Summary: A great book for all readers!
Comment: My mom read this book to me when I was very young... fifteen years ago, or more. I remember being skeptical at first to hear of mice and squirrels who could talk and wear swords and read books, etc. but this passed after a couple chapters.
The Redwall series is really a treasure of fantasy writing for kids of an appropriate age (I'd say 3rd grade for some, but middle school for others), and Jacques is an expert at weaving in poems, songs, riddles, and a refreshing prose into his stories to make the come alive.
I enjoyed these books for years and though I'm a little too stuffy to get into them any more, I'd still encourage parents of young readers to check these out, as they're creative, entertaining, and moderately challenging reads for kids.
One warning -- the books can be somewhat graphic... they're mice, hares, etc. but they still fight and die in the stories just like people in other books... so make sure your kids are mature enough to deal with the notion of 'death' and PG violence.

Summary: I don't know why this is in the juvenile section...
Comment: Man I love this book. But I always find it in the juvenile section. Have these people READ the stuff that happens? There is at least 1 death every 5 pages! Even if it's cute animals doing it, death is death. Good book though. Highly recommended. In my top 10 favorite list.

Summary: Cute little animals that... kill each other. Yay!
Comment: Redwall has to be one of the most exciting books of all time in what I consider to already be a very exciting series. Though I suppose many people are familiar with the traditional story book talking animal characters, Jacques takes the genre a step further to create a fantastical world of cutesy talking animals... that totally kick butt, to put it graphically. Redwall is a community that strives for peace, and yet it is also a community that will always defend itself and the week. Jacques makes every character a true individual, and his quick-but-vivid storytelling makes the book a rush to read.

Summary: Beware
Comment: Redwall is a great story about animals trying to defend themselves from the evil ones, but I would be careful who I recommend it to. I enjoyed most of it, with the exception of some of the rough scenes wherein someone dies or is tortured. The author doesn't make a great deal of it, yet they are descriptive and perhaps too much for younger readers, or listeners... an adult can handle it fine.

Redwall Abbey, tranquil home to a community of peace-loving mice is threatened by Cluny, the Scourge - the evil-one-eyed rat warlord - and his battle-hardened horde of predators. Cluny is certain that Redwall will fall easily to his fearsome army, but he hasn't bargained for the courage and strength of the combined forces of the Redwall mice and their loyal woodland friends...
