Publisher's summary

Mattimeo should have been named "trouble". Always getting into mischief and quick to lose his temper, the young mouse seems an unlikely candidate to take up the great sword once wielded by the legendary Martin to defend Redwall Abbey's peaceful way of life. But when Mattimeo and his friends are kidnapped by the fierce fox Slagar the Cruel, the bold little mouse learns that there is far more to becoming a true warrior than simply brandishing a sword.

absolutely love the series !

been reading redwall since i was a kid, still wonderful books and this entry in the series is second to none. Fantastic read.

Entertaining!

The narrator is the author and it is fun to hear the excitement, inflections and animations he surely imagined for the story as he wrote it. A good sequel to the first book Redwall, it is entertaining and captivating. I would recommend it for anyone that loves a storyof good vs. evil.

A great sequel to Redwall

I have loved reading Brian Jacques novels for many years, but I am disappointed that the only one read read by a single person (Stuart Blinder) is Redwall. I really wish there were more treated the same, I don't enjoy the full cast, but tolerate it.
To readers who may balk at the quality of the sample (like myself), the actual recording is much better and cleaner. Otherwise I would have returned it right away.
The music between chapters is really irritating, especially the repetitive overly-sampled voice that sounds like they're saying "doo-doo-doo-doo". Just have to grit your teeth and ignore it if you want the story.
The things you put up with to be able to do chores and read at the same time.

Love

I just love this series, and hearing the author’s voice. It helps me when I read the printed book

i love the books

i love Brian Jacques the chicters are vary well voiced the story is perdictable but vary good this is the 3rd red wall book where is the rest of the series here it jumpes from the 5th book to book 13 so far the series is 17 books long so where are the rest of the books

Nice tale of adventure

This was an enjoyable entry into the series. It was nice that there were multiple stories happening at once, and basically all of the characters of Redwall got their moment to shine. I am not sure why the book is called Mattimeo, as he was not even the central character in the story, just the one who kicks off the journey. Overall solidly done, great performance by all of the actors as well

Great continuation of Redwall

I wasn't expecting to enjoy this book as much as I did, since I don't usually like other books in the Redwall series as much as my original three favorites (High Rhulain, Rakkety Tam, and Mossflower). Even though I've loved just about every Redwall story I've listened to, I wouldn't want to listen to them over and over again like I do with my three favorites. However, I will likely add this book to my list of repeated listens. Not only is it an excellent performance with a full cast and added music, it directly continues the original Redwall story with several of the original characters, and it does this so well! I also appreciated listening to how this book matches up with what other characters discover in Loamhedge. Great listen, and I would absolutely recommend it.

Classic

What a great listen , I hope this will get picked up from a company that will make it a film or even an animation that shows the characters story. Excellent job.

W book

Good book to listen to on long car trips and I just love it so good

The performance of the readers.

Absolutely beautiful series of books highly recommended. Filled with tears and harrowing scenes of bravery and true companionship. A must listen and read for everyone. Overall amazing adventure through adversity and loss with a triumphant ending.
