Search - Redwall

For the sort of book this is, I suppose it wasn't bad. The biggest flaw I found was that I just didn't feel pulled into the book, not really engaged. Perhaps it's unfair, but I keep wanting to compare books to my experience with The Golden Compass, which I absolutely loved and felt enchanted by. This book fell flat as far as that was concerned.

I also felt like it was a little predictable, at least from an adult reading perspective. Of course the evil rat Cluny can't be victorious until the end…otherwise, why would the book be so long? Each time the mice thwarted the rats plans, I felt like I could see it coming from a mile away.

A powerful tale of fantasy in the tradition of Watership Down

Fun, wholesome fantasy/adventure for kids of all ages. Adults looking for a light read will also enjoy it.

Jacques wrote Redwall a long time before he wrote any of its sequels. I read a copy from the library when I was still a child and enjoyed it immensely. As an adult, I was quite pleased when sequels started appearing in the bookstore! I still find the courageous mice and other animals as charming as ever.

When the peaceful life of ancient Redwall Abbey is shattered by the arrival of the evil rat Cluny and his villainous hordes, Matthias, a young mouse, determines to find the legendary sword of Martin the Warrior which, he is convinced, will help Redwall's inhabitants destroy the enemy.

I never actually got a chance to read this book but my brother enjoyed it and he doesnt read much

Very intertaining read.

not my thing, characters are too mundane, but people rave about it, excellent condition.

I thouroughly enjoy the Redwall series by Brian Jacques; if you read them when you were younger, the books lose little enjoyment for older readers.

If you haven't read any of the Redwall series you NEED to read this book. And if you haven't read them in a while start with this one :D Its such a great book, spans all ages!

Wonderful characters~ violent not for young kids

This is the most delightfull tale I have read in years. The first book of an equally delightfull series. The mouse apprentice monk Matthias picks up the sword of Martin the warrior and goes in defense of Redwall Abbey against the infamous rat Cluny The Scourge and his rat army.

first in the Redwall series. Wonderful for preteen and teens

A very engaging read!
