Marlfox (Redwall, Book 11)

Rating:
Summary: Mostly an adventure story, Marlfox also has mystery.
Review: Marlfox is about 3 young friends: Songbreeze Swifteye, a squirrel, Dannflor Reguba, a squirrel, and Dippler, a shrew. They go out in search of the famous tapestry of Martin the Warrior. It is also about Marlfoxes who are attacking Redwall abbey.

Marlfoxes live on an island in the middle of a lake that is surrounded by dangerous pike shoals. One thinks they can vanish whenever they want to. A Marlfox is black in color and has pale eyes. A Marlfox always carries an axblade and has a cape. In all, Marlfoxes are very dangerous creatures.

My favorite character is Dannflor. My favorite part is when Dippler, Dannflor, and Burble, who is a watervole, get sucked into a hole in a cliff that goes underground. Guess what happens next? I like it because there is high drama and it keeps you at the edge of your seat.

Like the ten other books in the Redwall series, Marlfox is mostly an adventure story, but it also has some mystery and some fantasy.

I think that Marlfox is a great book and whoever likes reading will like this book.

Summary: I recommend Marlfox to anyone who likes food and adventure.
Review: Marlfox

When I first started reading Redwall (the first book in the Redwall series) it just didn't grab me. A year or two later I tried it again. I loved it. I read the other nine books in a year's time. Now I've read Marlfox, the eleventh book.

Written by Brian Jacques and illustrated by Fangorn this captivating story is full of excitement, suspense, emotion and drama. Sometimes you will laugh and sometimes you will cry. Also, sometimes you will be mad at the Marlfoxes.

The Marlfoxes are greedy, ruthless, and down right mean.They terrorize Mossflower and even kill each other! The mother Marlfox killed her husband so she could be queen, a daughter poisons the mother so she can be queen, and then a brother pushes her into a lake full of hungry pike so he can be king!

Because Queen Silth, the mother Marlfox, demands to be surrounded by beauty and calm, she sends her children to steal beautiful things. In their plundering, they take the Redwall Tapestry. The irony is that there is a beheaded fox on the tapestry.

When the Marlfoxes steal the Redwall Tapestry, the heroes Songbreeze and Dannflor, squirrels, and Dippler, a shrew, leave the Abbey to get it back. As they search, they meet Burble the water vole and make other friends and enemies.

I warn you. Do not read Brian Jacques on an empty stomach. As always, this book will send you to the kitchen drooling! In Marlfox, he describes cheeses, bread, flans, cakes, puddings, trifles, tarts, scones, crumbles, hot root soup, and deeper'n ever turip'n'tater'n'beetroot pie (made by the moles).

I recommend Marlfox to anyone who likes animals, food, and adventure.

Summary: Michael ...
Review: The summerization of this bok can be explained in different ways. At the beginning it tells about different groups of characters encountering different bad guys, which are all marlfoxes. Six marlfoxes, two each go out and meet three groups of animals. All of the good guys go to Redwall to warn the villagers that marlfoxes are among the Mossflower Woods. They all meet up at Redwall and team up against the marlfoxes that try to steal the tapestry of Redwall. One by one good guys and bad guys are killed and murdered at Redwall. The marlfoxes steal the tapestry, and the smartest, slyest marlfox, Mokkan, steals it from the other marlfoxes. After that four young warriors from Redwall go out to retrieve it. Meeting many friends along the way, the four young warriors travel to the Island of Marl. This is where the marlfox Queen Silth lives, later on to be Queen Lantur because of Silth's death.
With help the four young warriors get to the island and free some of the slaves. The slaves help to fight the guards on the island. Three of the four warriors go to the king's room to take back the tapestry. The escaping marlfox, Mokkan, is later strangled and drowned by one of the slaves. In the end the four young warriors become leaders of their groups or tribes.
