Summary: great read-aloud
Review: The story telling is quite good. And the language is fluid and clever -- great fun to read aloud. This is our first adventure with the Redwall characters. While I don't find it quite as engaging as, say, the Harry Potter books -- I'm not tempted to read ahead after my son goes to sleep -- we are enjoying it very much.But what's up with Killconey the ferret being a "he" in some chapters and a "she" in others? Do I have a freak edition or am I the only one to notice?

Summary: great book
Review: This is the book that made me start to read. It is amazing how he does the speech for the characters. My personal favorite charcter was Basil Stag Hare who's speech I liked the best. I give it 5 stars because I like it a lot.

Summary: A refreshing break from the other young adult novels
Review: This book seems to invite the imaginations of all who read it to come out from the shadows of everyday life to come and play in the good old-fashioned legend. This book takes an unlikely hero, being that he is a mouse, and turns him into an idol that the younger generation can look up to. The essential theme of good versus evil sets a great background for the tale Jacques so carefully weaves. Younger and older generations will be easily carried away with the stories of the anthropomorphic animals and thier struggles set in a medieval abbey. Beautifully mastered, Redwall is sure to be a treat for everyone.

Summary: the amazing redwall
Review: The book Redwall, by Brian Jaques was very exciting. Every page was filled with adventure and action. Jacues made the story come to life. Matthias was very brave and a good main character. I liked this book because it was well written and made me wonder what was going to happen next. I liked Cluny and Matthias, the two main characters, they were enimies. Cluny was a big warrior rat and he had a giant tail. Matthias was a little, brave couragious, mouse that heard stories of redwall's hero Martin and wanted to be just like him. During the war between the people of redwall and Cluny's horde Matthias found Martin's sword and defeated the horde. I loved this book. The only bad thing was I got confused when they would switch from talking about redwall to cluny. Therefore I rate the book with a four star.

Summary: This is a "kid's" book?
Review: I always saw the "Redwall" novels promoted as "young reader" books. Being a fan of kidlit, I decided to give "Redwall" a go. My 3 stars is given with mixed emotions. On one hand, the book has extremely clever parts. The riddles and rhymes about Martin's sword are pretty well done. The characters, especially "subsidiary" characters like Basil Stag Hare are likeable and interesting. The story is *extremely* suspenseful in places - it would be good at holding the interest of many "reluctant readers", I would bet. But the one thing that puts me off is the level of violence in the novel. Yes, I know it is meant to be a fairly simple story pitting good against evil. But it shocks me somewhat that the members of the Abbey - supposedly a peaceful and healing band - do not express more regret or reservation over the carnage they must deal. (Also, not to give too much away, but several very sympathetic characters die in the novel - I know some kids would be very upset by this). Perhaps this is my 30-year-old sensibility intruding on an adventure story for young teens. I don't know. But the amount of killing and swordplay in a book that I took to be aimed at 12 or so year olds was startling to me. Then again, I found parts of "The Hobbit" a lot scarier upon an "adult aged" rereading than I did as a kid... At any rate, although the novels are promoted for kids, if you have extreme reservations about violence/war/death being depicted in the books your kids read, you may wish to go elsewhere...(I say this because these books are heavily, and surprisingly, promoted in a small catalog that otherwise deals with "understanding other people" and "peace promoting" toys)

Summary: Redwall begins the series wonderfully.
Review: Redwall begins the series wonderfully. Brian Jacques describes the combat and defeat with such detail, and the way he describes the hare dialogue is amazing. When you are in a quiet place and reading Redwall, the combat is enough to make you feel you're in it. My favorite part is the rhymes Martin the Warrior writes to Methuselah and Matthias about his lost scabbard and shield. Redwall is full of comedy, mystery, and sadness. I enjoy reading the Redwall series, and you will, too.

Summary: Best Book Ever!
Review: This is the best book ever because of the great elaboration that Brian Jacques put into it. It is very detailed and is great for all types of people. I have recomended it to everyone and anyone that has the sense to read it tells me I was right. Once you read and enjoyed this awesome book you will want to read the rest of the books that he Mr.Jacques has written. If you are looking for an action suspense thriller this is the book for you. I am also waiting for the newest Redwall book called The Legand Of Luke. Overall this is the BEST BOOK EVER because it has everything a book should and has over other 10 books to read if you enjoy it. Hope.. wait I know you will enjoy this book. Brian Jacques I hope you keep writing these wonderful books.
