Publisher's Summary

The vicious Rapscallion army is threatening to batter down the walls of Redwall Abbey. But standing in their way are the brave hares of the Long Patrol and a stout-hearted contingent of forest creatures. And no defender of Redwall is more courageous than young Tammo, an inexperienced but eager hare who dreams of great adventure. Fueled by sumptuous feasting and hearts lifted by stirring ballads, Tammo and his honorable companions raise their swords in a pitched battle for the future of their land.

Tremendous.

Took me back to my younger days. Was always one of my favourites in the Redwall series.

A wonderful listen

The reading is superb and the music is extremely well done. I’d have some of the songs on my iPhone

Warning!

To preface, I love the Redwall series through and through, including Brian's narration. Now onto the review.

I heartily recommend avoiding the audiobook format for Redwall; at least with this one. Brian's an excellent narrator, however, the voice acting--which is as frequent as Brian's narration--is difficult to follow and makes me cringe at moments. The volume levels are uneven, so it will be difficult to hear one moment and nearly deafening the next. As much as I wanted to love it, and re-delve into Redwall, I found it impossible to push through. I do a lot of listening while driving and could not follow along with this.

Ultimately, it would've been leagues better with just Brian's narration and none of the voice acting. I don't need him to verbally act out each character. Yet there are no doubt people who will appreciate this phenomenal story and the eccentric voice acting (and no doubt there's a counterargument to be made that it should be eccentric).
