This one pissed me off. I liked it more when I was younger, but after rereading it, I can't ignore some of its serious flaws. An orphaned ferret baby Veil is raised by "kind" Redwallers who emotionally abuse him and constantly discriminate against him, then kick him out. His adopted mother, the only mouse who didn't hate him, follows him as he sets out to find his father, the evil warlord Swartt Sixclaw, who abandoned him. He finds his father, the mouse finds them, the Swartt throws a spear atI liked the story line about Veil, but it felt like it came along too late in the book. Other than that complaint, this was one of the better books in the series.
I used to adore Redwall, and still have a soft spot in my heart for the earlier books, but this one was just awful. Jacques never provides any ambiguity in his characters: all the drama comes from physical conflict or from youngsters bucking the rules, never from relationships between characters.Nowhere is this more evident that in Outcast of Redwall, where Jacques finally gave himself a chance to right a real wrong in his world: all mustelids are evil! In Jacques's world, if you're born a fox,
I've always loved this book. And rereading it brought many pleasant memories. Hoping my reading pace picks up again now that I've finished it. However rereading a book as an adult does change the way you view it and though my love for the series remains, I don't think I'll revisit other redwall books soon.
I read this book back in middle school (10+ years ago) I have been searching for it for the last 5+ years as I have thought about it numerous times through out the years! That I may say makes for a GREAT book, if 10 years down the line not only do you remember the book, but feverishly search for it so you may read it again! I can't wait to re-read this amazing book, and now that I know it's apart of a series I will be looking into the other books for a great read! I don't think I would honestly
Trademark Jacques. Wonderfully touching, with characters that you can't help but love and cheer for as they conquer their enemies and grow to maturity. Sunflash the Mace and his journey to find his legacy, along with all the friends he makes along the way, is certain to captivate. The only let down in "Outcast of Redwall" was the character of Bryony, who was surprisingly impossible to like, given that she's one of the main characters. Her stubborn defense of Veil, even when all the evidence was
Brian Jacques wasn't allowed to reenact Birth of a Nation in the rodent section of his local pet store and thus wrote this book instead. This novel, ostensibly marketed as "fantasy", nonetheless relies on the most banal and ordinary of racist cliches; a child of the lesser barbarian peoples is adopted by the good, genetically moral denizens of Redwall, but is cast out because he can't contain the violent urges of his racial temperament. If you've read the preceding 7 Redwall books, it's
