Least Memorable Book

[Hickory]

Rogue Crew too bloody.

O' there's blood on the axe,
An' blood on the shield,
An' blood on the swordblade too.
An' if you're a foe of our Rogue Crew,
There'll be blood all over you!
Blood blood! Blood blood–

[Wylder Treejumper]

Exactly.

[Captain Tammo]

It makes me wonder what tone the Redwall books would have taken had Brian not passed away...

[Feles]

High Rhuilain (Definitely how its spelled) believe it or not

[The Skarzs]

Doomwyte was like that for me. The heroes weren't particulary memorable, and the novel vermin tactics lost their sheen quickly.

Very true that. Didn't think of those things.

[Maudie]

I remember them all pretty equally, actually. The least memorable for me is probably...none of them. I remember all 22 and I loved them all. My most memorable, though, are Eulalia and High Rhulain.

[Delthion]

High Rhuilain (Definitely how its spelled) believe it or not

That is actually my least memorable book, together with Rogue Crew.

[Feles]

have to disagree for the Rouge Crew, it's one of my favorite Redwall Books

[Tam and Martin]

I honestly have no clue which was the least memorable. There were a couple I certainly didn't like as much but I can still say i remember most of what happened. The Sable I might say would be a least  memorable book, not for the book but for the fact that I read the book in one day when I had the flu, So I probably wouldn't be able to tell you much about it. I didn't like Redwall as much, but it is probably the most popular of the books at the library, on the internet, and for the tv series, so I know a good bit about it.

Another book I probably don't remember too well just because I didn't like it too much was The Bellmaker. I found it very boring, very repeating, and just in general, not exciting. The villains and heroes were a little lame and were pretty much duplicates of other people. There was nothing too special about them that I can Remember.

Lastly, The Legend of Luke wasn't too exciting at all. The Second book where they go into Luke's journey is an amazing part! I loved that and was intrigued with everything that went on in the second book, but the First and Third books almost felt like they were just trying to fill time and space. If I remember correctly, there wasn't any set villain, there were just various attacks and random adventures to fill time. It just seemed useless and I couldn't say that I remember a thing about the first and third book really.

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.

*spits water everywhere*

Salamandastron is like the peak of Brian's writing!

[Groddil]

Okay, after rereading Loamhedge, I got an issue.

Spoiler

The ending changes several times across about 3 pages. Seriously, it just shoves several different fake-outs down your throat without really caring about themselves.

1. Bragoon and Saro died to give Martha Sister Amyl's secret. Cool, except SHE'S ALREADY WALKING?!!?!
2. The "secret" is just a dumb rhyme about "if you want to walk, you can." Sure, because if that worked, Martha would have been walking a long time before the book started.
3. And then it turns out that they just FAKED the cheesy rhyme anyway, so it was as pointless as Bragoon and Saro's deaths. AND NOBODY CARES ABOUT THAT!!?!?!?1!! "Oh yeah, my brother killed himself to tell Mary-Sue that if she believes in herself, she can do anything. Oh, hang on. He did it for no reason, because the rhyme is fake. Oh well, I'm just going to laugh at his poor spelling. Martha, sing for me."

Yeesh.

[Jetthebinturong]

Haha! Someone agrees with me!

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

1. The haremaid just needed to believe in herself to walk which is a cop out and also entirely the wrong message to send.
2. Because of this Brag and Saro died for nothing.
3. It was Martin, an omniscient being, that sent them on the pointless quest.
4. That also makes Martin a less likable character.
5. Brag and Saro's death was completely contrived.
6. Lonna goes on a manhunt to wipe out the last of his enemies. Not really the kind of behaviour you expect in a Redwall protagonist.

The characters were interesting and the story could have been good, but the writing was just lazy and full of contrivances and the idea that the only way the haremaid could help was if she just decided she could walk sends a bad message.

Unfortunately, the Redwall books became repetitive and somewhat unmemorable after a time. The least memorable to me were Rogue Crew and Rakkety Tam. I couldn't even remember the name of the Rogue Crew when referencing one of its characters earlier and barely remembered Rakkety Tam existed, which is a shame because the name Rakkety Tam is cool. I just didn't find it heartwarming and found the Scottish dialect distracting.

[Delthion]

...we are no longer on speaking terms...Rakkety Tam is one of my two favorite Redwall books.

Lol *forces Delthion to remain on speaking terms*
I was like 11 when I read it and a bit prejudiced against the Scottish dialect and swashbuckling characters, so I could've been wrong.
