Summary: Redwall's Lucky 13
Comment: Lord Brocktree is by far the best book in the Redwall series. It is filled with action, adventure, danger, death, destruction, courage, and freedom. Ungatt Trunn and his Blue Hoardes of wildcats have invaded the mountain of Salamandastron, leaving it up to Lord Stonepaw, his son Lord Brocktree and their friends Dotti the haremaid and Ruff the otter to save everybeast in Redwall from certain death and destruction. I thought this book was very well written, with graphic war scenes, strong (yet not obscene) language, admirable protagonists, and an unforgettable ending. Brian Jacques is at his peak of genius with Lord Brocktree.
"Stay steadfast in hope, courage, and determination, and even the impossible becomes possible". I believe this statement best sums up the theme presented in this work. I rate this as a 4-star book because even though the writing style and flowing plot made it an exciting enjoyable read, it was confusing to follow sometimes with so much happening at once. For any fan of medieval style society, epic battles, and a clever tale sure to keep you turning pages, I recommend Lord Brocktree by Brian Jacques.

Summary: Lord Brocktree
Comment: In reading "Lord Brocktree" I have decided that the book is a wonderfully crafted adventure novel. I think that anyone beyond the age of twelve could get something out of the book, if only they would look in the right places.
I think that the plot, although quite predictable at times, is full of twists and turns. The story lacks an element of suspense, but this fact is made up for by wonderful characterization and diction. I liked the language that the characters used, it really added a lot of depth to each different kind of animal.
This book was about a Badger Lord named Brocktree who is on a journey to reclaim the mountain Salamandastron. The mountain has been captured by an evil wildcat villain, Ungatt Trunn. Along the way the Badger Lord encounters many creatures and takes up an army to aid him in his quest. The end encounters a dual to the death between the Badger and the Wildcat.
I was impressed by the book's thoroughness in tying up all of the loose ends at the end and throughout the plot. The outcome is very rewarding, and sets the pace for the whole Redwall series, this book being a prequel.
In conclusion, I would recommend this book for a junior higher who would like to read a book with somewhat challenging language and full of twists and turns. I reward the book 4 stars due to its wonderful cast of characters and great imagery and diction, but did not see it as 5 star material because of the plot's predictability.

Summary: Lord Brocktree by: jake penrod
Comment: This book was a okay book but not a great book. I think this because the plot of the story is very good and the setting really paints a good picture for you. But the characters are kind of strange and Brian Jacques doesn't really give good descriptions. Also i feel that the story skips around a lot and making you feel that something is missing. Because of all of these reasons i have to give Lord Brocktree by Brain Jacques a 3 out of 5 stars.
