Review of 'Redwall' on 'Goodreads'

Reading some of the reviews on multiples sites, some reviews stated that the plot was weak and peoples most remembered pieces were from the descriptions of food and how delicious it must be.

I picked this book up thinking it was middle readers, so when I came across cursing and using Satan and Asmodeus's name I was shocked. This did not deter me, however. This made me dive in further. I do not believe this book was meant for children. It was brutal in its description of battle wounds. This book had be hanging on with an iron grip. I wanted more.

My first problem is how these mice are lauded for their refusal to hurt any other creatures, and then on the very same page slay a trout and roast it for dinner. And then there is Cornflower, you just want to shake her and explain that the woman's movement arrived in the 60s and she can stop simpering around serving everyone with downcast eyes. I did GREATLY enjoy Constance the Badger, Methuselah the scholar Mouse, The weird snow Owl and the aristocratic Cat, I am only human …

Update: Forgot I already nostalgia-reread this and found it wanting. Nostalgia-reread it again, still found it wanting. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
