Book 2), Mossflower (Redwall

I like this book a lot! it is full of action packed battles. it has a excellent plot. Brian Jaques creates a great world for young readers to escape to. i have read all 4 "Harry Potter" books and i still enjoy these book's better. This book is worth every penny!

Do you think Martin and his friends can overthrow the wicked Tsarmina? Join them on their quest for Salamandastron, the mountain of the fire lizard, to find out. The book Mossflower tells the tale of brave Martin and his friends vanquishing evil and restoring peace.

"Mossflower" is the epic prequel to "Redwall". Written by Brian Jacques, it is a book full of adventure and surprise.

The peaceful woodland creatures of Mossflower are forced to live under the tyrannical rule of the evil wildcat queen, Tsarmina. That is until the coming of Martin the Warrior. Martin brings hope and promise to the animals of Mossflower. With the help of a mighty weapon, the habitants of Mossflower will ban together to take back what is rightfully theirs and put an end to the evil reign of Tsarmina.

I highly recommend this book. It is full of action that draws the reader in and keeps him/her reading.

I enjoyed the first book better because the mole language in the second book is hard to understand. I still recommend the second book because it brings as much joy, laughter, and page-turning experience. The best character, in my opinion, is Gonff (and Martin!) If you love the first book, READ IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a truly wonderful book. The second book of the Redwall series. This book is really wonderful. There are nine books in order: Martin the Warrior, Mossflower, Redwall, Mattimeo, Mariel of Redwall, Salamandastron, Outcast of Redwall, Bellmaker, The Pearls of Lutra

I am a die hard Redwall fan and this is by far my favorite book in the series. It explains the history of Redwall and how it came to be, with Martin the Warrior and many others rising up against the evil wildcat Tsarmina. Brian Jacques is a great writer and this has a particularly great plot. There is peace and happiness, war and sadness, victories and losses, and love and hatred. There is no boring part of the book, and you are always kept on your toes, reading ahead to find out what happens next. Young and old alike will love this book, i guarantee. I really recommend that everyone who hasn't already, buy this book!

If you started the series off with Redwall, then you are definetley going to be pleased with this one. In Mossflower, you learn how Martin the Warrior came to be in Mossflower, and how he helped fight back and overthrow the tyranical regime of Tsarmina the queen of a thousand eyes. It is overall a much better story than Redwall, and the characters are a bit more beliveable and real. I don't want to give the story away too much, but the plot, and subplot are both very well written and it definetley draws you in to the point where you cant put it down. One of my all-time favorite stories, you won't be dissappointed.

I don't feel that I need to give you a whole bunch of reasons to read this book. Just read it and you will know why I feel this way. If you like mystery, comedy, adventure, love stories, battles, and/or poetry, you will LOVE Mossflower. I could not put it down!!!

Mossflower starts out kind of slow. But after awhile it starts to go faster. And u start to get more interesed in it. along the way Martin has lots of adventures. And has lots of enemies,but he also has lots of friends. this is a book that u can't put down.

Mossflower was the best book I've ever read. Some people say things like "Adventurous, exciting, and wonderful" about other books but that's pretty much a perfect thing to say about Mossflower. Tsarmina was pretty much why it's better than Redwall.

The dominating (in my personal opinion) Redwall series has to be the best fantasy ever written! Jacques has a pure talent for giving animals human characteristics. This was the first book in the series that I read, and I absolutely loved it! Jacques' creativity was spectacular and the characters were witty and great. If you like to read fantasy books, DO NOT pass this book up!

This was the BEST Redwall book I have ever read. It has the most fighting and action in it too. Belive me I have most almost all the series. But I really don't like the part Martin lies about his past. Still I guarrentee you this book is FUN!

This book is a great book and is just too sweet. It actually made you feel scared or sad or happy unlike other books. Also it has the bas the best characters, Martin the Warrior, Gonff, Young Din', Skipper, Logalog, and a whole lot more.

Well it's actually been over a year since I have read the book but if my memorie serves right it was definitly the best redwall book I had ever read!It was also the book that introduced me to the series. ~Christy or Eveningstripe the Sabre

This is an excellent book that tells of the founding of Redwall Abbey. A must read first kinda book. A perfect beginning of a seris to a great end, Brian Jaques is a must-read-his-books-author, this perfect book is a must-read, deffinetly!

Mossflower is by far Brian Jacques' best work. It is somewhat remenescent of Robin Hood with it's rebel heroes (remarkably warrior mice) and tyrannical villains (interestingly wild cats and foxes). The reason I did not give this book a 10 is that the charactars are somewhat shallow.
The hero is a bit too heroic and the villain is a bit too villainous. It could use a few more 'shades of grey', but it's nonetheless a great book.
Don't be fooled by the mice and cats in this book, this is a violent book, but somewhat lighter than Brian Jacques' other works.
I highly recommend reading this book.

YEAH, WHOO! Kill em! Yeah!
Oh, sorry, I was reading this AWESOME BOOK. Maybe you've heard of it, Mossflower? What? You are still debating on reading it? I'll slap you if you don't read it this instant! Go on, do it.

The young mouse, Martin the Warrior, with his friends Gonff and Dinny set out on an exciting adventure towards Salamandastron while their friends in Mossflower resist Tsarmina, the evil wildcat queen. A captivating novel!

i think you should read redwall books.its about animals that fight for their fredom.my favorite one is mossflower.what happens is that this mouse who came from another country and he saves other creature from assflower.

I have read every Redwall book from Redwall to The Legend of Luke. i am going to get Lord Brocktree once it comes out. This is the second-best book in the series, the only one better is Pearls of Lutra. Mossflower has villains you will hate with all of your heart and heroes you just can't resist, such as Gonff who teaches a crab to "dance" on his route to Salamandastron, home of the badger Lord Boar the Fighter. The evil wildcat queen, Tsarmina's, tyrannical reign needs a quick finish, and Martin the mouse is the one to do it. Oh and by the way, "Tsarmina" is a play on "tsarina" with "mean" added in.

This easily is one of the finest books I have ever read. Engaging and fun, it fully takes you in depht to the characters personalities. You often find yourself wondering what's gonna happen to some of them.

This is the first Redwall book I read, and it's still the best. You get to find out how Martin came to Mossflower, and the riddles and songs are clever. It's nice to know how Redwall Abbey was started.

He did it again. Ths book is as good as the first or maybe better. This is a page turner. A good read for 9-12 year olds. You can read it with the whole family or just by yourself. This book is great, so go buy it today.

This book is about Martin the Warrior. It tells about his life and what happened before Redwall Abbey was even built. It also explains about his legendary sword and how he got it. There is also a battle for Mossflower, the woodland creatures are trying to take it back from the paw of Zarmina the Wildcat and her band of evil vermin. It takes the unification of all the woodland creatures to defeat Zarmina, after they defeat her they start the construction of Redwall Abbey.

This was a great book. It is the 2nd book in the Redwall Series and I could not put it down. Although it was not as good as the original "Redwall" it was a great page turner. I am going to go read the third one right away! A MUST READ

I really enjoyed Mossflower. Brain Jacques has a great style of writing that just pulls you into the book. All of the Redwall books are wonderfully written. They are filled with adventure and excitement, each page seem's to draw you into the world that Brian Jacques has created. It's almost as if you are there with the characters. Brian Jacques rivals J.R.R.Tolkien in his mastery of captivating the reader in his writing. Anyone who has enjoyed Tolkien will enjoy the Redwall series by Brian Jacques.

I can truthfully say that this is by far the best book i have ever read in my life. Like the other books in the Redwall series this book starts out with one group of characters which splits into many more groups until they all converge in the end. There are many different scenes in this book and each one is filled with excitment and brand new interisting characters like toads and rabbits. If i could give this book more stars i would give it as much as i could!

This book is an AWESOME fantasy novel! It has lots of action, perfect decriptions, one really evil character(tsarmina), one funny and likeable character(gonff), a hero(martin) and a ton of great supporting characters! Mossflower is one of the best fantasy books I have ever read! I can't wait to read the rest of the redwall books because they all sound good too! So buy Mossflower if you are into exciting, descriptive fantasy novels because this is the perfect example of one!

This was our family's first foray into the Redwall series, and frankly I'm a bit disturbed by all the reviews saying Mossflower is the best of the lot. If so, then we've a lot ahead of us to endure. It's not great literature, it's overwritten, the violence is often over the top, and yet some passages are so obscure they need explaining. Even so, I'll admit my five year old boy loved the book--his first 'chapter' book. Now he wants to be a warrior mouse. Hmm. Don't get me wrong, we enjoyed it, but an attentive parent will want to edit as he reads. I am grateful for those frequent parts where Jacques explains that violence and death are bad but that sometimes the only choice for peaceful woodland creatures who want to stay free is to fight. Actually a quite realistic message. The world of Mossflower is quite as fallen as our own. Christian parents take note: death means going to 'the gates of Dark Forest,' and, though there are Christian virtues here, they are never so called.

Although I enjoyed the loyalty of the characters, and the comical acts put on by the evil Queen Tsarmania, this book wasn't quite my type. It is totally a "just for fun" book, as in the fact that you don't exactly glean a lot from reading it other then some humorous moments. Also, the characters are so plainly black and white, good or bad, making it very fairytale/folktaleish. Although I'm glad I got a taste of this type of literature by reading this book, I don't think I'd read another in the series. Give it a try though!

If you are just starting the redwall series you'd probably want to get this book first because it explains somethings about the warrior Martin and Salamadastron and other things. This book is one of my favorites(other than Mattimeo) and it is worth the price. Anyone who wants to add some good books on their bookshelves I reccomend the Redwall series.

I think this is the greatest book that was ever made!Also I think that brian jacques is the greatest author.It captures the readers mind and it makes you want to read it again.I have read every single redwall book 2 times since the 1st month of realease And I personally think the redwall series is for anyone that likes or dislikes reading.

by Miranda, Mossflower was sitting in the car for about 2 weeks but after I read the first two chapters I coudn't take my eyes from it(I only started it for my friemd sake)! Now I am ever greatful to Emily for encouraging me to read Mossflower and getting me into a exellent series! by Emily, I saw Mossflower in the store and said to myself this looks like a good book and i read the first chapter and immediately was on my knees begging my mom to get it.

This book is Jacques's best work. Who ever reads it will love it. Touching, funny,sad everything you need to make a book perfect!!!!! Ones who open it wont be able to put it down! This is so great, you will have to read it, you can find it HERE or in book stores. Look for more of Brian's work like Bellmaker, Mariel of red wall & others!

I really enjoyed 'Mossflower' that's why I gave it five stars. Out of all the Brian Jacques books I have read 'Mossflower' is my favourite. That's because I like adventure, action, mystery and a lot of other qualities 'Mossflower' has. To anybody who likes the same qualities in a book as I do 'Mossflower' is a great book to read. Why stop at 'Mossflower' though? Read all of Brian Jacques' books. I know I will.

One of, if not the best, book within the Redwall series! With exciting adventures, good morals, and positive relationships, this book and this series are highly recommended. Your child will become hooked on reading!

Of all the books I read Mossflower is #1. "Martin the warrior" is fantastic. All through the book there is adventure and exitement, and yes, like all the others there is a quest going on in this one too. New caracters are all through the book. Best of all, in all the other books the caricters talk about Martin. I love all of Brian Jacques' books but personally this one's the best!

In this thrilling prequel to Redwall you learn how the great Martin the Warrior freed Mossflower from evil wildcats, weasles stoats, rats, and foxes. More than that though, you learn Martin's history and many other fun characters such as Gonnf, Dinny, and many many more. There is alot of action, suspense, mystery, and much more. If you liked the first one you'll love this!

Martin is off to seek Salamandastron leader Boar the Fighter. To rid the land of the awful wild cat,Tsmarina. When his sword snapped the badger Lord makes a new one for him made of star. The badger dies of Bloodwrath a disease that makes badgers go crazy and just start killing their enemies. Well I set you up. Now get it online. It's one of Brian Jacques' best works.

Mossflower is an electrifing book with lots of action. A compelling sequel to redwall. Martin the Warior comes to an unknown place to him and gets himself locked in a cell for a year then a plump mousetheif named Gonff. Together thewy escape and take down Kotir i will not tell you how a cuple of little mouses take down a castle but the book will.

I would highly recommend Mossflower to most any middle school student. The book is interesting because it has two plots running simeltanyisly. I also liked how the auther used animals for his main charecters. I disliked how some charecters died pointlessly. It was neat how the two plots met at the peak of the story.

I would like to say the the book is the most captivating of books ever created .But Iwill also say that this book goes along great with the ever thrilling stories of xanth by pierce anthony. I think they would get along perfictly in the two fictional worlds~ it would be splended for them to work together to make the most facinating of stories~

Mossflower was the most exciting book I have ever read. Learning about the founders of the Abbey was all I wanted to know after reading Redwall. The riddles and peoms in the book are placed well in the story, and the book is easy to understand. I think that anyone who reads this book will be glad they did.

Just in case you aren't sure about this book, GET IT! It's the best book ever written in the best series on earth. All the other books are great too. Brian Jacques wrote it for blind kids originally, so the detail is amazing! I had the privilage to meet the author and he is really nice. Get this book for anyone! You won't be sorry.

I had read Redwall and enjoyed it greatly. This book was very disappointing. It was so slowly paced I have not read any others in the series despite strong recommendations from friends. I'll take Tolkien.

Mossflower was an amazing book with somemany details and so much room that you could make ten other stories about how great this book is !
I mean the characters are well based and and is well thought through ..
5 words after reading this book!!Brian Jacques is a genius!

From Tsarmina to Martin, Jacques creates a stuning world of woodland creatures. i love the squirrels and Tsarmina has got to be one of the best villians of all time. I'm in college and I still think she is pure evil.

This was probably the best book I've read, seriously. All of the redwall books are about 400 pages long, and I'm already on my 5th book in just a few months. I reccomend this book to anyone who likes action, comedy, and just plain cool books. By the way, I'm 10.

Hi. I read the book Mossflower by Brain Jacques. It is an excellant book! Gonff is hillarious and I was laughing so hard I had tears! This is a fabulous book and I am strongly recommending it to you! I'm reading it for the 2nd time now! If you like Brian Jacques, you'll definitly like Mossflower!

This book was the perfect prequel to Redwall. I loved the plot, the characters, and the layout. This is the 5th Redwall novel I own and I plan to collect the entire series due to this book. It is very pivitol in the series. It is a must have in the Redwall series.

I dont know how this books writing style got prasied. 1st off, the characters in the novel either feel flat or just hardly exist, not to mention it has a too easy view of good and evil. At least a wildcat in the book was good as he went against the system (wild cats in the series are on the evil side of the chart). Plus, the author shifted the events too quickly. In one scene, the wildcat was escaping a jail with 2 hedgehogs. Instead of keeping the story on them till the climax went down, the author shifted to Martin the Warrior traveling to find Boar the fighter. By the time we get back to the wildcat, the scene lost some suspence and a ton of climax. Plus, Gnoff (one of the characters) breaks into songs at random moments that can really bug you. Also, the plot was stupid around Martin`s story. The rebel group is fighting against a strong army but he and a few of his friends leave to find a badger called Boar the Fighter for help. Despite the overwelming odds, the rebels fend off by themselves perfectly to the point where the antagonist goes insane. I don`t even know why Martin brought back an army of hares to Mossflower since there was no major battle that took out the antagonist or her castle. Wow, not really a lot of common sence in the story.

Evil Cat. Questing Mouse. yadda yadda yadda.
But to be serious its a fun book that will give you characters to root for that aren't blatantly annoying or one dimensional ...except for the eagle, but he's no hero, he's just a lazy old bum with an eating disorder.

Mossflower is a good book, but not quite as good as I expected it to be. The characters are fine and the plot is great, but just the way the author set it out was wrong. I think this book deserved a three because it didn't attach to me very well.

I have read all of the Redwall books. This one was my favorite.Martin's sword is awesome.I am looking foward to the next book The Long Patrol, and there are rumors of other books in the making called Marlfox and Luke the Warrior, Martin's father.

This series is the best series ever written! In the series, Mossflower is my favorite book! I don't know about you, but my favorite was Dinny! If anybody has any doubts about reading this series, they gotta talk to me!

Mossflower is my second favorite book in the series. I love Martin the Warrior, he is my favorite character! This book is full of action and heroic acts. With great characters and a clever plot. A page turner from begining to end!

This is only the second book I've read in the Redwall series, but I think it is the best. These books are amazing, epic stories that are very hard to put down until they're finished. Great job, Brian Jacques!

Giving this a one-star review because of publisher insanity. Clearly an electronic edition exists (and it is easily found on illegal torrent sites) but they refuse to give me a means of obtaining it legally.
