Favorite Book?

[tSoMtW]

Just to get things started and in the mood, let's begin with something basic, hm?

---

What is your favorite Redwall book?



Personally, my favorites are Marlfox, Martin the Warrior (I used to be able to memorize nearly the entire book word-for-word), and Taggerung.

[R.ush]

Outcast of Redwall

It was a very good book. It didn't bore me...forcing me to read on. >D Some of the Redwall series does that to me. No, I actually wanted to read this book, which surprised me. ^_^

[tSoMtW]

Aye, High Rhulain was probably one of the most boring for me. It just kept dragging on until the VERY end. As good as the plot was, I didn't like how everything sort of just crashed down in the last part of the book.

['Piper']

For me:

Outcast of Redwall:
I loved the originality of this ones plot, and how it was also told from the villians point of view as much as from the hereos.

Followed by:
Martin the Warrior-I loved him in this book, but after that he started to irk me, and lost a lot of the spitfire he had.

Probably the worst one for me was 'Redwall' , I probably wouldn't have finished the series if I had started with this one.

[tSoMtW]

Hmm, actually, I didn't think Redwall was as bad as it could have been. I started with Mattimeo and almost lost interest before I even began.

'Piper' - Offhand, but did you know that a Piper is a kind of plane?

[Ashstripe]

Outcast of Redwall definitely, that's what got me hooked on the series. Nice cover and even better story.

Triss was alright, I liked how it followed Triss' group and the other lot..The badger, hare and sea-otter I think. Though I'm probably only saying this because it was the second book I read.

Taggerung, the fact that I remember this book still after all these years means it must've been something, nice touch on the tribalness.

And Marlfox, gotta love all that backstabbing ;D.

[R.ush]

I haven't actually picked up Marlfox. ^^' -guilty grin- I have it and all...but it never interested me. I might buy Outcast of Redwall one day. It was very good. -nods-

Yeah! I liked the storyline and the point of views told. ^_^ There aren't enough badger stories in Redwall that focus on the badgers. Maybe...three, all in all? I like reading 'bout the badgers. They be interesting characters. A villian and hero at the same time. ;D

Heh. I'm reading Triss at the moment. Just started. Umm...it's ok. Rather hard to understand some of the speech. ^^' -doesn't want to spoil anything, even just a small thing-

[Ashstripe]

Loamhedge, Lord Brocktree I imagine would focus on badgers, if it doesn't I'll eat my assumption-hat.

Outcast of Redwall did..Triss does slightly..Salamandastron definitely did if I remember right.

[Lavender]

My favorite out of all the Redwall books is definately Mossflower. I love Gnoff to death, and all his little songs. I used to have them memorized. I think it was one of the best books in the series.

Martin the Warrior is my second favorite; it was the first one I ever read. Well, I listened to it read on tape by BJ and cast, really. And that was how I fell in love with the books. =) So, it always has a special place.

I disliked Triss alot, especially the hare... I can't remember his name. Scarrum or something? That book was really annoying. =P
Loamhedge was only redeemed by the plotline of Bragoon and... I can't remember the squirrel's name. They were two of the best characters ever.

Lord Brocktree[one of my other favorites] and Salamandastron focus almost entirely on the badgers. Otherwise, there just mainly secondary characters here and there in the books. My favorite species has always been the otters. =D

And I shall stop rambling now. ^_~

[tSoMtW]

Yeppers, Scarum the scoffer. XD ...and the old lady squirrel was Saro.

[Ashstripe]

Bah! How could I forget Mossflower!? *Slaps forehead* I loved Dinny in that story and often named my vehicles the 'Wuddshipp' in video games >.>.

That one is definitely a classic. *Walks off rambling furiously*.

[Lavender]

Saro! That's her name. xP

*Starts humming Wuddship is a good ship,
And we'll sail her anywhere...*

[tSoMtW]

XD
I think that's the best name they've ever given to a ship in the series.

Ooh, I still have to get me paws on Eulalia. Anybeast read it yet?

[Lavender]

Definately. It just fits so perfectly. ;D

I got my paws on a copy of it just a few days ago, but I've yet to read it. I'm currently tied up in another book, which I need to finish before I start another. But I'm eager to read it -- I hope it's decent. =) If not as good as a Mossflower, then hopefully as good as a Rakkety Tam

[rose]

My fave redwall book is probabl pearls of lutra, followed by martin the warrior, then outcast of redwall.

I didn't really like loamhedge all that much but the newest book....eulailia...i own a copy and i don't think it was quite what i was expecting.

[Ashstripe]

I haven't read any of the new books since Rakkety Tam, then again I haven't read the entire series before that to begin with. I'm very far behind .


I should ride down to the library these holidays if I get time to see if they have anything new...After I renew my card.

[Marian the Badger]

I'd have to say Mossflower is my favorite, followed closely by Pearls of Lutra and Taggerung. But it's hard to choose really, there are so many good ones. Though I haven't read the latest one, Eulalia, yet.

[falohn]

Hmm, I liked Salamandastron and Rakkety Tam alot, but I havent finished all the books yet so I'm not totally sure what my favorite is.

[Lavender]

I'm currently reading Eulalia. Finally finished another book, so I can start on it now. I'm not very far, but so far, it's not that bad, really.

[narehme]

My favorite was Triss.. it was also my first Redwall book.
