[Felldoh154]

one of my favorite series of all time. I love these books, perhaps even more than redwall series. I just wish there were more 

[White One6193]

I think it's one of the best parts of the books, despite the fact that I disagree with a good deal of the nitty-gritty details.  I'm willing to overlook it, considering there are few glaring theological problems, and no major ones that I can bring to mind quickly. 

I suppose it depends on your religious beliefs, but I think it's a healthy dose of reality that some people could use.

Well, the books place forth a very Catholic idea of justice and theology, so Brian was probably using that most ancient of writing axioms: "Write who and what you know'.

[Redwaller]

Is the serie good? And what is the summary?

[W0NWILL]

The story starts by vaguely introducing a fourteen-year-old nameless boy, who at the beginning has no parents and is a mute. He is apparently running away from his life as an abused orphan, and accidentally slips on the Flying Dutchman as a stowaway. He is found, and made to work with the cook, Petros, an antagonistic character who abuses him. Petros names the boy Neb, which is short for Nebuchadnezzar. One day, while the crew is off drinking in the port town of Esbjerg, a dog wanders onto the ship and is befriended by Neb. He names the dog Denmark, after the country he found the dog in. They strike up an immediate friendship.

That's the first part. I'm not showing any more.

[Redwaller]

Sound good. I migh buy it.

[Felldoh154]

It's a great book you definetly should read it

[redwallgurl]

you should read it its like Mr. Brian's style of wirting but with a different plot

[Felldoh154]

And it has people, not animals, and each book has the same main characters, rather than new ones every book
