Title: Not much of a change from Redwall!
Product review: The Redwall books have been getting quite similar lately, so I thought this book by Brian Jacques, written outside the Redwall series, would make a change. But I was wrong. Its getting boring how all of Jacques' books follow the same plot.There is always some cryptic puzzle to solve, the plots are predictable, and the characters aren't memorable. This one actually starts off better then most with the scenes onboard The Flying Dutchman, but quickly becomes boring. Brian Jaques has already written too many similar books- I wish he would write something completly different, like one of his earliest books, Seven Strange and Ghostly Tales. For now, all I can say is skip this one, and if you're looking for a real plot and some surprises and good writing, read Robin Jarvis' books. They haven't had the recognition they deserve for being twice as good as anything Brian Jacques could write.
