Least Memorable Book

Gonff the Mousethief · February 21, 2016, 05:33:49 AM

Since there are a bunch of books in the Redwall series, there will be ones you like and dislike. What about ones you remember and don't really remember?

My least memorable book is probably Salamandastron. The villain was alright, and the tactics of it all seemed weak. Plus, I can't remember what happened at the Abbey at all. Even when I read the book I didn't really like it.

I'm in the middle of Triss and I think I'm probably going to forget what happened in it in a few months after finishing it...Just, nothing about it sticks out to me.

Also, I found Martin the Warrior pretty forgettable, but that's just my opinion.

I'd have to say that book with the Sun. . . . Flash? Yeah, Sunflash. And the kestrel and Veil and Bryony and what's-his-name, the mole, is the least memorable book to my mind. The only thing that sticks out in my head is Scarlath and vaguely Nightshade. Also Doomwyte and Sable Queen, I don't remember much about them.

The least memorable for me was Eulalia! I read it in 2010 and again in 2011 and the second time, exactly a year later, it was like I was reading a book I'd never read before. I don't remember anything at all from The Sable Quean, either, which I read once, four years ago. I only read Rakkety Tam once, and that was about ten years ago, so I don't remember a thing because the book didn't stand out to me. Though I've read all of the others twice or more, I've forgotten a lot of the content of some them, like Marlfox and Outcast, but that's because it's been at least nine years since I read those last.

This is a tough question, but I'll say either Eulalia or Triss both books seemed dead, and they dragged on. Though the real winner of forgettable Redwall books is definitely The one with the gems and birds, Birdwyte I think I almost couldn't finish it, and the enemy wasn't a threat, the Gonfflings made no sense, and the random otter protagonist whose name started with Z was plain boring, though the bad shrew Log-a-Log helps slightly but even that wasn't original because Marlfox had already done it.

Doomwyte. and when you put it like that., anything sounds bad.

For me, the least memorable Redwall book (that I've read, of course) is Loamhedge. Only a few scenes really stand out to me, and I can't recall the names of most of the main characters.

^^^ I'd forgotten about Loamhedge, and now you've brought it to my attention, I have to agree. I just remember Saro and Bragoon, the hotroot pepper thing, and these two spoilery bits:

Spoilers, duh

When the haremaid figured out she could walk, and Saro and Brag's deaths. That was to be Brian's most memorable death scene.

I loved each and every Redwall story in the series, but for whatever reason, I cannot remember nearly anything from Eulalia! and it kind of bugs me. What happened in that story? Even when I read the wiki I'm confused, lol. I do remember enjoying it, though!

The Rogue Crew without a doubt. There was no battle, most of it was spent dealing with the development of a ship that would have been more intimidating if he had developed it using the whispers of a terrible construct, and the rumors of the woodlanders. The guy that was chosen by Martin was worthless, and there was no point to him.

Loamhedge was awesome. Period.

LT Sandpaw · February 22, 2016, 06:31:07 PM

While Loamhedge wasn't the best Redwall book I remember it had its moments. Which in turn makes it memorable.

I think Loamhedge is memorable because of its flaws. I'd probably say it was the worst.

Really? I thought Loamhedge was one of the best! Especially the fight scene at the end, like WOW that must have been the closest to crying I've ever been whilst reading. I didn't see the quest as pointless, I saw it as beautiful

Hmm, well, when I look back at that scene I think that the act of turning the log so the vermin fell to their deaths was a unnecessary action. They had the log bottlenecked, five of them could hold it for quite a long time, in my opinion.
