Title: How long did it take?

How long did it take for you guys to read the whole Redwall series, like Redwall to the Rouge Crew? Not counting any time spent waiting for the next book to come out. For me, as soon as I picked up the first book, I couldn't put it down until the last page of the series. I'm a really fast reader - it took me 4 months! :D

It took me about four months. Started in early May 2013, finished in September, I believe.

wow it took you four months to read all 23?! that's crazy! I like to take my time with these things. I started reading them in 5th grade and rarely had to wait for the next book because Brian had a pretty solid head start on me. In the end I finished the series in around 4 years or so hahaha

It took me about 5 months to read the whole series. I loved every second of it.

Ummm. . . . . . . Maybe two and a half months? Because I had to wait to read The Rogue Crew.

At no point did I read all of the books in a row. I started reading when I was younger, and significantly more saddened by violence in books and such, so I'd stop reading every so often.
Yeah. Probably took me a year or two, I dunno.

Ok, Doc Brown. ;)

I think even the most interested and loyal of Redwall fans would go nuts trying to read all the stories back to back.  They'd get sick of it, because aside from the first few, each story becomes very much like the one before it.

I beg to differ, Lutra. That's actually pretty much what I did. Then again, after re-re-re-re-read them, I stopped, and am only just now getting back into them.

Lutra, the redwall books are the only ones ive read for more that a year (except for school reading) And I plan on finishing them .

To be honest, I kinda stopped reading redwall. All I have left to go is Triss (Which I'll probably never read, it lost its steam halfway through) Redwall, 1 other book, I think I missed some of Pearls Of Lutra whilst reading it, and Rakkety Tam.

So yeah. I'm probably gunna finish them soon and then reread some of them.

It took me about four months to read them all (added up), and I've been trying to reread them all for the last year and a half. (Can't seem to find Salamandastron. . .)

Wow, you sure are crazy fast.  How many hours in a day did you spend reading?  For me, it took me a year and a few months I think.
