I love Brian Jacques's Redwall books. So, I'm curious, am I the only Redwall fan on CAA?
Go Matthias!

I remember reading almost all of Brian Jacques' books (starting with Redwall, then the many many other stories -continuations/prologues/etc. of the original story) when I was much younger. I can only remember bits and peices of the stories now, but they were very enjoyable to read.
I recall even seeing a Redwall cartoon once. ^_^

But yeah, good books. I'll have to go back and reread them all one day.

I remember when I used to be obsessed with those, ages ago. My mom read most of them to me, but I do remember reading Redwall and Marlfox. Good times, good times. My recollection of them is just vague haze minus a few character deaths, the Marlfoxes all killed each other(or most, anyways), and that the badgers were really scary when their eyes turned red. Oh, and then there was the sword of Martin.

I remember the cartoon, but it was serious adaption decay, with it's own original storyline and stuff. I remember having to tape it, as it was on when we went to church.

Yeah, I remember the cartoon too. It wasn't all thatbad. They had Tim Curry do a voice.

The cartoon actually wasn't awful. I sold it pretty quickly after picking it up, but it warn't bad, burr oi.

I read the books all through Middle School and much of High School, loving Martin's adventures particularly. I hadn't actually thought about the books in a long time until my room mate got me High Rhulain for Christmas this year. I may start reading a bit again, but I started to fall out of his books around the time Marlfox came out and only read a couple after that.

Actually, the books did more to instill a sense of morality in me than almost any other influence in my life at that time, including Church. They're pretty powerful good/evil tales, although I've heard a lot of people make some pretty interesting points on the case of racism. I'm torn. The Species of Redwall encompass culture groups, as can be found in that every race speaks some dialect or accent found on the British Isles, but it also seems at times that they represent temperment as much as race. Of course, I could be reading in to that and it really is as clear as "Some races are bad and some races are good and no matter how you fight, you will only ever be what your race dictates you are."

I loved Redwall in Jr High and High School, but kind of tired of them around the time of The Legend of Luke. My favorite is still Martin the Warrior =) I think I read that one like 3 times. Go Martin!

I only ever read Mossflower, but it was a good book! I really enjoyed it.

Mattimeo and Salamandastron are EPIC novels!! Not too long ago, I started reading Marlfox, but I stopped for some reason <.<.....

Hooray, Redwall. I have loved this series since I was . . . elevenish? I don't know. I've read all of them and have been collecting them for some time. My siblings used to read them too but have mostly stopped. Sometimes I think "I'm nearly twenty, I should stop reading kids' books," but there is no way I will ever stop reading Redwall. The pure childish idealism of these books keeps me reading even through the ones I don't like. I've gone to see Brian Jacques speak a few times and he's so funny it only makes me more addicted.
*sigh* I am just hopelessly addicted to Redwall.
