      Another enjoyable adventure in the Redwall series. Not being a junior adult reader, but a senior who likes to read such fiction, I find these stories simply entertaining and relaxing reading. A simple and refreshing way to spend a few hours of fantasy, not a bad way to leave the hectic world of reality.
    • 5/5
      This book was most likely my favorite out of all. It made me laugh, cry, and the ending was superb. Amazing, Brian Jacques, I wish you could have written even more.
    • 4/5
      One of my all time favorite series! I love each and every one! A great book for young adults, and adults alike! I'm in college, and still read these, and enjoy them each! Good for animal lovers, adventures, and those who just like a good tale of good over evil!
    • 4/5
      Fun, like most of the Redwall books. A bit scattered, since for most of the book we're dealing with 3-5 groups doing different things at (approximately) the same time - it actually gets the most unfocused just before the climactic battle, with Mariel in one place, Dandin in another, Joseph and the rescuers coming up, the Southsward group recruiting for battle, the villains making their plots...and a few pages back in peaceful Redwall, wondering what the adventurers are up to and dealing with their own adventure. Interesting variants on culture, from the Marshtoads to Southsward to Egbert the Scholar (who is a cultural rebel, though he can fall back into molespeech as necessary). Oh, and the Butcherbird, too. Ridiculous amounts of luck throughout most of the story, as the heroes run into and safely out of extreme danger (the Hole in the Sea, the flying mast, imprisoned by the hordebeasts...), and only evil creatures (and most of them spearcarriers) die. But the final battle is final for several of our friends, and there's even a violent death in Redwall (two, but one falls under "evil creature"). I was reading casually, and intermittently, for most of the book - but the climax made me late for an appointment, I had to finish it. The frame, and the revelation of who the squirrel and hedgehog were, was amusing. Good story - not deep (if I start going deep, the inherent prejudice against carnivores gets unpleasant), but fun on its own level.

      This is a tale about Joseph the Bellmaker and how he finds is daughter and defeats Urgan Nagru. Joseph has a dream that his daughter, Merial, and her friend Dandin are in trouble. He sets off to find them but has to go south across the ocean. He meets Finbarr Galedeep, and they sail south. Mariel and Dandin are captured by Urgan Nagru and his horde rats. They must escape and raise an army to fight the enemy. Joseph finally lands in Southsward and goes to get Merial. They both meet and they fight and retake Southsward. This is a awesome book. I have read Brain Jacpues books for awhile and this is one of the best. I like how there are a bunch of little stories inside of the one big one. Brain Jacpues is always very descriptive. He can take half a page to describe the country side. My favorite character is Rab Steambattle the heroic otter. I also like Baggut because he was evil then turned nice. This is a amazing book the everyone should read.

      very good, very well written
    • 5/5
      This is a beautiful work of fiction that cleverly intertwines important values such as selflessness, love, and courage in a brilliantly vivid animal world. If I am ever to have children, I will definitely try my best to get them interested in Brian Jaques's Redwall books.
    • 5/5
      The Bellmaker is one of my favorite Redwall books. I cried in it, but its really an enjoyable read! Highly recommended!
