I love the Redwall series! It's the best(next to LotR)! I love the shrews and the moles! Molespeach is very funny. So far I've read Lord Brocktree, Martin the Warrior, The Bellmaker, Mariel of Redwall, Marlfox, Outcast of Redwall, and Salamandastron. My favorite is Lord Brocktree. And for anyone who doesn't alreday know or thinks otherwise, Lord Brocktree is first chronologically.

I've been reading the Redwall Books since i was like 8. that was before i read LOTR. Now i have practically all the books in both series'. I dont have taggerung, but thats it. and on the question of the order of the books, just go to http://www.redwall.org and it tells you everything you could ever want to know. but personally i cant choose between the 2 authors or any of the books.

The second Martin one is Mossflower. Since that post, I've read Redwall, Mattimeo, The Taggerung, and The Long Patrol.

P.S. I have Redwall RPG site. If you want the URL, PM me.

I used to love Redwall. I haven't read them in awhile, but my favorites are definitely:

Redwall
Martin the Warrior
Mattimeo
Mossflower
The Pearls of Lutra


The rest are good too, but after awhile they all seem to have the same plot. Just something I noticed after I read a lot of them.

I Love Redwall!

I've read the Redwall books consistently for about 5 years now. I absolutely love them! Did you know there's a new one out? I think its called Triss. I have all of the books, except the new one, which I'm going to buy once I have the money ().

They were originally written for blind children. That's why they are so descriptive and the dialects so unique.

Redwall is definitely one-of-a-kind!

I really like the Redwall series (see my name? )
My two best friends and I sometimes joke about being a Squelf, Mobbit, and Dwole (squirrel-elf, mouse-hobbit, dwarf-mole). My favorite books in the series are Redwall, Mossflower, Mariel of Redwall, and The Bellmaker.

I used to watched them, they were really dumb, but they were worth it just to see the sparra.

I've read all of them except the most recent one, and with varying degrees of enjoyment. Most of them have several things the same in them, and the plots and characters aren't too much different. Only when one occasionally comes out that really branches off of the old ones do I really get involved in it.

I really liked the Outcast of Redwall and Sunflash the Mace more than most of the others, if I remember correctly. I like the ones that cover a period of time in them, and also the ones in which the villains are unique.

From what I remember, as a general rule, the earlier books are better than the later ones. But hey! There aren't that many authors who can keep up a good series for more than a trilogy (many not even that), and BJ did.

Ugh I don't remeber Sunflash the Mace either, WHERE HAVE I BEEN?!!!!!

I was the most huge Redwall fan for years. My first ever RPG was as a mouse. A healer mouse. (It was more a pass-along-through-a-discussion-board-story than anything else.) But very fun.

I don't really like Redwall anymore...maybe it's just a negative phase...but I think I've outgrown them. The plot seems the same book after book after book. However, they are written in an addictive, colorful writing style that even I probably won't be able to resist...Can't wait until the next book! (Yes...my sentiments are a bit confused...oh well. )
