I got a copy of Mariel of Redwall for my birthday. In about a week I decided to try it as I had read all the other books that I had gotten for my birthday. I finished it the same day. I think that often times the first book you read in a series becomes your favorite. You can probably guess which book I like the best from my name.
Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears.

Totally off topic.

It was random. But McDonald's food is always random. Greasy but so yummy. You need to read the fine print on the egg Mcmuffin wrapper.

I was in second grade and the smartest girl in class was reading Redwall.  I checked it out next from the library just to show her I could read a huge book too!  I've been in love with the series ever since, I currently own all but the latest book ( all but 3 in hardcover).  I have a 7 year old niece who I'm very excited about getting her started on them soon and I can't wait to share this experience with my daughter(2 years) in the years to come.

As a young boy I got my dad to make me a wooden sword which i named "Rathdeath".   :)

I was in grade four, and was waaaaay above the reading level of the majority of my classmates. In grade three everyone else was reading Goosebumps, and I was reading Narnia (and understanding it, much to the surprise of my teachers). Anyway by grade four I had finished Narnia and had no clue where to go from there, since this was about a year before I discovered Tamora Pierce. My mum went to the bookshop one day while I was at school and asked the lady what she recommended for a girl my age who had just finished Narnia. Mum picked me up from school with a copy of Mariel in her hand. I never looked back.

You shall teach them well. Redwall good. Rats bad. I'm reading the first book to my little bro. I think he likes it. Hopefully he will read them again when he learns to read.

When I was in eighth grade I think, and I kept on going to the same place in the library where the book Mossflower was and I could not resist to get it and thats how I started loving it.
Happy and kind.

I first heard of the Redwall series from the back of another book in the same edition. I didn't think they were anything special, though. Then, my mum got a copy of Redwall from the library, and I sneaked a bit, and was won over by the bit where Matthias trips over and lands at the feet of the Abbott, and of course I asked if I could read it.
I finished it the next day. I was a bit scared by the bits where Asmodeus hypnotises animals, but I felt like I had to read the next one.
So I read Mossflower, and then Mattimeo. By the time I'd finished Mattimeo, I was hooked. (It took me that long!)
I am currently reading Mossflower to my little sister.
WOW! That was a post!

My old sister read the first book in elementary school. She liked it but never read the series. A couple years later, when i was in 5th grade, I was at the bookstore trying to find something to read with my dad. He was making me get a book and I hated reading! We went home with Martin the warrior, mossflower, and the long patrol, the covers looked cool. I read the long patrol with him and was hooked! Before we finished it. I went and bought high Rhulain and read all of that. Then eventually read the rest of the series until I was at the point of waiting for the sable quean to come out. Now I love reading and have read every redwall book at least once  ;D

Embarassing for me, I've read every book except for Redwall and The Rogue Crew.

-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.

Heaps of people have found out about them in such awesome ways, my story is just "my brother told me to read them, so I did."  :)
Received mostly negative reviews.

My dad used to read them out loud to us when we were little, and all of my siblings were reading them and then I started to read them and was hooked almost immediately.
