Your excitement is justified; the High Rhulain audiobook is that good.

[Tiria Wildlough]

Wow, thanks! I'll look forward to it.

I love listening to the audio books, but I'm having a hard time finding pearls of lutra.

[Bragoon]

I've listened to five or six.  I prefer to read them and then listen to the audiobook to get the tunes for the songs.

I've listened to Rakkety Tam six or seven times though.  XD  I can sing any song in there from memory.

[Ceteruler]

I've listened to Rakkety Tam, Redwall, Martin the Warrior, Mossflower, Doomwyte, High Rhulain, uuh... Marlfox (abridged), Mariel of Redwall, and I own Eulalia and Salamandastron.

[Melody]

I've listened to most of the unabridged ones.

[Mad Maudie]

i have Salamandastron that was my favorite book for a long time

[eualaia]

i listened to all of them

Here recently I've been borrowing the audio books from the library.  I listen to them while I do my job, which happens to be one that I can do at home.  I work for a fishing rod company and my job is putting on the tip wraps, guides, decal wraps, and hookkeepers on the rods.  It's generally the same thing over and over and it gets dreadfully monotonus (er-spelling?) so audio books are a life savor for me right now.    So far I've listened to Triss (unabridged) and I'm listening to Martin the Warrior right now.
I love hearing all the voices-especially the one belonging to Brian Jacques.
Unfortunatley, the library in my town has a very small selection of Redwall audio books.

*Monotonous  =)

I listen to them at night when I'm in my room, unless I'm reading.  Generally I'm busy during the day, but it's nice to wind down with them in the evening.

[Icefire]

I don't listen to them. You see, I have my own voices for every part and my own tunes for every song! It really bothers me when I hear a "wrong" voice. One example would be Mariel....that was just not the right voice.

whats abridged and unabridged?

[Bragoon]

If someone abridges a book or essay (thereby rendering it abridged), they remove certain parts of the writing that isn't necessary to the story or to get a point a cross.  So, one might miss some interesting facts if they listened to the abridged versions of the Redwall audiobooks, but it wouldn't take as long to listen to it, nor would greatly effect the individual story of the book. 

I rarely purchase or read abridged books, but I made an exception with my copy of The Count of Monte Cristo.  I need to get another copy, but it was worth it considering how little I paid for it.
