Rating:  Summary: Very, very good Review: I read Redwall this year (I'm a freshman in high school). Even though it's "below my reading level," I found it more interesting than books by authors like Stephen King and Jane Austen. It wasn't because King's and Austen's books were too hard-- I've read books by those authors and they weren't easy or hard. Redwall was just more interesting. The plot was more fun, the characters more real (even though they were all animals), the writing more... charming.
Rating:  Summary: EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review: The Redwall books are the best books I have ever read. I have read every one. The Pearls of Lutra,The Long Patrol, and Mattimeo are the best!
Rating:  Summary: Great I never put it down! Review: I started reading Redwall and other books by Brian Jaques when I was 8 1/2 and I have never been able to get enuff of him ever sense.
Rating:  Summary: Brian Jacques is the BEST!! Redwall Rules Review: Mr. Jacques is the best author of all time. He has a great imagination. Who cares if it is about animal woodlanders? I sure as heck don't. He writes "good stuff". It is not imappropriate for young kids. My friends and I love his books. He is very creative. And again...Redwall Rules!" Sincerely your loyal Redwall Reader, Ben Fisher END
Rating:  Summary: Very entertaining and imaginative! Review: Redwall is a book to be enjoyed by the whole family. I'm a mom who became engrossed with Redwall while listening to my husband read to our 8-year old daughter. I was entertained by the plot, the creative use of words, and more
Rating:  Summary: Great story; People will love this book. Review: A great book for those who are fans of "Watership Down. It is a tale of fun, fantasy, and adventure. The great tale of a quest to find a weapon, and to save the abbey. Once you read this book, you will want to read the rest of them.

Rating:  Summary: HAVE SWORD (almost)--WILL AVENGE! Review: The peaceful mice and woodland creatures of Redwall Abbey find themselves suddenly, without provocaton, under siege. The enemy wants not only their lives, but their sacred abbey itself--to convert into a fortress for murder and carmage in the surrounding Mossflower Wood. Who can repel the vicious, audacious leader of the rat pack, Cluny the Scourge, (so named because he uses his long tail as a weapon)? Bigger than life and twice as evil, he uses his one eye and whip-like tail to convert rats and other lowlife animals into his soldiers/slaves for his personal reign of horror. If only the ancient hero of the abbey, Martin the Warrior, could return to life--HE would defend them all from this vile dictator! But the champion's body lies in a secret tomb; his valiant sword has disappeared and all that remains of the legend is a faded tapestry hanging in the Abbey. Alas, Redwall needs a champion now, but the best they can proudce at short notice is a bumbling young novice named Matthias. The three major sections of the book (The Wall, The Quest, The Warrior) reveal the transformation of this young apprentice as he embarks on his private odyssey: to locate the Sword and slay the Scourge. Redwall is an abbey of Healing, not of Religion, but the Father Abbot speaks with gentle authority as he strives for harmony among the various creatures. Many species must cooperate to defend the Abbey, as we witness a catalog of medieval siege tactics. Cluny's cruelty and diabolical schemes produce unlikely allies in the Resistance, as well as dangerous games of counter-espionage; suspicion and treachery stalk the innocent and the unwary. If Martin is encouraging Matthias, why does he prove so elusive? His hints are veiled riddles and word puzzles--ancient mysteries to be solved by the combined wisdom of both young and venerable minds. Cooperation and dedication to Justice are underlying themes, but the story rips right along, switching suddenly from the thrusts of the attackers to the parries of the defenders. Until the ultimate Confrontation, which will determine the fate of Redwall Abbey. There is no end to Jacques' inventive plot, with frequent sudden twists and foiled schemes. This fabulous Fantasy which recreates the medieval world will delight, amaze and enthrall the Reader.
Rating:  Summary: Very, Very good book Review: This book was very good. It had courage, action, and romance. I would reccomend this book to anyone who likes fantasies.
