The Long Patrol: A Tale from Redwall, by Brian Jacques

3.0

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.
