Summary: The Legend of Luke
Review: This book fills in all the questions about Luke, the father of the greatest warrior of Redwall Abbey, Martin. Martin knew little about his father until he set out on a quest to find more. His journey ends at a half of a ship lodged between two huge stone pinnacles where four old friends of Luke live. They tell Martin all they remember of his father. If you're into sword clanging, rock slinging action, then The Legend of Luke, the twelfth chapter of the Redwall saga, is for you.Intelligent mice, moles, hedgehogs and such, in battle with ferrets, rats, stoats, and weasels in the vast country of Mossflower, charging down hillsides, and adventures on the high seas. Such are the features of this amazing book by Brian Jacques, The Legend of Luke.

Summary: Awesome! Truly AWESOME!
Review: This book is a must-read! It's about how Martin travels to the northlands to find out what happened to his father, Luke the Warrior. Vilu Daskar is not a very nice stoat! He abused his crew, once having some of them whipped then doused in salt water. Ouch! Luke is always after Daskar in his tiny vessel, the Sayna, named after Martin's mother. Beau the hare is so funny, his whole crew is. This book is filled with the usual action, adventure, and sadness that is in all the other Redwall books. It has a very sad ending. Sad, but extremely heroic. To those of you that have read it, you know what I mean! And Ranguvar Foeseeker the squirrel warrior, whoa... she's cool! She's one of the most savage warriors in the whole series! You learn lots of secrets too, like about how Saint Ninian's was built, how the tapestry was made, and all that stuff!

Summary: This book is Fantastic- an excelent read
Review: The roaring author Brian Jacques has successfully written another brilliant novel. The Legend of Luke is another grand addition to the Redwall series, with the same action and adventure. The story is fun filled, vibrant, and "clench your seat" insane.
The adventure starts with the hero of the story, Martin the Warrior, at Redwall Abbey. Redwall is a sanctuary in the middle of Mossflower forest where all creatures of a good heart can find safety. A roaming hedgehog named Trimp finds the abbey and isallowed to find shelter within the walls. While working Trimp sings a song that triggers Martin's memories of his life as a child. Martin and friends travel through many obstacles to find Martin's father, Luke. They find a ship lodged in between walls of a large crevasse. In the ship is an ancient hare who tells Martin and his friends about the life of Luke.
Brian Jacques is very descriptive in his writing, but keeps the reader wanting more. An example of this would be "Gonff indicated a spot on the butter-coloured meadow-cream, between a candied chestnut and a honey preserved rose petal."
I personally loved how he flowed his words together like a river of language. The story kept me sitting on the edge of my seat and wanting more. Instead of playing my gameboy or going outside to play, I found myself nestled in my chair reading this book. I highly suggest that you read this book. I have also met Brian Jacques and it was very interesting to listen to what he had to say. He told a story right from the top of his head, that was rather good. This book is rather enjoyable and I suggest the person who reads this to read the book.

Summary: Live the tale or read the story
Review: This Redwall book was different from the rest. A big chunk of the story is a tale being told. Also there is no regular villan to fight. This is one of the better Redwall books because it has less fighting but more action and suspense. I especially liked when they first met Folgrim. He looked weak but he killed two rats in the blink of an eye.
The book started with Martin living at Redwall. He takes a trip to the North shore. He leaves with some close friends. They find a band of weasels that are going to cook a squirrel. Once they free the squirrel, they find out his name is Chugger. His grandmother died one day so he went out on his own. They soon find shrews and an otter name Folgrim. Once at North shore, they take a ship to the tall rocks. There they find part of Luke's crew. One tells the story about Luke.
You must read Martin the warrior first. This was another great book from Brian Jaques and an awesome book from Redwall.

Summary: A Definite Page-Turner!
Review: The Legend of Luke is one of the best fantasy books written. It tops off the history of the famed Warrior of Redwall, Martin, as he goes in search of his home and long lost father. The scenes are descriptive, the characters, songs, and settings are wonderful, and Mr. Jacques has certainly written a best seller once again. It has the mixture of hapiness, humor, and sadness that make a great book. I couldn't stop readng. This book is truly a splendid book. I could read it a thousand times! If you like the Redwall series, this is one you CANNOT miss.

Summary: Great book!
Review: I really liked this book. Trimp the Rover hedgehog goes to Redwall Abbey. It's under construction. She helps build by singing a hauling shanty about Martin's father, Luke. Martin becomes depressed, so Gonff, Dinny, and Trimp take him on an adventure.
My favorite part is the song about Saint Ninian's.

Review: This is the 12 book in the red wal series. It is the prequel and sequel to mossflower. In legend of Luke Martin the Warrior, Gonf and Young Dinny go on a quest to find out what happens to martins fateher luke. In it we learn that luke Died shortly after kiling the Vile Dark star a vile vermin corsair who murder his wife. For those of you who read Martin the Warrior you know what becomes of Martin after his father leaves him behind. Log a log is back so is delight ful Fedd and Cogs sweet old Bell of Brochhall is back to. If you like this book I also recomennd Mossflower and Martin the Warrior for the are the only other books that martin is in that is a Major character. Tell redwall encyloped that there source of books that Martin is in accurate. Sir he is dead and nimare character in the other but he should still be on the list.

Summary: One of the worst
Review: I can't believe I actually liked Brian Jacques' work once!
His views on good and evil are completely simpleminded and his philosophy is one that will not work in the real world.
Rats, ferrets, weasels, and other "vermin types are "bad guys", so you can kill them without a thougt. Oh, and they're stupid as well, and so easy to slay the whole tale seems for nothing.
Mice, Squirrels, and cute little critters are "good guys", so if one of them gets killed everyone mourns.
Not with Jacques' bad guys, as a weasel's dead body is something Redwallers wouldn't mind seeing.
No grey area. I've always thought this series rubbish, ever since "Outcast of Redwall" came out. Stop after book 7,"The Bellmaker". You won't regret it.
Either I can't stand Jacques' black-and-white views on good and evil, the series has gone downhill, or it was terrible in the first place, but I didn't realize it.
The characterization is poor and unbelievable.
The plotline is driven by a protagonist's desire for revenge.
The musical interludes and parts where characters showed off their juggling tricks were annoying. They were what marred these books in the first place!

Summary: Legend of Luke- Suspenseful book full of excitem
Review: Do you like a good book that keeps you reading? You will not be able to put this book down. Martin goes out with some good friends to find out about his father. As the story of Luke unfolds, Martin sees the hard ships, like Luke's wife dieing, and the victories his father goes through. But Martin has his own adventures too. This is a most read book for young and old. This book will leave you amazed. -Brian

Summary: Is Avenging A Death More Important Then Your Only Son?
Review: Another fasinating, yet sad tale, of a father that abandons his son to avenge his wife's death, and a son that wishes to know more about his father. It begins when Trimp, a hedgehog who happens upon Redwall, and a song from the northlands that stirs Martin the Warrior's desire to find out who his father really was, and if he's still alive. Battling obsticles along the way, Martin and his friends find the answers in the remains of a red ship, and Martin finds out the truth of his father's rage against a pirate captian, swearing to end his evil, even if it meant leaving his only son. Of the books I've read, this is probably the saddest, but it was well written, and the artwork was beautiful, but it seemed the Mr. Jacques tried to glorify Luke's want for vengence. I didn't agree with it, but he was a brave charecter. I can agree with that.
