Jenny Clark's Reviews > Mattimeo

A good addition to Redwall, but it shares the issues of all books in this series- that is its predictability, and the sameness of characters from book to book. All the otters act pretty much the same, same for shrews and badgers, and hares and so on and so forth.
They all also have the same plot, of something is stolen from Redwall, or an evil horde comes to attack it. Despite this, it is still a good series, and there are a few books to break the mold, Martin The Warrior and Taggerung off the top of my head.
I highly recommend this to fans of Wind in the Willows and/ or Watership Down, or for reluctant readers. It is middle grade writing, with a few harder words, but they are easily definable from context, and the fact that there are so many in the series lends itself to lots of reading if one is liked.
For adults reading it, I would suggest interspersing it with other books die to the similarities between books.
