very good - Ruthie

The authors themselves, in an Afterword, cite the Redwall series as their inspiration, and without even having read the Afterword, I had the same sense while reading Braver. Personally, the only Redwall novel I've read is the first and I've never gone on because it struck me as a very highly anthropomorphized story in which medieval knights fought each other but simply as animal characters.

I actually liked Braver better than the little I've read of Redwall. Although there was more anthropomorphizing than I would like, definitely more than you'll find in Richard Adams, there was still enough animalistic nature to satisfy, definitely better than what I've seen in Brian Jacques. ( )
