MemberWell, I’m rather excited about it. This is my first “new Redwall book coming out” experience, as I just finished reading the series. Hopefully it will turn out good!

MemberUpdate from the book signing! I went last night, it was fun, we bought his two most recent books there and got them signed, and he gave a funny presentation. He is a born entertainer, I imagine he was an excellent stand-up comedian in his younger days. He recited/acted the description of Cluny the Scourge from Redwall. I absolutely love his accent!

I started reading Doomwyte aloud to the sibs almost as soon as we got home. It’s a little bit creepy alright. He managed to make me shiver within the first couple chapters.

MemberCaps lock difficulties, Pip?

Is the plot any different from the standard Redwall formula, Alassiel?

MemberWell, I haven’t really gotten far enough to tell, but it doesn’t look like it. However, this time the riddles were written by Gonff himself, and it has a lovely spooky edge. I’ll let you know when I get further whether it looks any different.

MemberGonff wrote them? Cool.

MemberAw, he was so cute!
Naw, Aly, you musta not seen me other post; I said I was on the phone at the time so putting on caps lock was easier.

MemberI’ve just finished Doomwyte. It has the elements of the previous 19 books (i.e. Riddles, songs, feasts, quests, battle at the end, etc.) but the plot is quite refreshingly different. I won’t say too much, but it was different enough that I found myself wondering what was going to happen next, instead of predicting the climax way before it happened.

MemberI’m still waiting for it to come in from the library. Was it really really creepy?
October 25, 2008 at 2:10 pm #41464Jordan
MemberUm, not really… It seemed a bit darker, but really, it didn’t top Castaways of the Flying Dutchman.

MemberUm, I haven’t read that. Could you compare it to something else?
