 Written on July 7, 2006 Summary: It is okay When I first read this book, I was eleven years old. I adored it. The mystery was intriguing, the settings were vivid, the characters were so perfect. All the things I had come to love about Brian Jacques's books........ .....then I grew up..... .....and reread it once more. The beginning is nice. A mute boy and his dog are trapped aboard a ship with a tyrranical, but intelligent villain. Perhaps I like the beginning so much because both Den And Neb were unable to speak. ....then they got their voices. I curse that angel for providing them with tongues. The parts with Luis were are still nice, Neb is still a normal boy, and Den is, well, not so normal, but okay anyway. Now we come to the worst part. Neb, now Ben, and Den, now Ned, arrive in Chapelvale, guided by their angel to save the poor little village. Cliche if ever I saw one. And Ben and Ned are so corny, I wanted to throw up all over the pages. Everything is happy happy, laughy laughy, all the good guys love us, all the bad guys hate us. Ben is so brave, wow I love him. Ned is so smart and funny, ha ha ha. I HATE Ben and I HATE Ned. They were so stupidly portrayed, I wanted the Grange Gang to steal a couple rifles and blow them away. Not that the gang were any better. They were the typical idiotic villians who made all the mistakes; never got anything right. It made me sick! And in the end, they realized they were in the wrong, and became Alex and Amy's friends. Awwwwww, how sweet. Not recommended for Redwall fans, well i guess i should say fans of the old Redwall books, because the new ones are really driving me nuts with their recycled plots and sleazy-cheesy characters. Cummon brian Jacques, iknow you can do better! Are you getting old? Written on February 2, 2006 Summary: Flying Dutchman Review Ben, a boy who cannot speak, runs away from his cruel home. He then accidentally finds himself on a crazed pirate's ship commanded by Captain Vanderdecken. There, he meets the friend who will be with him for the rest of his life, a dog he names Ned. When Vanderdecken curses the heavens for his bad luck in passing the dangerous Cape Horn, an angel ascends from heaven and banishes the captain and his crew to sail the seas for eternity. But Ben and Ned are blessed with special gifts. Ben is given the powers of speech and they are both given the power to talk to each other through their thoughts. The angel finally gives them the gift of eternal youth and commands them to go about the world and help those in trouble. They are then thrown from the ship and find themselves on the shores of Cape Horn. This is another brilliant novel by Brian Jacques and as always, employs bits of humor, suspense, and riddles. This novel follows the two companions throughout Europe as they follow the angel's commands. This book is recommended to all Redwall fans and kids from the age of 7 to 12.  Written on September 12, 2005 Summary: Fly back in time I have always loved the ocean, and this book really helped me to discover it. I have a very high reading level for a seventh grader, and you can easily see that unlike some of the redwall books (which I absolutely adore!) it is supplied to a slightly older audience. This is a wonderful read. If you feel like you were born into the wrong time, this book will take you back to when there really were pirates, and mysteries were fun, as well as exiting. Thank you, Mr Jacques! Written on January 31, 2005 Summary: Castaways of the Flying Dutchman Recently I read Castaways of the Flying Dutchman, by Brian Jacques. This book is about a mute boy and his dog that live on the boat, the Flying Dutchman. Suddenly one day, the boat is visited by an angel that gives a message to the crew, "Mortal man, your greed and your cruelty has turned the Maker against you. You will now be forced to sail the waters of this world for eternity". The entire crew perishes except for the boy, Ben, and the dog, Ned because of their "innocence of heart". Soon the pair realizes the angel had granted them immortality and given them the task of helping those in need. Not only did the angel grant them immortality, it also bestowed Ben with speech and allowed Ben and Ned to communicate with each other with their minds. Several hundred years later, the duo reach a small town called Chapleville and decide to stay there awhile. Soon they come to love this town. To their dismay, they later find out that it will be demolished shortly. Now to save their beloved town and those that live there, Ben and his faithful dog Ned must unravel a series of complicated riddles and puzzles before time runs out. Castaways of the Flying Dutchman is a fantasy book set in the year 1896 in the town of Chapeville where Ben and Ned live. The author did a good job of supplying strong details to make the story come alive and giving characters, such as the dog, a strong sense of humor. I would recommend this book to all kids who enjoy fantasy books and have enjoyed other books by Brian Jacques such as the Redwall Series. This was one of the more detailed and interesting fantasy books I have read recently and certainly better then the mystery books I tried. This book was a welcoming change from the author's Redwall books, and certainly was not a disappointment. The book brought new kinds of characters and problems that were different and exciting then those of other books I had read such as Redwall or The Eye of the World. I would say that this book was at least as good as other ones from the author, maybe even better. The author used good examples in his text to make it appear as the story were happening right in front of you rather then you reading a book. The author did such of a good job with the characters that when they succeeded I wanted to jump for joy or the opposite if they were defeated. I only put this book down for school, homework, and dinner it was so good. If you want to read an exciting and thrilling fantasy book, then Castaways of the Flying Dutchman is the book for you.
