I've only known about this great series since fall 2011, but I've read a lot of the books already. I like it because it packs action, comedy, and animals all into one. Brian was a great author.

the same as you! fall 2011 i finished the series except RC that fall!
He was a wondrous author.
I have known about the Redwall Series for over 8 years.
Why do I like Redwall? The adventure is captivating, the feasts are mouthwatering, the wit is real, the characters can be sympathized with, the world of Redwall can be imagined long after you have read the books, the settings are like intricate paintings with words. I like everything about the series and I am positive that the books have shaped some of my decisions in life for the better.
I've been reading Redwall for 18 years, and it's still one of my favourite series. Why do I like it? It's hard to say. I like it now because it reminds me of my childhood and I can still pick up old favourites like Mossflower and enjoy them, no matter how many times I've read them. I liked them back then for the adventure, the accents and the writing style.
Redwall will always be part of who I am. :)
Approximately 7 years, but I only started reading them 6 years ago. My brother loved them and I watched the TV series with him. I even played Redwall with him on vacation once. Then, in year two I read Redwall for the first time. It was the first lengthy novel I ever read an it took about half the year to read it! I've been obsessed with the books ever since. My brother has since "grown out of them", but I'm positive I never will.
As for why I like them, it's difficult to pinpoint just one thing. I just love Brian Jacques' writing style and all the battles, food, songs and riddles. The characters aren't weak characters and have plenty of personality. The books also teach great moral values.
i think it was about somewhere in 2008, once i started reading them i couldn't stop
Well ... first time was in 2008 when I watched the TV series, and I liked very much, then I decided to read books and informations,and until today I try to make drawings, exactly how did Brian :)

Actually i belive Brian didn't do the drawings, someone else did
I don't believe Mr. Jacques ever did any artwork in the Redwall books, and I'm pretty sure he didn't draw any of the cartoons in his earlier, semi-biographical books either.
I've known about the books for six or seven years, but the first time I actually read any of them was early 2010, I believe. Even then, I didn't really get into the series until early 2011, mostly due to a change of residence (moved from VA to NC) in 2010.
I kinda just like everything about the books. Nothing in particular stands out over another aspect.
I've read Redwall since somewhere in 2010 but started really loving them around the beginning of 2011. I then decided to check out some of the sites after a while and joined the forum which I'm going to stay in. I love Redwall the style of writing, jokes, action packed, and mostly for the songs listen to this all the time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhvJ6cIy868 .
the first book i read was in 2008, but i remember watching the tv series on pop! in the uk whn i was in yr 2, it used to air with george shrinks!
I've known about Redwall since 1996 (so about 16 years) and why I liked it is because it was a cool blend of medieval history (love history) and animals, which I have another soft spot for. I quickly read all of the books that were out up to that point, and kept that up till about Loamhedge.
I first read Redwall in February 2011, and finished The Rogue Crew in December the same year. I have only known Redwall for roughly one year, but I'm sure I'll never grow out of them. I might read them less, but they'll always have a place in my 'Favourite Books' list. ;D Redwall is awesome!
Not to mention, Redwall is waaay more interesting than reality ;)
I first picked up Redwall in 1999, I believe. I don't know why, exactly, I kept coming back to the series, because I wasn't really interested in this sort of thing back then. Interesting, isn't it? :D
I have known Redwall since Aughost 2011. At first I did not want to read as I love animals and did not want to hear a tale about animals and war. But then one day it was raining and I had just finished reading a book when I got very bored and started reading Martin the Warrior. That book changed my life forever! :) And now when I want to read something interesting I go back to Redwall. Brian was a fantastic Author. I am really sorry he is dead. :( Also I really liked Redwall books cause they contained animals and true friendship. :D
Its odd for me when BJ died. A few days before his death I was thinking about how the famous five stopped when Enid Blyton died. then I thought that would happen to BJ eventually.so i checked the redwall website. I guess cos I was thinking about it it helped. Redwall will always have a place in my heart.
