Redwall

Had to go back and pick up the Redwall series. An easy read with plenty of adventure. It’s actually fun re-reading these books as an adult. Looking forward to the next

This book is more of a “classical book”I would say words are for advanced readers and even advanced readers might want to have a dictionary next to them to look up certain words. I would say this book would be for fourth graders. My boy just graduated 2nd grade…and moving on to third grade. We do a lot of classical reading, and I take time to read it with them and highlight all the words we didn’t recognize per chapter and go over them after each chapter to get a better understanding of what’s going on in the chapter. It’s a fun read! There is a series on YouTube on Red Wall as well.

TV Tropes called this "Game Of Thrones with furries", and I can see why. The story is all about a young mouse monk named Matthias and his search for the legendary sword of Martin the Warrior while his friends at Redwall Abbey defend their location from the invasion forces of Cluny the Scourge. However, the story seems more suited for children, as the violence level doesn't go beyond being PG-rated and it's devoid of the mature themes that are part of George R.R. Martin's famous book series. I recommend this to a younger audience that's looking for something similar to Game Of Thrones.

I've heard about this book over the years. After book tubers (Merphy Napier) and podcasts (Worst Bestsellers) had talked about it, I suspected it'd be for me. Woodland creatures: check. Charming food descriptions: check. Just a little bit of battle and tension: check. About a third through I switched to audiobook because I just wasn't keeping pace, though I was happy every time I went to read. I'm so glad I did. The audiobook is so much fun. I think it's appropriately dorky. Love every accent. They're all so good! And I started it from the beginning too, so I got to enjoy rereading parts I couldn't quite place the tone of. The performances solidified that this book is a classic woodland adventure. There are anthropomorphic animals, there are heroics, there are goofy passages, there is very comical yet savage villain... It's got a lot of fun, if this is your thing. Don't like talking animals? You might want to pass. But if it's your thing, it's so much fun. I cannot stress how delightful the food paragraphs are. I can see my inner child playing pretend at camp and making a little mouse feast. It's just adorable. I say that, but there is some violence, but it's the kind that I think is expected of this sort of book. I don't think it's too gruesome. Anyway, highly recommend. I don't get a book high from audiobooks much. And I really didn't expect to want to continue the series.

I was a bit skeptical when I picked up this book, but I was tasked with finding some great fantasy reads for my grandson. I could not have been more pleasantly surprised.At first. I thought this was just a kids book, and decided to give it to Connor with hopes he would enjoy a simple story with childish characters. Wrong! The story morphed into a thrilling adventure based on a young mouse on a quest to save his adopted friends. The characters are truly engaging, the bad guys are really bad, and the story's direction takes all kinds of interesting twists and turns. I am looking forward to buying the next one to read a whole new premise with many new characters.

Made a great gift for my bf who loved this book as a child.

Redwall is the first volume in a series of 15 books that Brian Jacques wrote for a group of orphaned blind children in Liverpool, England that was fortuitously published. It is stated to be for a youthful audience, but it is my experience that it holds charm for all ages. It is beautifully written, well constructed and the tale delightfully resolves so that the reader comes away pleased and reassured that the time was well spent reading the book.The world of Redwall is good and caring, the way we would want the world to be if we could have an environment where those around us cared for the well-being of each other and those who were evil were well defined and doomed for defeat. The characters in Redwall are forest creatures from a mythical and medieval time. The scenes are set in an abbey and a forest. From there we are invited to follow the machinations of those who live in Redwall Abbey and those who try to destroy the tranquil life of those who inhabit the abbey.I used the book with advanced non-native speakers for the charm of the book, the fast-paced plot and the delight of both the the characters and the well-written language. I question whether this series will go down as classical literature, but as Dickens has made his mark on English literature, I suspect that Jacques may well find his place in English literature also. There is also a video series on YouTube that makes it easier for students to follow the flow of the story should they wish to use it. tChildren find the story engaging; my students were equally delighted with the novel and I was pleased to find something that kept the interest of my students as well as building their vocabulary base.

I remember the Redwall books well—first my parents read them to me, and then I read them myself. I think they were what gave me the confidence to tackle big books so early, and I always really enjoyed the stories. I’ve recently wanted to give Redwall to another young scholar and felt it couldn’t hurt to reread it first. Turns out it’s a good, if somewhat light read as an adult as well :) you can tell it’s written to be read aloud as a story to kids, and it’s well-made to that purpose

Llegó con una esquina doblada y otros detalles. Se supone que estuviera nuevo.

Essa é uma edição de bolso americana padrão, mesmo com o maior cuidado ao uso haverão marcas principalmente na lombada com o tempo, seu preço é muito justo para os padrões estrangeiros, porem dependendo do valor do dólar a conversão pode faze-lo um produto bastante caro aos olhos de um brasileiro para o que ele oferece.A historia em si é bem simples, toda aquela jornada do herói com personagens antropomórficos e um vilão malvadão porque sim, o livro esta dito como infantil, mas eu acredito que alguém mais sensível possa achar as descrições de violência como as de um filme +14.A prosa é simples e ótima para quem quer se aventurar no inglês, lhe garanto que o seu vocabulário vai ser expandido ao final da obra, principalmente no que se refere a sinônimos de "rat" e "cat".Uma ultima coisa, embora a historia seja simples eu adorei uma personagem chamada Constance, uma texuga de meia idade, gigante no ponto de vista da maioria dos personagens, que acaba com metade dos vilões na base da porrada, segundo o autor ele se inspirou na avó materna para cria-la.Enfim, uma leitura agradável.

Cola for scale. I received it in new condition, but after reading the book the edges got a little worn.I'm recently new to the Fantasy Genre and was recommended Redwall. Although it's recommended for ages 10-13, I am a late teen and I enjoyed the book immensely. The story is your typical normal guy (mouse in this case) who becomes a hero and fulfills a prophecy. But where this book shines is in its charming setting, loveable characters, and interesting world. I'll definitely buy more Redwall books and can't wait to learn more about the world..

Preso per farlo leggere a mio figlio de 8 anni, ma decisamente per bambini con ottima conoscenza dell’inglese dai 10 anni in su. L’ho letto a mia figlio è penso che ne prenderò altri della serie. A lui è piaciuto molto, i libri erano stati pensati per bambini non vedenti e Brian Jacques ha fatto un ottimo lavoro nel renderli molto descrittivi e dettagliati
