I've only read the first three in order of publication. Redwall, Mossflower, and Mattimeo. Mariel of Redwall should be here soon, it's already been ordered through Amazon.
Soon isn't soon enough...

ChocolateTomato I used to read that series! I think my favorites were Mattimeo and Martin the Warrior, they were awesome. I also liked Marlfox and Pearls of Lutra. Pearls of Lutra was great because it was fun trying to figure out the riddles. Then again, all Redwall books are fun to figure out riddles. My favorite thing about the series is reading the mole-speech. Its so funny! Especially in the Bellmaker, which I only got halfway through, then I had stopped for some reason that I cannot remember now.. Yes! Marlfox was my favorite! I read it soo much it fell apart. It even has blood on the pages because I was losing a tooth at the time. xp

metalmalzan WetbackAntichrist I think these are some of the most superb books in the world, and I have read each and every one of them. I own several. Be Careful:Do Not Read Outcast of Redwall. I think this one is horrible. Aside from that, I think the rest are very good. Same here. All of them were great, but Outcast of Redwall was boring in my opinion. What was wrong with Veil and Bryony? I thought it was pretty good, though not as good as Triss and Rakkety Tam

Moppeh was right, the books are repetitive. However, they are refreshingly wholesome and, if you don't burn out on them, entertaining.
I generally pick up a couple every year or so, and enjoy them thoroughly.

Never thought I'd see the day that books I read in elementary school were discussed as literature.

I greatly enjoy the Redwall series, Brian Jacques is indeed one of my favorite writers. So far I have read all the books, and I am waiting for the next one to appear (in soft cover so I can afford it). If you like Jacques style I would recommend "Castaways of the Flying Dutchman" and its sequel "The Angel's Command". They are fabulous.

I keeptrying to get the next one, but everytime I get to book store it's sold out! I think my favorite Redwall book would have to be Tagarung. I read that book to shreds.

I quite enjoy his books. I first bought Redwall for a quarter at a yard sale. It was in excellent conditon. I have since been collecting up the series. Redwall is probably my favorite. They are great stories to escape in. cool

Judas lscariot Never thought I'd see the day that books I read in elementary school were discussed as literature. Well, since the first book, Redwall, was published in 1986, and I graduated highschool in 1982, I did not read it until I was an adult. The stories are quite sweet and I found them an easy place to become lost in. There are many books I read in school, that I still love today. You don't feel as if books you read in school are considered literature, or do you just mean the book Redwall? Peace, Laura

Peace, Laura I didn't read the book for school; I read it while I was in elementary school. Most things that are required reading in school are literature (exception: in 8th grade my teacher had us read this shitty, like, dime novel or something. We then did a variety of projects related to it, all of which I used to profess my distaste.) It's a fine book, but it's far from literature.

I realize Redwall is no piece of literary genius, but it is a good yarn.

I love this series, even if it's somewhat repetetive. I didn't like it at first- I thought that Jacques' style was too boring in the beginning of the novels. But, I got through the boring part and it paid off. Heheh.
I definitely think that Outcast of Redwall is the worst one of the series. I agree with several people on that point.
Oh, between my sister and I, we have pretty much the whole series.
