Summary: I'm a Redwall fan and a weasel lover and this is PATHETIC!
Comment: If there was a zero star option on this site then I would have immediately selected it.

I have read a very large number of animal fantasy novels am pleased to say that this is by far the worst. An almost direct copy of Redwall books like 'Pearls of Lutra', the transfer from the glades of Welkin to the great seas is not a pretty one (yes, I have read the other two Welkin Wesels books and the second one was actually quite good).

Disasters start from the beginning of the book. You actually have to read the other two books to find out what the heck is going on! Sylver's band are bleak in character, boring, humourless and, with weasels like Mawk, anoying, lame and totally unlikeable. The story is flawed, descriptions lack the beauty of Redwall and there is no passion whatsoever - it seems like only black letters on paper. Adding in humans at the end only makes the situation worse. Seriously, this book is terribly stupid.

You get my drift.

How come animal adventure books are now becoming cliched? It's hard to find any original ideas in the animal literature world today, and even once excellent series like Redwall have deterred in quality over the years. Let just hope the next Welkin Weasels 'adventure' is a better read.

Summary: a fun read
Comment: We bought this book on a lengthy trip to canada for my 10 year old who was already in love with the redwall series. One day I picked it up and started reading and was hooked. It's an imaginative story of woodland creatures. My son at first had trouble with weasels being the good guys, but as the book points out, there are good and bad in all creatures. It has the action little boys crave but with a gentler, kinder message. I plan to read it aloud to my sixth graders this year. I believe it will hold their attention well.
