sampetra Ublaz referred to as Mad Eyes and his monitors fight corsairs and sea rats while Martian and friends of Redwall fight Mad Eyes for the Abot of Redwall find out what happens when you read the book The Pearls Of Lutra.

Rating: Summary: Pearls of lutra Review: this book is sooo good. it has lots of riddles and wonderfull characters.
Rating: Summary: Pearls of Lutra Review: In brief, this book is about six pearls that are called "The tears of the ocean". Since the otters of Holt Lutra possess these treasures of the sea, they are all slain for them by Emperor Ublaz. They fall in Redwall and the creatures there find themselves in a dangerous situation. The emperor has captured the Abbot of Redwall and holds him as ransom. Martin the Warriormouse of Redwall sets out to sea to kill Emperor Ublaz. He is successful and the pearls are tossed into the sea and never to be found again. I liked this book a lot. I has lots of action, mystery, and moods. When I read this book I felt like I was actually there and saw everything happening in the book. The discription of the characters was very realistic and their moods discripted very well. My favorite part of this book is the sections that tell about the rebellion that starts on Sampetra, where Emperor Ublaz lives, and when Martin and his crew arrive. These sections seem so real that I felt that I was in the battle. Everything was carefully desecribed and there was lots of suspence. These traits make this book a book worth reading. Derek Pan P.6
