The Long Patrol (Redwall #10)
?The Horn Book
One of the darker entries into the Redwall canon, with loss of innocence a clear theme. Tammo dreams of joining the Long Patrol, an elite army of hares who fight for Salamandastron and its ruler Cregga Rose-Eyes. The reality of this mostly consists of his friends dying around him as they struggle to contain the oncoming might of Damug Warfang's army of Rapscallion rats, intent on taking Redwall Abbey. The last third of the book is more or less one long battle and it's beautifully written. The
The main reason that I love this book is because it is a very attention gripping book. If you need to try out a new book, I seriously recommend trying this book out. The reason that I docked one star off the rating is because at some points, during the most exciting parts, Brian Jacques will switch the scene and you have to wait until he switches scenes again. But other than that, this is one of my favorite books.
Quite good, I'm sure. There isn't much else to say about it, I'm afraid, for, seeing as all the Redwall books end up being more or less the same, I've already said everything by reviewing other books in the series.
Jacquess tales are full of colorful language, beautiful imagery of Mossflower Woods and the surrounding country and Redwall Abbeys legendary food and lovable characters.Jacques uses such very personal and localized character arcs to tell a much wider story. Within this single novel we are given references to other figures of Redwall lore, like Martin the Warrior, Matthias, Sunflash the Mace, and Lord Brocktree. To be reminded of these stories has only stoked my desire to revisit this world.
Another fantastic addition to the Redwall library, this book had everything I love about Mr. Jacques world. There was a dastardly villain, lots of sword fights, adventure aplenty and, of course, brilliant descriptions of the amazing food in Mossflower Wood! I also noticed a maturing of the various characters. There was a fair amount of sadness in this story, but lots of wisdom to balance it. I cant recommend this series enough; any time of year and any kind of weather, losing yourself in these
His exciting tales of Redwall have been enjoyed by millions of chidren of all ages. I am now 60 years old and love all his characters from the warrior mice to the wonderfully gregarious hares. Sure! the heroes always win through in the end, but what they have to endure, en route to the final victory leaves you mentally exhausted and chewing your nails down to the elbows! The variety of animals who make up the 'goodies' (or Redwallers), means that their ability to deal with the diverse threats
