Why do you like Redwall

CoolClaw · April 30, 2003, 07:26:05 PM

I was wondering why I was so fascinated with Redwall the books. I don't really know why I like it maybe because its really original, but I was wondering why everyone else likes it.

I like the way all the characters interact and have special, specie specific, traits. The story in the early books was also incredibly well written, and that keeps me coming back to read the rest.

I don't think the characters are that well developed, like in Harry Potter all the characters are well developed. But There are only four HP books and they use the same characters, while in Redwall there is probaly well over 100 and 14 books, I think.

I just like the books. Jaques knows how to make his stories come to life in my mind.

I enjoy the style of writing he has. Personifying animals with an action/adventure/riddled plot. It keeps my mind working, and that makes me happy.

I don't know why I love Redwall so much. Perhaps it's because of all the action and story lines.

I love Redwall for the fact it's so complex. I adore complexity. It confuses me to death, but I love it. Ever try reading The Silmarillion? Well, that's complexity to the max. Woo. Anyway. I just adore the writing style (especially in Redwall - that has the best writing style of all of them) and how the different species have different personalities but still tend to get along. I really don't like the war aspect of it, but I guess there has to be a conflict to keep the rest of you interested. *grins* I don't really know why I like it. Perhaps because I just happen to like well-written books.

A few ponderments - I was wondering if Brian Jaques was planning on ending the series after Mattimeo. For if you read just Redwall, Mossflower, and Mattimeo, it seems that the series is complete - especially with the ending of Mattimeo and the naming of Martin. But. *shrugs* Just my random though after rereading Mattimeo yesterday ^^;

How I love the new smilies...
I'm not sure why I like Redwall. I picked up the Pearls of Lutra because it had an interesting front cover, and after that I was addicted. It's probably because of the incredible writing.

You can relate with Redwall characters; the vivid war scenes and nature styles are also very pleaseing. Of course, Gary Chalk shouldn't be the artist...the british dudes are better that that :snicker:

Pearls of Lutra definately has the best cover. It was a very good book, I have read them all except Lord Brocktree which I'm reading now. Its really good so far.

I like how Jaques had written it so that you feel for the characters as if they were real and weep or want revenge when one dies. It also has great humor in some parts and the spirit of great warriors who fight for family and friends. The weapons and stratgeys used and how you class different creatures.

Nobody make any bad conments about that!
