Summary: Readyourbook
Review: I discovered these books accidently by seeing the PBS show Redwall with my children (13 and 9, a girl and a boy). We all fell in love with the stories and the author, Brian Jacques, who spoke at the end of each episode. We bought the entire series, at least the 16 he has written ( so far) and have spent the summer reading them. The characters just sweep you into their world and you become emotionally involved with the story of how and why Martin developed into a warrior, what it cost him and how those experiences colored his world everafter. A must read for families together. There are moral lessons in the story that even the youngest child can comprehend, because they can relate to the animal characters; as diverse a group as you are ever likely to encounter, and wish you would.

Summary: THIS IS AN AMAZING BOOK!
Review: I have just finished this book about three or so days ago and I loved it! I have also read Redwall and loved it! I highly recommend that you read this book! If you are not a fan of Brian Jacques books you will be! The characters are richly described. Brian Jacques makes his characters overflow with life! The feasts that he describes will make you hunger as you read it! There is so much exciting things that go on that keep you on the edge of your seat with a tremendous urge to flip the page! Brian Jacques describes battles so vividly that you feel like you're an onlooker in the story. I highly recommend that you READ THIS BOOK! I am now reading Salamandastron and I think that it is even better than Martin the Warrior! My only complaint is that you can not rate this book as a ten star book!

Summary: Mitton's Martin the Warrior
Review: I want to start out by saying that this book had a very good plot. Luke the warrior Martins son wanted to be a warrior. There was an oath he swore of not to give his sword up and he got it taken. Martin didnt want to go back like this so he went on a journey, from being in slavery, from running, his own adventure. He saved people along the way and had a dream to get his sword back. Find out if he did. This book deserves 5 starts because of how the climax worked out. It left you gessing what was going to happen. This was an excellent book for ages 10+.

Summary: Best Book by Brian Jacques!!
Review: If Mossflower was Lord of the Rings, then this is surely Sparticus. In this story, our hero is imprisoned, and when he refuses to bend to the rule of the evil tyrant he is tortured and left to die as a meal for mouse-eating birds. But Martin escapes... and plans his REVENGE.I have read Redwall, Matimeo, Salamandastron, Mossflower, and Martin the Warrior so far, and my two favorites are Mossflower and Martin the Warrior. In this book we delve even deeper into the origins of the greatest hero of the Redwall series. We find out where he got his sword, who his first love was, and how he freed the slaves of his homeland and ultimately came to wander into the land of Mossflower all alone. This is a truly epic tale about true love, revenge, loyalty, and the lonely life a true warrior is destined to lead. Superbly written, action-packed, and ultimately deeply sad and heartfelt, this is a book that demands to be read and re-read. If you enjoyed other books in the series you owe it to yourself to give this one a read. If you liked Mossflower it's a definite must-buy.

Summary: A book about adventure and danger
Review: Imagie this: you are a small mouse and your warrior father goes off to sea for the rest of his life to fight evil searats and leaves you only his manificent sword. The is the predicament Martin is in at the beginning of the book. To make things worse he is then captured by the evil stoat Bardrang, and kept as a slave. Years later a mouse and her mole friend help him and his friends escape but he ends up being separated from them in a sea storm. The book then breaks off as Felldon, the squirrel, and Brome, the mouse, meet some travelors and go back to Badrangs Palace to try and free more slaves. Meanwhile, Martin, Rose the mouse, and Grumm the mole, set off to gather an army back a Rose's village. The succeed and the book ends with teh arriors reuniting in the dramatic one on one face off between martin and Badrang. I would recomment this book to anybody who enjoys adventure. There's much more than what I have told you in the review.

Summary: Martin The Warrior
Review: Martin the Warrior was a very enjoyable book to read. The author, Brian Jacques, used plenty of detail to describe the characters and the settings. The story is quite an interesting one. Martin, the main character was enslaved s a young mouse. The story line takes you through his and other's journeys to freedom and "home." The story is actually a story within a story; a traveler tells the story to a congregatoin. It starts out, with Martin being enslaved by Badrang, the tyrant, whose hoard captures all the creatres living along the coast. Whlie Martin is a slave he meets many and also meets some people on the "outside" that eventually help him, and become focal characters in the story.
As already stated, I really enjoy the great detail that is typical of all the Brian Jacques books. I can picture all the characters and places with vivid detail. Also, you get to know several character wuite well, not just a few. Alos there is a main plot, but it definitely has several curveballs thrown into it. However, the additions don't drag on, they actually add much more interest, wnating to know what happens, and basically it doesn't feel quite as much like a "Disney movie" it's not ridiculously predictable.
My main dislike of the book was that it was very hard to keep everything straight and remember which character was which. At points in the story there are three or four separate groups going independently. Since it can't be written all together, it's also quite hard to keep a mental time line. Also there were tons of character, for a moderately short book. All of the characters had abnormal names making it even harder to keep track of who was who.
Overall though I would recommend this to late elementary to early middle school. So if you're looking for an adventorous story, or are a fan of Brian Jacques, this is a great book to pick up.
