About this audiobook

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. Brian Jacques' Redwall books have sold millions of copies worldwide.

    Although it has been a great many years since I read this book, and I have forgotten the details, I remember thinking it was truly wonderful. I recall particularly liking the story elements which relate to Mattimeo's struggle while in captivity.

    I read the first two Redwall books many years ago as a younger (not young) adult, from curiosity. This third one (in publication order) I had the pleasure of reading with my young son, after he enjoyed the first two. It is a few years after the defeat of Cluny's army, and Matthias' son Mattimeo is old enough to be having his own adventures as a precocious child. A new villain (or is he?) kidnaps him, and off we go. I liked that this book broke new ground, moving away from the 'castle under siege' story of the first two books. I also liked learning the new villain's identity, and how that expands on the story. The characters are what sells this series, and it was fun to invent different reading voices for them. The world of Redwall still confuses me (what is the relative size of these animals? why all the confusing poetry puzzles instead of explaining things clearly? and how/why do these animals eat SO MUCH?) but its heart is always in the right place. The edge of violence and tragedy in these stories adds a hint of danger to the proceedings, sometimes sad and sometimes horrible, even while we know that all must turn out well in the end. There's an especially high body count among the evil-doers this time. I suppose we're not meant to think about it too much.

    Mattimeo by Brian Jacques is the third book in the Redwall series. I just love this series. It takes me back to when I was a kid. It is so much fun to read!

    One of my all time favorite series! I love each and every one! A great book for young adults, and adults alike! I'm in college, and still read these, and enjoy them each! Good for animal lovers, adventures, and those who just like a good tale of good over evil!

    I could not put this book down! Matthias's son Mattimeo is mousenapped by a familiar character and Matthias will stop at nothing to rescue him. He is helped by characters such as Jess squirrel, Orlando the Axe, and , of course, Basil Stag Hare. A real page-turner.

    I think that out of all of the Redwall series this is the most amazing book of all. The son of Matthias the warrior is kidnapped by an old enemy of Redwall who you would never suspect to see again.
