Summary: Redwall
Review: Redwall is an excellent book. It starts off with a young clumsy mouse who eventually saves the inhabitants of Redwall. The adventures of him and his many friends are funny and irresistable. He meets many types of creatures along the way: sparrows, shrews, mice, rats, and an adder. There are many battles throughout his journey. He eventually completes his quest and confronts his arch enemy. He is no longer a clumsy young mouse, but the Warrior of Redwall.
I recommend this book for those 10 and over who are very mature. It is an awesome book. It does have a few very bad words. It has some violence in it, but not too strong. Overall, it is extremely cool.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent
Review: These books are aimed at the 9-12 year old age group, but as a 35 year old kid at heart, I've got to tell you, I love the Redwall books.

The characters are loveable, the villains are "hateable", the scenery is vivid. I love everything about these books.

I highly recommend!

Summary: AWSOME!!!!!!!
Review: This has got to be one the best books ever. The only book better is the vile village by lemony snicket. It starts off somewhat boring but don't worry it gets better. There is even a war but not as bad as the Lord of The Rings. It's great for building vocabulary and is a great book overall. This book is somewhat expensive but it is most definetly worth it. I'd give it 5 thumbs up if I had 5 thumbs.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A sweet book
Review: This is a good book.The characters are funny and the dialogue is great.Definitely 5 stars.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good, but not as good as others
Review: I like the Redwall series. I have all of them sitting on my shelf and I've read all of them 2 or 3 times. As the first book in the series, you can tell that Brian Jacques is still creating the world of Redwall Abbey. One can see markings of humans - a church, horse and cart, stuff like that - that doesn't appear in the rest of the series.

Although it lacks some in comparison to other Redwall books, I still recommend reading this one first, and the others in the order they were published.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fight fight inner light!
Review: Here's something I believed prior to reading the book "Redwall". In the fantasy literature genre of juvenile books boys enjoy, writers tend to have a great deal of difficulty writing strong female characters. Just look at C.S. Lewis's "The Narnia Chronicles", where women are not allowed to fight, for example. Normally, such books will contain a single strong female character and that's the end of that. There's one in Lloyd Alexander's books, one in the "Wrinkle in Time" books, one in "The Lord of the Rings" books, one in the "Harry Potter" books, etc.

That said, imagine my surprise and delight when I discovered "Redwall". The story of a small mouse defending his Abbey has become a modern classic. And how many female warriors are in this book? I honestly can't say because they FILL the pages of this rightly popular series. Where else can you say that? Boys love the "Redwall" books, and for good reason. These readable little gems of fiction are packed with beautiful language, images, and prose that teach without seeming to. Want your kid to learn words like "tranquility" and "sibilant"? Want them to be interested in something that takes violence and war with an attitude that isn't flip or offhand? Want them to be entranced by fine storytelling? Finally, do YOU want to read something yourself that draws heavily on British culture and traditions without falling into remarkably dull passages for pages at a time? If so, I recommend "Redwall" wholly and without hesitation. And with its books being cranked out regularly by Mr. Jacques, I'm happy to say that there will be more and more of these beauties as time goes by.

Summary: Redwall!
Review: An enchanting tale about a young mouse (Matthias) who finds out who he really is when evil arrives at Redwall.
At redwall Abbey, peace thrives until an evil sea rat plunges Redwall knee-deep into a battle for the abbey. THough the creatures are unskilled in the art of war, many wooodlanders extend a paw to help. In the midst of this, a young novice realizes he is the incarnation of the abbey's ancient hero and patriot. With the help of the old gatehouse keeper, Matthias begins a long and perilous quest to redicover the ancient sword of Martin the Warrior.
This book has increased my vocabulary, and made me more aware of the wonderfulness of the literary world.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Book
Review: I loved Redwall. This book was a heartwarming tale about th peaceful creatures of Redwall Abbey defending themselves from an evil rat lord. The strategic planning and surprises of the book are great. I look forward to more Jacques books in the future. I am on Mattimeo right now, and although the plots follow the same pattern, they are still great books. If you read them more pages at a time they are even better. I hope this review was hslpful to you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I haven't stopped reading the series since I read this book
Review: Redwall is a book that people who like animals will love as mice from Redwall Abbey known as Martin the Warrior and Matthias battle bad creatures known as Clooney the Scourge, Slagar the Cruel, and Malcariss who are trying to take over Redwall.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Great Book of Redwall
Review: I liked Redwall written by Brian Jacques. It is a great book about a young mouse named Matthias that grows up to be a warrior like the legendary Martin the Warrior. He lives in Redwall abbey, which is now under attack by the fearsome Cluny. The abbey learns to unite itself in order to save their peaceful home. Matthias learns the art of war as he leads the defenders while trying to find Martin's sword. If found, the sword could help save the abbey from destruction. I hope you will take the opportunity to read this book. It is a great book that shows how individuals can unite for the common good, as well as being a great book for just reading.
