Amazon.com Review
When ferret Swartt Sixclaw and his arch enemy Sunflash the Mace swear a pledge of death upon each other, a young creature is cruelly banished from the safety of Redwall. As he grows, he seeks revenge on the people of Redwall and finds himself embroiled in a hostile battle with far-reaching consequences. An epic tale of Redwall from the pen of master storyteller Brian Jacques, Outcast of Redwall is a kaleidoscope of color, range, and emotions that culminates in a bitter contest between good and evil. None of the passion of the earlier Redwall titles is lost, as some of the most cherished landscapes and best-loved characters from previous books are revisited, with a wisdom and clarity that has developed and endured. On a basic level, this is a marvelous fantasy adventure story. Look deeper and you will find that Outcast of Redwall, along with the other titles in the series, has a divine, enduring quality that ranks it among he best in children's literature. --Susan Harrison

 Well....
The worst redwall I've read sorry about that but I wanted to read this book because of veil not beucase of sunflash.It seems jacques tried to mage two book ideas into one, bad idea brian. The veil plot was half planed out and another thing is it me or all the critters are dull and the same I mean brian didn't even try on veil. Read if you wanted to just don't expcet veil being the main plotline. P.S. my god the redwallers are pains in this one.
P.P.S. if want to write a book about a bad guy trying to be good NEVER KILL THEM OFF!

 Too much of the stereotype this time ( scoutcraftpiratess )
Can you say total bigotism is this book? While I think that any Redwall book is more than decent, I'm just not happy that this particular story decides that anyone outside the cuter woodland creatures is automatically evil. There are many directions this book could have gone to save it, but instead it went for a nice-but-not-thrilling plotline revolving around the aforementioned automatically evil.Still, Jacques is a master, and it is a worthwhile story to read. Just don't expect something super.

Cool, but sad.
This book is awesome. I'll totally give it that. The only thing I didn't like about it is it's so sad. There were just so many parts that made me feel dissapointed, betrayed, and just sad. There is an amazing battle near the end, which is great. So, all in all, this is a great book.

 Don't forget to read Outcast of Rrewall
Outcast of Redwall by: Brian Jacques is a thrilling adventurous fantasy but I would not recommend this book to kids who don't like to read. The story opens in the base camp of Sixclaw a evil weasel, where he was holding Sunflash hostage. At the same time when Sunflash was being held to a tree, a bird came down from the sky and saved Sunflash and they ran away together in to the woods. But little does Sunflash and the bird know is that Sixclaw was chasing them with all of his beasts so that they can kill Sunflash. Sunflash saves and meets a creatures on the way when Sixclaw sees Sunflash at a big battle he runs away so Sunflash has to chase him.When they see each other they battle for a long time but who kills who?
Sunflash the mace is a character driven to kill evil creatures. During the first chapter Sunflash is very weak mentally and physically who was a slave for the evil weasel Sixclaw. After he escapes he became strong and brave again. This creature gets captured a lot but always escapes and usually kills the animals that captured him. Sunflash never gets really tired unless he was just in a big battle. One of the settings was Salamandrostron it was a big city where badgers rule. Also Sunflash was going to be the next king. He got in trouble by the present king by going into a place where no one was supposed to go.
In conclusion The Outcast of Redwall is a book you should read because it is thrilling and it will make you want to read until you're finished.
