One of the Best Thus Far

Doomwyte, though an excellently written book, had its ups and downs for me. My first thought while reading this was that it must be one of the best Redwall books I've read simply because this one didn't have a boring beginning, like most of the other ones have. It introduced all the characters and what was happening quickly and got to the real drama and excitement of the story without much delay, which I can say for very few of the other Redwall books. I loved the way that everything tied in together, like they do for all of Brian Jacques's books, and how just as soon as one character was rescued from captivity another one got caught- it kept the story going and made the book almost impossible to put down. I liked the diversity of the characters, from unlearned but still clever Umfry to grouchy Brother Torilis to sweet little Perrit. However, I was disappointed when there was very little hand to hand combat overall, and worse none at the Abbey. I always looked forward to that in the books, and this one was lacking in battle scenes. Even in the first battle scene, the focus was hardly on the fighting. I was also disappointed at the lack of interaction between the villian and his 'minions', shall we say. In other books the focus was on the villian just as much as the good guys, which I loved to have the insight of what was happening on the dark side, but there was very little of that in Doomwyte. However, despite its few low points, this was still an excellent book and I strongly encourage people to pick up a book from this series and read it. In all honesty, it doesn't really matter where you start- chronological order is very different than publishing order in this series! But really, though the series has its ups and downs, the ups are more frequent and stronger, and they are overall an excellent series that I would recommend to anyone.

Plucked Some Characters, still very good.

After 20 books, you've got to reuse some ideas, such as 'The Nameless Mousebabe' that first appeared in 'The Bellmaker' (Well, it's not the same one now, duh.), and a Guosim leader being killed by a rat vermin of some type and having his son take charge (Seen in Eulalia!, the book right before this one)
But it is still good, along with the fact the Gonfleins acted like savages--stealing is one thing, but Gonff wouldn't have been grubby!--and how the 'budding romance' is wonderfully not overdone.
You couldn't even feel too intrested in Korvus Skurr, being more intrested in Baliss.

An Upcoming Excitement

It really isn't fair to rate a book before it's been released, but if this book is anything like it's 19 predecessors, it's going to be a tremendously entertaining read for EVERYONE.

Enybody up for a redwall rp?

To the person 3 below me

Go to the third page, it tells you the book from first to last. I would like to add that this is a great series and I cant wait to read this book

Highly recommended.

Brian Jacques does it again. Another wonderful fantasy book featuring the past and present characters of Redwall Abbey and Mossflower Woods.
Good characters and bad characters, and all the good feasts. I really enjoy the Abbey hare in this one. A very unique character. Good reading, for cold days and staying indoors. Plus, good always triumphs, not easily, but it does. I have every book in the Redwall series and I have read them over and over. I think that anyone who enjoys a nice, entertaining and often very funny story would enjoys this book. Brian Jacques has a different and unique way of looking at things and is not only funny, but often true. We laugh most often at ourselves.

Fascinating :)

I love how BJ comes up with all these clever riddles to stump us, and the amount of detail he puts in his descriptions. Also, SPRINGO RULES!!!

.w.

Which one in the redwall series is the 3rd book? I know redwall is the first and then mattimeo.

DOOMYTE

This book is good for a reader with a need for adventure,battle with vicious vermin,and tasty vittles!Enjoy!

Another entry in the Redwall series.

Not one of the most exciting books in the Redwall series, but like almost all of the series, well-written and interesting. It is a story from the earlier days of Redwall Abbey, and explains some of the landmarks that are in later stories. I have not yet met a Redwall book I didn't like and end up buying.

Best of Mr. Jacques

Have read all of the Redwall series and Doomwyte is an excellent example and a very involving story.

Fantastic!

As with all of the books in this series it was very good and continued with the story line. As soon as I got home I started reading this book and completed it within a couple of days. Can't wait for the next one!

Brian Jacques never fails to draw you in.

I liked this book a lot. It was very interesting. A lot of plot twists.

Doomwyte, by Brian Jacques

Doomwyte, by Brian Jacques is the 20th book in his phenomenal Redwall Saga. It is about the mysterious disappearing of travelers lost in the woods after following mystic floating lights. These are the servants of the Doomwyte idol, whose eyes were stolen from the wytes many seasons ago. At Redwall Abbey, young Bisky the mouse and his friends discover a riddle that supposedly leads to the Doomwyte jewels. Korvus Skurr, tyrant to the wytes, is determined to take over Redwall and recover his missing eyes. Will Bisky and company find the eyes and defeat Korvus Skurr? I recommend this book and others from the Redwall saga for all readers who enjoy adventure, suspense, and an overall origional book from bestselling author Brian Jacques

Best Redwall Book so far!

Doomwyte is the best book so far in the Redwall Series.
It is thrilling and will keep you on the edge of your seat while reading it.
