Well folks, BJ's Smiley

lastest book, Rakkety Tam, just came out. It's a story about (don't read if you don't want to know the story) a wolverine whos brother takes the "Walking stone",( the object that the wolverine Gulo would rule the northlands with) from the north after Gulo's father dies. Askor, Gulo's brother, stumbles into Mossflower, when a tree falls on him and Hitheryon Jem, the Abbot's cousin, and Wandering Walt, his trusty mole friend find him with a huge tree on top of him. Askor denies help from them, declaring all his enemy, and that Gulo would never get the walking stone. he tells Jem a riddle to where it is. jem goes to Redwall as winter falls, and the Redwallers try to solve it and find the gemstone. Meanwhile, in the trees north of Salamandastron, the squirrelking has imprisoned 2 warrior squirrels because they made fun of him. The drayqueen, the squirrelking's wife, has made a banner that the squirrelking parades around proudly until some white vermin and a giant wolverine came and attacked him and his subjects. The queen's banner is stolen by the vermin, and the king is more upset by that then the eating of his minstrels by the wolverine. The drayqueen in angry at the imprisoned Tam because Tam did not protect them. Tam threatens to slay the squirrelking because he is not upset from his dead subjects. But Tam is bound to obey the king because of an oath he took. He wants to be rid of the silly king, so the queen says she will release him and his matey Doogy Plum if they bring back the banner. The king says no, but the deal is made. So Rakkety runs after Gulo.
At the abbey, the puzzle is solved and Armel, the infirmary sister, and Brooky, skipper's neice (who is as laughy as hon Rosie) set out to find the Waking Stone. But they get caught by vermin before they get it. Boo hoo. Rakkety goes and saves them. And so it goes on: Gulo eating captives, Rakkety and the Long Patrol trying to save everyone. . . blah!!

I didn't really like this book. It didn't really have any main characters. And there was no quest. I mean, Armel started one, but never finished. I don't think anyone grew up and became a warrior: rakkety and Doogy and the long patrol were warriors already! There was no naughty dibbuns who learned the importance of listening to elders: no hotheaded younguns who ran to fight the wolverine: nothing changed, really. And They never concentrated on one character for 10 pages!!!! It wasn't really about Rakkety tam: It was about a Savage Wolverine who liked to eat creatures. And the long patrol in this book: They didn't seem to be the Long patrol i know and love. I guess we will just have to face it: Redwall isn't what it used to be. I know a lot of you will be outraged by this news, but it's the truth: this book had little Redwall spirit in it. Martin is dying.

For some better news, uh, Zip-a-dee-doo-dah?

Gra, I hated the long Patrol in this book. They were clones from some other...dimension. Not the real ones. Melmsawhatever should've gone with them though. I've never rememberd one badger lord/lady stay behind while there was serious fighting including their hares. It's wrong. Ferdywhatever was an idiot The bankvole was a bigger idiot. He deserved death.
