Summary: Best of the 'Redwall' series!! Don't miss "Mossflower"!
Review: "Mossflower" is the story of a wandering warrior mouse named Martin who comes to Mossflower woods. There he finds out that the woodlanders there are being ruled under the tyrant Verdauga, the wild cat who has a fortress, Kotir. Martin is captured for trespassing and carrying a sword, which belonged to his father. Gingivere, Verdauga's son says to let Martin go but Tsarmina, his sister, orders him to be killed but Verdauga says to just throw him in the dungeons for a while because he saw that Martin is a real warrior. Tsarmina loses her temper and breaks Martin's sword in two. She then orders that the broken sword hilt be put around Martin's neck. Before Martin is taken away though, he vows that he will kill Tsarmina for breaking his sword.Unfortunately for Martin, Tsarmina murders her father, putting the blame on Gingivere. She throws him into the dungeons then puts herself in her father's place, now to be the tyrant of Kotir and Mossflower. The woodlander animals flee to the safety of Bella the Brokhall, a female badgers, place. They then try to concoct a plan to stop Tsarmina from her reign of terror. Winter passes, then spring arrives, with Martin still forgotten in the dungeons. He tries to talk to Gingivere but is always quieted by the soldiers. One day though, a mouse named Gonff, the Prince of Mousethieves, is put in the same cell as Martin for stealing food from Kotir. Fortunately, Gonff is also an escape artist and they flee from Kotir, Martin promising to return to rescue Gingivere someday. Martin joins up with the woodlanders to stop Tsarmina. He makes friends with Lady Amber, queen of the squirrels, Skipper the leader of the otters, Dinny the mole, and more. Bella asks Martin, Gonff, and Dinny to venture to the mountains of Salamandastron to ask for help from her badger grandfather. With only an ancient poem to guide them, they set out to Salamandastron. Meanwhile, two young hedgehogs who try to pretend to be warriors are caught by Tsarmina's soldiers and are put in two cells on either side of Gingivere's cell. Gingivere manages to make tunnels from their cells to his cell so they can be together. The Mossflower animals get help from the Mask, the mysterious brother of Skipper, who is a master of disguises, to rescue the two hedgehogs and Gingivere. Sorry, I can't tell you anything more because it'll spoil the story! You'll have to read to find out of Martin and his two friends are able to reach Salamandastron safely and if the woodland animals are able to save Gingivere and the two young hedgehogs. The best of the Redwall series, "Mossflower" is lots of fun. In my opinion, Tsarmina is one of the best villains in all of Brian Jacques' books. I also love the characters of Martin, Gonff, Columbine (Gonff's sweetheart), Lady Amber, Skipper, and Mask. For those who haven't read any of the books, I suggest you read "Martin the Warrior" first (if you want to read in time order), then "Mossflower", though all of the books can stand by itself. ENJOY!!

Summary: Amazingly Enough.....Better than the first!
Review: In this thrilling prequel to Redwall you learn how the great Martin the Warrior freed Mossflower from evil wildcats, weasles stoats, rats, and foxes. More than that though, you learn Martin's history and many other fun characters such as Gonnf, Dinny, and many many more. There is alot of action, suspense, mystery, and much more. If you liked the first one you'll love this!

Summary: A Fine Edition to the series
Review: If you liked (or loved) "REDWALL", you'll adore "Mossflower" The latter has oodles of characters, just like the first one, and also the first of Brian Jacques' great Dibbun babies: Ferdy and Coggs. Martin the Warrior fights the vicious vermin of the demented Tsarmina. He and the jolly Gonff, Prince of Mousethieves, join with Dinny and Log-a-Log Big Club to find Boar the Fighter. This book is even better than the first one. There are more feasts and battles and plenty of adventure! It also features bats and toads and three monsters: Stormfin, the Gloomer, and another one whose name eludes me. Needless to say, it's a really great book!

Summary: Fabulous Book!!!
Review: Wow! I was amazed at the second Redwall Book! I knew it was going to be just as good as Redwall, but i didn't expect this much! This book is about Martin the Warrior, the mouse who founded Redwall Abbey. Martin then meets Gonff, Dinny, and Log-a-log, and many other new friends who help him on his journey to defeat Tsarmina the evil wild cat, and bring Boar the Fighter back from Salamandastron to help save Mossflower. Anway, I absoloutley loved this book, and i so cant wait to read the next one. Also, look out for the TV show on PBS based on the redwall series. Its really cute!!!

Summary: Mossflower
Review: I really enjoyed Mossflower. Brain Jacques has a great style of writing that just pulls you into the book. All of the Redwall books are wonderfully written. They are filled with adventure and excitement, each page seem's to draw you into the world that Brian Jacques has created. It's almost as if you are there with the characters. Brian Jacques rivals J.R.R.Tolkien in his mastery of captivating the reader in his writing. Anyone who has enjoyed Tolkien will enjoy the Redwall series by Brian Jacques.

Review: I thought Mossflower was exciting and interesting. It was definately one of the best books I have ever read. There was adventure after adventure and each one better than the one before. You get so involved with the book that you can almost see Sunflash walking in front of you. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good story.

Summary: An Upbeat, Fast-paced Fantasy
Review: Although I enjoyed the loyalty of the characters, and the comical acts put on by the evil Queen Tsarmania, this book wasn't quite my type. It is totally a "just for fun" book, as in the fact that you don't exactly glean a lot from reading it other then some humorous moments. Also, the characters are so plainly black and white, good or bad, making it very fairytale/folktaleish. Although I'm glad I got a taste of this type of literature by reading this book, I don't think I'd read another in the series. Give it a try though!
