I've just finished re-reading The Legend Of Luke, and it was better than I remember it being! It had a real adventure feel to it, which I haven't really felt since I started reading The Hobbit. I also like how the middle of the book is about Luke, and the rest is about Martin's travels. That is probably the biggest contributor to the adventure feel of it all. I also think that the main plotline was very, VERY well done. The only one that surpasses it in my book is Martin The Warrior. Over all, I think its a great book! Comments?

Life is too short to rush through it.

I like the best part is when it talks about Luke
Never trust a smiling pirate.  :D

I can do that because I'm awesome.

Yes, I think that that is one of the main highlights of the book.

I thought it was well written but I didn't like how it was two different story's. Luke's story was to short and it seemed to interrupt the flow of Martins story. Martins half of the story also seemed to lack a main villein which made it lose a lot of the adventure feel. On the other hand I really liked Luke's story. It had like you said an adventure feel which I think made up for the lack of it in the other half of the book.

I sort of think the opposite. I liked how there was two different story lines. It sort of gave it the true feeling of being realistic.  :)

I agree with Ungatt. The double storyline was unique. No other Redwall book that I have read possesses that.

-Sometime later, the second mate was unexpectedly rescued by the subplot, which had been trailing a bit behind the boat (and the plot). The whole story moved along.

I think what I was trying to say was that Martins story took up most of the book and with out a villein I lost interest before I could get to the good stuff. I really wish he had made Luke's story longer.

Same, I really liked Lukes adventure, and wished it was longer... :P
They told me I was gullible. I believed them.

But the main point of Martin's side of the adventure was to find out what happened to his father.

Right now The Legend of Luke is one of my favorite Redwall books. When I first read it a long time ago I didn't think much about it. It was a good book but not one of my favorites. But when I re-read it a month or two ago I really loved it. Luke had some great quotes and the book also contained one of my favorite Redwall quotes ever. You can see it in my signature.

I think that quote was the best one in the whole book! True wisdom it had to it. :)
