this is the book that got my into the redwall series. i found it very good and was hooked in the first chapter. though it's not the best method to start with the 10th book in the series, most of the books aren't directly linked so i wasn't left confused. at points i laughed, at others i was almost crying. one of my favorites :)

Another fun adventure in Redwall, and one that I hadn't read as a kid, so it was fun to see something new! The hares of the Long Patrol are loveable, adventurous, and perilous, and getting to see young Tamm grow into a warrior was heartwarming.

I was reading some of the reviews previous to mine, and find it interesting that adults are complaining that the redwall books follow a formula/theme and are predictable. that they all have the same premise- a horde threatens the serenity of redwall abbey. to which I have to say this: duh. these books were. written. for. kids. they deal with difficult subjects, war, death, honor, grief, injury, etc, in a manner that young kids can grasp and understand. of course they're simplistic. you want complicated? read war and peace. I first read these books when I was around 8. look at them with an 8 year old's eyes. not an adult's eyes.

I enjoy this series - definitely read as many as I could get my hands on when I was a kid. I still like the stories these tell, but it sometimes gets a little ham-fisted with the moralistic elements and the drama. Still an easy and enjoyable read though!

Who doesn't love the hares? Their personality made stronger by their ability to eat one out of house and home as well as their magnificent accents (wot wot), hares simply add flavor to each of Jacques' books so I'm very glad he devoted one to them.
I hope I wasn't the only one who noticed the name Cregga Rose Eyes straight off, and felt a pang of sadness knowing what was coming. But that's what makes the Redwall series great; even oh so many books later, one never forgets a familiar face.
