Summary: EXCELLENT!!! 5 STARS!!! REDWAAALL!!!
Review: This is a great book. I always sort of ignored the REdwall series but when it was recomended to me, and it was supposed to be very good, I read Redwall, the first one. This bookis just packed with events and plots. Action! Adventure! Sword Fighting! Bad Guys! Battles! A Deadly Snake! Even though it kind of starts out slow in the beginning, DON'T STOP READING IT!!! It's about an evil rat named Cluny the Scourge, who wants Redwall, which is an Abbey, home of many woodland creatures and is surrounded by a red wall. When the Abbot of Redwall refuses to give Cluny Redwall, Cluny gets very angry. He gets a huge army and they start attacking Redwall. Redwall has an advantage and a disadvantage. Their advantage is that they have a badger named Constance who is very strong and kills many rats. Their disadvantage is that they don't have swords like Cluny's army, they have wooden staffs that don't do much damage to the rats. Matthias, who is just a mouse, knows that he will need Martin the Warrior's sword, who is a great mouse that protected Redwall long before and all of Redwall adores him. Matthias's friend, Methuselah, finds a riddle on a wall. It tells Matthias that to get the case for the sword, then he has to go through this secret passage. There, he finds another riddle, if I remember correctly, telling him how to get the actual sword. Soon, Matthias is sent on a wild adventure, facing many dangers, trying to get Martin's sword. This book is now my favorite book and that's saying a lot, because I've read many of them. If you are making the mistake that I made (ignoring the Redwall series), then you should buy this book. It is just so good that I can't put how excellent it is in words. A great read and an excellent start to the Redwall series.

Summary: Enter the World of Redwall
Review: I am probably correct when I say that many of you people out there, mainly children, don't like to read. Well, I guess that i could say the same about me, too until I actually decide to pick up a book. But when you pick up this exciting book, you just can't put it down. This book is called Redwall. The adventures of Matthias and his Abbey against the great Cluny the Scurge, will leave you with an everlasting, curious thought on what will happen next. Matthias makes his way from being a clumsy mouse to an adventurous, brave mouse that is seaking the possesions of the great Martin the Warrior, the great warrior of Redwall. And Cluny goes from being the fear in everyone's mind and fire in everyone's eyes to, I think we can beat this guy and, ohhh wow, Cluny the Scurge, I'm so afraid. This well written book, by Brian Jacques, keeps you reeding as he brings you back to the olden' days and makes you feel like you're right there in the action fighting Cluny and Matthias yourself. He makes you feel like you are wondering through the woods just waiting for what will happen next. So pick up this bbok and enter the lives of the animals of Redwall.

Summary: AWESOME!!!
Review: Do you know what I think about this book? I think it is simply AWESOME!!! I think this book is for those people who like murder and bloody and gory stuff like that. You know what I like about this book? The way they say that somebody died. In chapter 4 I remember how they said that Skullface lay in a red mist of death. And how Cluny said that tell the devil Cluny sent you,Skullface. This is only 1 reason I like Redwall. So I reccommend this book. But still there is mild language. Like hell and morons.

Summary: Waiting for the next Harry Potter book? Read this!
Review: Those readers who love intricate fantasy worlds and complicatedplots, with rollicking good action, will enjoy this and any of theseveral "Redwall" books by Brian Jacques. To describe the main storyline sounds almost silly. Mice and other woodland creatures living in an abbey must protect themselves from the evil creatures, usually weasels and ferrets, who would take over their riches. The characters are richly drawn, and the action is at times intense. Sometimes a character dies, sometimes a character allows the bent for revenge to transform them into less than good--just like in real life. Brian Jacques creates intricate plots and subplots, but always keeps the main action moving forward. He delights readers with his dialects and language variants of some of the creatures, most noteably the moles and sparrows. The peculiar speech of these characters is a challenge to anyone who reads this aloud, but my kids, who are now 10 and 14, can't get enough of these books for family reading time. If you haven't discovered the world of Redwall, it's time you did!

Summary: Like a beautiful dream, and you never want it to end
Review: The Redwall books are now without a doubt my favorites, my teacher recommended them to me and I fell in love with them. When I'm reading, I can actually feel what's happening, like I'm there watching it happen. I will read for hours, not wanting the book to end. I know this'll sound strange, but when I'm done with the book I feel a terrible sadness, I'll cry even, because suddenly the magic of the words will vanish. I also feel this horrible despairing feeling because I realize that I'm really not there, watching and helping the wonderful characters. I want to be there so badly, that I just start sobbing myself silly. When I'm reading, I feel like I'm living in two worlds; the first is wonderful Mossflower, or the Abbey, or Salamandastron, and second is the vague feeling of the real world around me. You may be surprised that a fifth grader can feel this emotion, but it happens to me all the time. I truly love these books, and I encourage everyone to read them, because even though the perfectly woven tale will end, the only way it can end is for you to start at the beginning. :-) Lail

Summary: GREAT BOOK
Review: This book is enchanting. It seems childish at first, a fairy tale about mice and rats. BUt then you see the epic myth that is thrown at you. THe mice is just a cover up. THe plot is great. Matthias the mouse must find a lost sword to protect the awesome Redwall Abbey from the evil band of rats led by the despicable Clooney,er Cluny, the Scourge. It's really meant for my age people, teens and preteens in middle school. The book is a good 400 pages long(a little less) and is filled with lots of blood and gore. A CG animated movie of this would be number 1 in the Box OFfice the first weekend.

Summary: Redwall
Review: Brian Jacques's first Redwall book is fantastic! Full of adventure and excitement, it will capture any fiction-lover's attention. Matthias, a clumsy, orphaned mouse, is the main character in this compelling story. He was taken in by the peaceful Redwallers at Redwall Abbey,a great sandstone place. It has a beautiful orchard, a nice pond, and nice beasts living there. In the dining hall hangs a magnificent tapestry of Martin the Warrior, the famed warrior and founder of Redwall. The story was, Martin defeated every foe with his sword and then one day vowed to never fight again. He helped build Redwall. The tapestry is the Redwallers' pride. Martin the Warrior was believed to help the Redwallers at troubling times by appearing in their dreams. One fateful day, a large rat with one eye comes. He is Cluny the Scourge, an evil, notorious rat that had a large army. He is looking for a fortress. As soon as he finds Redwall, he decides he wants to invade it and make it his. While he is in Mossflower, he is set on making Redwall his Cluny's Castle. He tries any way to dominate Redwall. Meanwhile, Matthias is trying to prove his worth. He admires and adores Martin. He works out challenging puzzles to find Martin's sword. He basically tries to become like Martin; an undefeatable warrior who fights for justice. Will he succeed? Will Cluny defeat the untrained Redwall army? This tale is truly superb, filled with sadness and delight. You should read it!

Summary: One of the all time greatest books!
Review: This book is a very good book and I encourage others to read it. I myself must admit that I am not a very big book fan, in fact I totally dislike them. It was first recommended to me by one of my cousins and then after that a whole bunch of other people. My first reaction was "THIRTY PAGES! I'D RATHER EAT A BUG!" But I read it anyway because it was on my reading list and I loved it! It all started out with a little mouse named Matthias who lived in Redwall Abbey. Striving to be a great, famous, hero like his ancestor Martin the Warrior, Matthias sets out on a journey to find Martin's lost sword. Mean while an evil rat named Cluny the Scourge and his gang of rats and weasels plans the death of Matthias and the entire Abbey. Matthias battles animals from crows and foxes to even the evil Cluny. While Matthias is away on his journey, Cluny and his horde of rats and weasels attack Redwall. Will Matthias be able to come back and save his Abbey in time and relive as Martin the Warrior, his life long dream? Find out by reading the Redwall series! If you like adventure, fighting, action, and gory books this is the book for you! It has very, awesome, descriptive, deaths and injuries in it like a bunch get poisoned and eaten by a snake, some get burned to death and boiled to death, others fall from great heights to their death or get crushed under giant weights or are stabbed to death. Dozens are shot down with arrows, and one was even knocked off a wagon and crushed under the wheel! Cluny the scourge was missing an eye due to a fight with an unfortunate ferret whose skull is now carried a round on Cluny's staff. I would recommend reading this book because it is the best (and one of the only) books that I have ever read! I might even read the sequels (no...I am not feeling ill, Mrs. Wylie) So I think we all get the point READ IT!

Summary: The Guerilla Union of Shrews! (Read the book to figure out)
Review: Fans of Watership Down and heroic tales of battles and quests will be intrigued with the unique world of personified animals that Brian Jacques has created. Bizarre but equally entrancing, Redwall will captivate readers and keep them prisoner until the very end. The book opens with a description of Redwall Abbey which is owned by an order of monk-like mice and an introduction to Matthias, a clumsy, awkward, "brother-in-training." Matthias, Father Abbot, and the other brothers have lived in relative peace for many long years, providing shelter and care to local woodland residents and all those in need. This humble but satisfying way of life is threatened one summer night when Matthias first lays eyes upon the legendary warlord, Cluny the Scourge, and his horde of rats ready to plunder and pillage. Where these villainous rats have come from is unknown but it is quite clear that Cluny has his one eye set upon claiming Redwall as his stronghold. All that stands between the death and destruction of the entire Mossflower region is the monastery brothers and sisters. Now these practitioners of mercy, healing, and love must become skilled defenders of their home. Young Matthias experiences a tremendous transformation from an orphaned immature mouse to a natural born leader and developing warrior. To save Redwall from its invaders he embarks on a quest to find the lost sword of Martin the Warrior, a founder of their abbey. During his search he discovers his past and destiny, learning valuable lessons of life, honor, and what truly lies in a warrior's heart along the way. Join the mice and their companions as they encounter new friends and enemies during their struggle with the terrible Cluny the Scourge. Redwall is a strangely imaginative and enchanting story that will change your views on furry rodents forever.
