Finished the first book recently! It was quite different in style to Redwall, but I still loved it. Could have been changed for the better I think, though. It was very captivating, particularly the first parts. Finished it in a day or two.

As odd as many may think it, I've always preferred this series over the redwall series. I understand myself to be vastly in the minority.  ;)

Same. I don't know why, and they're very close for me, but Castaways has something that makes me like it more.

I like them about even. The one thing Redwall has over this series is that it's got more books. Castaways is just fun all around and unique. I don't think I've ever read a series quite like Castaways.

I wish Mr. Jacques let Steven Spielberg make a movie on this series. I understand why he turned down the offer... But I would've loved to see a movie adaption!

Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more

And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
Well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

My dad got me the first one of these and I hope it's good!

This book was very good. Quite different from what I had expected.

This series is amazing and I wish it would have gone on longer. Hope you like it, Prez!

I've read The Angel's Command, but haven't come across any more in the series.

Okay, so I finished the first one today.

It gets good again really late on in the book, once Ben's Sueness takes a backseat (until the last couple chapters). We got some really funny villains and a sad ending with Winnie the Pooh, and my overall impression of this book was that it had a great old times atmosphere and was well written, but had a main character that could have been done better.

Overall, my last impression of the book was that I liked it despite its flaws.

Am I weird when I say that Winnie had a crush on Ben? :-\
I'm that person... Brian never put much romance in his work
