For those who like midevil books, Redwall is for u. Its not bad really. Its a series of books related to british animals fighting the forces of evil.

Redwall, is an ancient sand-stone abbey, built in Mossflower country, neighbor to Mossflower wood's. The founder's of Redwall are Abbes Germaine, and Martin the Warrior.

So if u like midevil books, u should read these books.

The author is Brian Jacques.

So the animals are the warriors.... rather than men.......

yea they are pretty cool books.. but they are for younger kids also i read them when i was like 10-12

I love Brian Jacques! I've read nearly all the Redwall series. If you sort of forget about them being animals and enjoy the characters and story its brilliant! I think the animals is really only to mark them out as being good or bad - eg. ferrets and rats are usually bad, mice usually good etc.

true. i've read up 2 number 10. there's 17 in total so far. the ones im tryin to get aren't comin out till the end of february!!

i used to like redwall but evil dies all of the time! i guess i still like it kind of but why does the evil guys ALWAYS DIE.

dunno. in the first 1, Cluny almost had redwall for a sec

evil should win. not always but in a couple of books. Cluny the rat dies right? i didnt finish the book but im guessing he does.

It's amazing how far that series deteriorated as it went on. The first ones were actually very good.

I read alot... I uselly go on like bienges were ill read alot there plots though are like the same...

he dies from Matthias cutting the rope holding the bell in the tower, making it fall on Cluny. then Abbot Mortimor died

I believe that constituted breaking the oath to throw down the sword.

he woulda killed cluny anyway, even if he didn't chop the rope.

i just got Marlfox yesterday

I may have misremembered but I believe the author once said that he composed the plots as he went along - and never suffered from writer's block this way!

wow...

im totaly with you, i liked them, then i read the bellmaker and it put me off. Then again im more into high fantisy then medieval

Great set of book, the best was... i think it was the first with Matis(sp?) and clunie the scerge(sp?) i would realy recoment that anyone who likes reading reads these books.

Matthias and Cluny the Scourge I remember my dad explained that epithet by titling himself, "the scourge of (our then address)" fear

if u could be any character in the books, (including evil,) who would u be?


i'd be Ferhago the Assasin

i read the first few then just sort of stopped

Beast Boy> Nadaz - he wasn't dumb enough to enter into single combat.

true

The best of the lot are:

1-Lord Brocktree
2-Mattimeo
3-The Bellmaker
4-Loamhedge
5-The Pearls of Lutra

Rakkety Tam ranks rather high on there too, but not in the top five.

Outcast of Redwall I liked, solely for Sunflash the Mace. And there's getting to be discrepency in Redwall, since he doesn't write them chronologically. The biggest one is battle cries. In Lord Brocktree, they still call Eulalia the 'ancient battlecry of Slamandastron", but Sunflash created it. Boar the Fighter had a different one. (Brocktree was Sunflash's great grandfather, I do believe)

My favorites involve Martin the Warrior, Outcast of Redwall, Mossflower, (Martin and Boar are just much too badass) Luke the Warrior, (the Luke part anyway) Pearls of Lutra, and Lord Brocktree. I would definitely be Russano the Wise. Or any of the fat cook dudes who live through their whole book. Cuz fat people rule and cooking is awesome.

I love Redwall I`ve read all of them except Rakkety Tam!

I've read that. It was pretty good, it had a wolverine in it; the vermin version of a badger lord.

redwall appeals to old and young, my mother reads them, and can't get enough

I'm reading Taggerung..It's sad how the otter babe's dad gets killed..and then Deyna (the otter babe), is taken by Sawney Rath's clan..and made a vermin

The author also experienced Sawney Rath's stomach pains. As do I disgust
