The first book in the Redwall series.

received today from LovemyLife

My mom, AceofHearts, passed away from breast cancer on September 17, 2013. Aside from being one of the best people I know, she was an avid reader and took immense pleasure in Bookcrossing, her book club, and reading many great books. Unfortunately she didn't get around to reading this book.

This looks like quite a cute and interesting story so I'm going to keep this on my shelf.

This is such a cute little world full of fun and interesting characters. That said, it feels a bit dense for a child's book. I can't imagine how long it would take for me to read this to my daughter. Even by myself, it took about a week to get through.

I also started out this book pretty confused by whether Redwall is mouse-sized or human-sized. I swear at the beginning of the book there was talk of the rats using horses, so I thought this must be human-sized, but then it was never mentioned again and it bothered me for a while.

I'm glad the author wasn't afraid of killing off characters, but with the number of books available in this series, is there anyone left at the end?

While I did enjoy this, I don't plan on reading anymore in the series as I feel like I'd be at it forever.

I've been doing some bookshelf cleaning and I've had this book for too long, time to share! I'll be giving these to someone to help populate a little free library in Mississauga. To the finder of this book: I hope you enjoy reading this book. Please keep it or set it free when you're done. If the book is of no interest to you, please release it into the wild for someone else to find and enjoy. I hope you will make a journal entry so its journey can be tracked and to let me know the book has been found. You can remain anonymous if you wish, but if you join BookCrossing, you are in for a great experience.
