Great climb max! A great book to read over again, highly recommended!you can never get enough brian jacques
My kingdom for half-stars, which would make tracking my feelings about this nostalgia re-read a lot easier - not all 3*s are alike here. Anyway, this one's a solid entry in the later Redwall books and also the most graphic: cannibalism! Shame about the villain here; Gulo the Savage is too stupid to be really frightening. With his size, I thought for sure we were going to get a wolverine vs. badger throwdown, but the Badger Lady in this book does jack. She appears twice and not at all in any
Ah, Redwall... Taking me right back to my childhood! Rakkety Tam was a fun tale. It's been a few years since I read the previous novel, Loamhedge.We meet a new sinister antagonist, Gulo the Savage. He's a wolverine, and he's bad. There were parts of the book involving Gulo that shocked me. Let's just say that he and his subordinates don't just kill their enemies, they eat them too. For this reason, the book seemed darker than other Redwall books, but it definitely distinguished just how bad Gulo
I freaking loved these books as a kid. I read every single one of them multiple times and stayed up to date with the series until I graduated high school.

Sketches before every chapter liven with villains and dibbun babes.Typo:"I thought it was ole Sarge Wonwill for a blinkin' moment!".. "Sounded jolly well like him, wot!.. I miss him." p 308.Sgt Wonwill is thought dead, then voice loud and clear, then participating in "clever scheme" p 256. I think Cpl Butty Wopscutt was misplaced for living Wonwill.
That score is a little generous. Jacques writes with so much charm and warmth. The passion shines through his prose - even in his middle tier work. This was the first time I read an entry in this series since I was a prepubescent. Nostalgia, as anyone knows, can be a double edged sword.The major flaw here is the villain. Hes menacing but also insane which makes him consistently incompetent. The heroes almost always had the upper hand throughout. I never thought he posed much of a threat and I
