Martin the Warrior

This is my first book into the Redwall series and I very much enjoyed it. If you love medieval themes and animals this is a read for you.

If Mossflower was Lord of the Rings, then this is surely Sparticus. In this story, our hero is imprisoned, and when he refuses to bend to the rule of the evil tyrant he is tortured and left to die as a meal for mouse-eating birds. But Martin escapes... and plans his REVENGE.I have read Redwall, Matimeo, Salamandastron, Mossflower, and Martin the Warrior so far, and my two favorites are Mossflower and Martin the Warrior. In this book we delve even deeper into the origins of the greatest hero of the Redwall series. We find out where he got his sword, who his first love was, and how he freed the slaves of his homeland and ultimately came to wander into the land of Mossflower all alone.This is a truly epic tale about true love, revenge, loyalty, and the lonely life a true warrior is destined to lead. Superbly written, action-packed, and ultimately deeply sad and heartfelt, this is a book that demands to be read and re-read.If you enjoyed other books in the series you owe it to yourself to give this one a read. If you liked Mossflower it's a definite must-buy.

This was a great book! It is the first book in the Redwall series that I have read and it has got one of the best plots. Jacques is a very vivid writer that describes the scenery and characters so well you have to pull yourself away from the book and come back to reality. I suggest that if you are even remotely interested in fantasy novels then you should really check this book out!

I personally thought that this was the best book in the redwall series. It gives you alot of background information about the most famous mouse in redwall. It is one of the most breathtaking books I have ever read and I hope others find it as great a book as I did. It is a fast pace story that takes you back so you can see the world of many seasons ago through Martin's eyes. It starts out as a flashback like most books do. But then it tells a story like no other.It's a book you just can't put down. So I highly recommend Martin the Warrior.

This book is the best (in my opinion) that I have ever read! It made me laugh, cry, and I sat on the edge of my seat during the battles! When I first started reading it (about sometime during October) I thought it would be stupid. A friend let me borrow it, and strongly recommended it. It took me about a month to get at least 20 pages into the book. Then in two days I finished the rest. I stayed up until even past 2:00 A.M. reading about the battle, and adventure! I strongly recommend this book, but once you get around the last three chapters, get out some tissues! It's really sad- but I won't reveal anything to those of you who haven't read! It is about a young mouse named Martin, who is a slave at Marshank, captured by the evil tyrant Badrang. He sets out with his friends Laterose the mousemaid of Noonvale, and Grumm the mole. They travel to Noonvale (Rose's home) to raise an army. From there Martin's quest continues to get an army and put an end to Badrang, and recover his father's (Luke the Warrior) sword. This book is the absolute BEST of the Redwall series, and in all other books (in my opinion) it has no equal. I STRONGLY recommend reading this tale of adventure, battle, love, and hope that will make you both laugh, and cry. DEFINITELY a must read!

I have just finished this book about three or so days ago and I loved it! I have also read Redwall and loved it! I highly recommend that you read this book! If you are not a fan of Brian Jacques books you will be! The characters are richly described. Brian Jacques makes his characters overflow with life! The feasts that he describes will make you hunger as you read it! There is so much exciting things that go on that keep you on the edge of your seat with a tremendous urge to flip the page! Brian Jacques describes battles so vividly that you feel like you're an onlooker in the story. I highly recommend that you READ THIS BOOK! I am now reading Salamandastron and I think that it is even better than Martin the Warrior! My only complaint is that you can not rate this book as a ten star book!
