TCPeppyTc Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I wonder if anyone here is a fan of the Redwall series by the recently deceased Brian Jacques. Its a fantasy world of anthropomorphic mice, hares, badgers, rats etc. I figured if people are fans of Starfox animorphs,there may be redwall fans as well. Anyone?

Xortberg Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 AJC INCOMING! BRACE FOR FANBOYISM! I read them way back when, and enjoyed them, but recently tried reading some more and just couldn't get into them like I used to. Might be because I was reading the mouse books instead of badger books. The badgers were badasses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticQuery Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Read the majority of the books, though quite a bit of time has passed since I last looked at them. It's a shame Mr. Jacques passed though; especially considering he was partway through another book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Shaper Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I'd be lying if I said that I read every book, but of the ones I have read I enjoyed them enough to re-read them later. Although I'm not so much of a fan now, I still consider myself one and it was a shame to hear about Brian. Oh look at that, I am mentioned in the above post.

TCPeppyTc Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 Im not sure if anyone else agrees with me, but I feel his books got a little worse every time he aged. Idk Redwall the first seemed so different than the others. Like it was written a long time ago. Also it seemed to take place in the actual middle ages where English peasents lived ( hence the horse and cart, with the rats all the same size as rats irl). I guess he got a little formulaic and static is what I noticed. And what exactly is the hares' dialect? British officer from early 1900s or something?

sjrathbun812 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I was introduced to the series recently. I love it. So I'm a fan, I guess. But, I haven't read every single book in the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
