Outcast of Redwall, Jun 3 2004
By A Customer
Veil, a ferret in Brian Jacques's book Outcast of Redwall, is raised in Redwall. Son of a warlord and a vermin, he doesn't listen to the advice of his elders and caretakers but leads a life full of mischief. When he is thrown out of the abbey, Bryony, his adopted mother/friend/advisor, goes after him. She still believes there is still some good in him. Is there?
Sunflash and Skarlath had been friends since they were very young. They were true friends, warning each other of danger and helping each other in times of need. Would it always be like that?
This book is a great book about having faith in others and being a good friend. I like it because it is one of the typical Redwall books with badgers, otters, squirrels, mice, and hares, but it's different than all the rest because in not one of the other ones has a vermin, in this case a ferret, been raised in Redwall. I like that uniqueness about this book. I also like how it shows that even if someone has been bad all their life, they can still do good things.

I think Outcast of redwall is the best book in the redwall series. All the characters are really intresting(especially Veil). Its got lots of action, is really funny, it has lots of different and intresting animals, it is very exciting, has lots of funny songs, hard riddles to solve, great food, intresting words, lots of different forts and castles,each type of animal has its own accent and personality.

Good book, Mar 3 2004
By A Customer
I didn't like this book as much as Redwall, or Mossflower. Although it is an adventure book, it didn't have enough action, and had too much emotion. This book had a weak plot, because it's the same plot as most books. The main character always saves someone, or finds what they're looking for.
Swarrt Sixclaw, a warlord with a massive army, ridicules a badger that he captured long ago. This badger is tortured every day. A bird is separated from his family, migrating south. This hawk, named Skarlath, traveled north. The winds and snow cause him to crash into a tree, unconscious. Swarrt sends his army to forage for food, and they find an unconscious hawk, frozen to a tree. Sixclaw then ties the badger to the same tree, so they can be tortured together. Skarlath regains his consciousness, and sees a large, baby badger hanging by his paws on a branch.
The badger takes his body, and wraps himself around the hawk. The ice melts, and the kestrel is freed. He then uses his beak to cut the bonds holding the large badger, and takes out his gag. They both run away. The badger grabs a large log, and runs back to the vermin's camp. He destroys everything, and kills many, in revenge for years of captivity and ridicule.
That was just the first battle, will Swarrt take revenge? What is this mighty badger's name? Read the rest of this book to find out.
