Book Reviews of Mattimeo (Redwall, Book 3)
Book Review: I enjoyed the book
Summary: 5 Stars
Mattimeo
This book review is about "Mattimeo",written by Brian Jacques. This author has written many books, to the "Redwall" series. I think "Mattimeo" is one of best books by Brian Jacques. This book for me had a lot of twist and turns,mystery,and action. A surprising twist,and turn was that I expected Malkariss to be this big stone pillar cat,as the book said. To my disappointment the real Malkariss was a old great white mound of scabrous fur. He had short floppy paws with long nails he also had revealing blackened stumps of teeth. You would think that Malkariss would be a young fit strong mouse, but he tried to sound strong by playing a big stone pillar cat. Another twist and turn is the only reason why Slagar was capturing children for slaves was so that he could give them Malkariss and get rich off the whole deal, and get revenge on Matthias by taking his son, and his sword, and slay Matthias. The story lead me to believe that Slagar only had slaves for himself. One of the things that I liked was that the reader, introduced new characters throughout the whole story, which keeps the story new and fresh. Example: Sir Harry the Muse, Cheek the otter,and Stryk Redkite, and more. They all appear at different times throughout the book. Since Slagar was very smart he covered his real tracks and put false ones. He also set a couple traps to stop Matthias and his friends from rescuing the slaves. Slagar led Matthias and his friends in a trap by false tracks and Slagar and his men trapped them in by leading them in a cave and caving them in. Sometimes I wondered if the Redwall slaves would ever make it home. One of the things I liked the most was that the author let you know how the character was feeling. Matthias joined them, (baby Rollo, and Cornflower) at the window staring out into the rain. Sorrow and pain mingled with the cold lights of rage and vengeance in his eyes(pg 78 chapter 11). Those two sentences would tell the reader how Matthias was feeling when his son was taken Slagar the cruel. I thought this book was very suspenseful,and thrilling. I recommend this book to people who love mystery, and action.

Summary of Mattimeo (Redwall, Book 3)
Slagar the Fox is determined to vanquish peaceable Redwall. Gathering his mercenary band of rats, stoats, and weasels, he advances upon the abbey with a cunning scheme-rather than making courageous battle plans, he will steal the children of Redwall from under their parents' very noses. And his prize captive will be Mattimeo, the headstrong young son of Matthias, the fearless mouse warrior!
Preparations for the feast for the Summer of the Golden Rain are underway at Redwall Abbey, and young Mattimeo's mother sets him to work with the other inhabitants. His father, Matthius, is the guardian of Redwall Abbey and it is this fact that puts the young Mattimeo in danger, as the evil Slagar the Fox plots to kidnap him in a bid to shake the very foundations of the Abbey and its inhabitants.
Rip-roaring adventure at its very best, Mattimeo is one of the exquisitely executed and totally bewitching tales in the best-selling Redwall series. Brian Jacques, with his masterly use of language and enviable talent for descriptive prose that transports the reader to the very heart of Redwall, magically weaves an epic tale breathtaking in proportion and design. Utterly addictive, Mattimeo is packed with so much color, passion, fury, and love that it will leave readers desperate for more. --Susan Harrison
