    " The Redwall books ought to be a perennial children's favorite. They are simple and formulaic, but it's a good formula! Jacques has a real gift for dialect, and culinary descriptions. I credit an early fascination with the Redwall stories for my modern-day feats of gastronomic delight. "Salad anna scone!" "

    " Mariel of Redwall was ok but it wasn't as grand as some of the other Redwall books. She was too much of a fighter. I don't think it is natural for women to fight and she was so hard. Funny parts in it of course, but not as good as many others. Didn't like the revenge in it either. "
