Brian Jacques is by far my favourite author! The entire Redwall series has captured my imagination, and is my inspiration for writing a novel of my own. The Badger Lords are my favorite characters because of how much they remind me of my Viking ancestors. I await each new Redwall novel with great anticipation. Sure all the villains are really cowards at heart and all the heroes are courageous and noble when it all comes down to it, but despite this pattern he always manages to keep my interest with the various settings of the story, the brain-teasing riddles, and the mouth-watering food. The Redwall cookbook is going to be my number one cookbook of all time. I even cooked Pearl Queen Pudding once just using the directions in his book The Bellmaker, and I loved it(of course I added a few things like honey)! The Redwall series will always intrigue me and it will be one I will be more than happy to read to my children in the future.

i read the first book and thoroughly enjoyed this novel. after reading the second book I noticed that both books had basically the same plot going onto the third book I was still disappointed that the plot had not changed. I quit reading the series after book 4. the books all have the same plot and are quite alike in every way. the characters aren't even having different personalities! they only have different names. even if they where alike they were pretty well written. if there were different plots I would be much more enthralled by Jacques writing style.till it changes I will just have to wait.

I am a Sci-Fi/Fantasy book fan.. I was introduced to these books by my wife who is a children's librarian. She purchased the whole series in paperback for me for a birthday.. I have been reading them in the order they were written since they are really written to be read in that order. I love these books and I am now hooked. These books are a fantasy series originally written for a younger school age audience. But they have garnered a large following among adults. There series has grown into almost a dozen or so books which span several generations of characters and are all intertwined together.The main characters in these books are woodland animals such as mice, and squirrels, and badgers, etc..It is sort of a fantasy based on mice with swords and squirrels with bow and arrows.. They have wonderful adventures such as fighting off invading pirates, going to war to defend their homes and village, going on long journeys of adventure and discovery etc.The author is British and his books have a touch of British charm and humor in them which I found delightful. Imagine a badger that makes wonderful scones.The writing is excellent with wonderful characters and adventures. The author has a real feel for the characters and develops them to quite a depth. These books have everything you could possibly want in a fantasy adventure book and then some real charm and touching writing added in.Search these out and try them for yourself. You won't be sorry.
