I remembered loving the series as a kid and decided to revisit it as an adult, and I was shocked by how enjoyable it was to read. It can be a little silly at points but, overall, I'm loving this series just as much as I did the first time.

Into the Wild

seru ga yaa? i picked up this book because of the impressive stars and reviews. but i just can't pass this book beyond cute and silly. even the cover alone got me rolling on the floor chuckling. it's just, the kind of feeling i have for cats doesn't allow me to take this book seriously, hence the three stars. it's not bad, i just don't know exactly what i think about the book itself.

I read this series as a kid and I'm picking it back up again and oh boy I am baffled by how complex the plot is for it to be about a group of cats in the woods.

Briar's Reviews

Back in my youth, ALL of the popular kids (and I mean all, geez Louise) loved this book. It was always unavailable at all of the libraries in town so I never got the chance to pick this up. Then one day as an adult, I walk into a charity book shop and see this book sitting there. I think to myself, why not? Why not read this book and see if it was worth the hype? 

Unfortunately, it wasn't for me. Which, to be honest, isn't too surprising since I haven't liked any of the books the "popular kids" liked.

Keep in mind, I'm an adult. This book is made for a youthful, middle grade audience and not for me, the goofy adult who wants to jump back into their childhood. I'm sure younger audiences are obsessed with this book (and looking by other reviews, that's clearly correct).

To be blunt, I did not enjoy this book. 

Why?
1. Talking animals is one of those hit and miss things for me. I've found some really great books with talking animals, but this book just didn't do it for me. 

2. Too many characters with strange names. It was hard to keep track of all of them, even with the little list at the front. It hurt my brain too much.

3. Strange wording. The names were weird, but some of the actual content was strange. Narrowing eyes respectfully was a good one. The meowing being talking also confused me. It's like translating meows into English... can't we just pretend they teach English? It has to be meows? As an adult, I just couldn't grasp the concept. Kids would totally get this.

I absolutely, one hundred percent, recommend this book for kids and middle schoolers. This book is a real gem for the youthful reading community, but not for me. Not as an adult reading this to myself and not to a child. I wish I would have had the opportunity to read this book as a kid, because this totally would have been up my alleyway. I love cats and the fantasy nature of this seems so cool. I totally would have had a little hand written map with all of the names and relationships - I was that sort of weird kid. 

I'm sure some people won't appreciate this level of honesty, but seriously. Sometimes books are just not made for us as readers. Oh well, it is what it is! 

One out of five stars.

For generations, four clans of wild cats have shared the forest. When their warrior code is threatened by mysterious deaths, a house cat named Rusty may turn out to be the bravest warrior of all.

Lauren Hendrix

This review is kinda about the whole series. I first got this book as a kid (8 or 9) and picked it up a few times but never got around to actually reading it. I recently read it and liked it even though its a kid book and I am now a teenager. It's kinda hard to understand at first because of all the names but you eventually get it. The story is very good. If I was a kid I wouldn't care about how far-fetched it is but since i'm not a kid it sounds stupid how the cats are organized enough to have a leader, medicine cat, warriors and so on. Even so I still liked the books. The author does a good job of telling the story through Firepaw (later Fireheart then Firestar). She tells you the sights, feelings, and even the smells. I would have liked it more if I had read it at a younger age. Still good.

Haylie Belle

This book is very full of action and helpfully introduces the world of warriors. The first six books were definately my favorite.

Listen, for what this is? It's solid. I wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was, although it does have some logic/consistency issues. But I'm not gonna gripe about those too much; it's kid fluff and it does a good job at being that.

This story follows a young cat named Rusty who sits in his owner's backyard longing to jump over the fence and venture into the forest. One day, he becomes brave enough to do so an encounters several cats that welcome him into their Clan.

This is one of my favorite childhood series. Whenever I went to Barnes N Noble as a child, I immediately ran to the back to read these books. I recently have the privilege of buying the box set, so I am SO happy to dive back into this world. The whole aspect of different clans inside a little forest, and the way the author describes the cat's POV of the world is always so fun.

My favorite character would be (view spoiler)[ Firepaw of course! He is an amazing character to follow, and I can't wait to see how he progresses through the series again. (hide spoiler)]

Was in a nostalgic mood so I reread this. The warriors series is one of the first that got me into reading in the first place and holds an incredibly special place in my heart. I’ll forever be thankful to it and will forever be a fan of this series. I only got part of the way through it, because there are a lot of books out and I started others but this one book especially deserves lots of love

очень скучно, да что ж такое. почудилось, что пара штук заимствована из Watership Down, но если это и так, то по сравнению с великой книгой про кроликов эта меркнет еще сильнее

Kayla Smith

This is just a nice, fun nostalgic read for me. I devoured these books as a kid so it was nice to revisit these cats.

Ein Wald. Vier Clans. Und alle wollen überleben.

Jenseits der Menschen, tief verborgen im Wald, leben die Katzen der Clans wild und ungezähmt. Feuerpfote, der seine Zweibeiner verließ, um sich dem DonnerClan anzuschließen, genießt das stürmische Leben des Waldes in vollen Zügen. Seite an Seite mit den wilden Katzen lernt er zu jagen, seine Instinkte zu gebrauchen, er lernt den Wald zu hören und seine Feinde zu riechen. Doch das Leben stellt ihn auch immer wieder auf die Probe, denn der Platz ist eng, das Futter knapp. Blaustern, die Königin des DonnerClans, hat Zweifel, ob es der Clan schaffen wird, bis zur Blattfrische zu überleben. Da erfährt Feuerpfote von der Prophezeiung: „Nur Feuer kann den Clan retten!“ Was hat diese Prophezeiung zu bedeuten?

My daughter has read almost all of the Warriors books and begged me to read at least one. After somewhat reluctantly agreeing to read this one, I was surprised at how much I actually enjoyed it.

The author does a nice job with plot and pacing, keeping the action moving forward while filling in some detail on the different clans and their history at the same time. There is just enough intrigue to keep things interesting. 

I thought with so many characters, I would have a hard time keeping them all straight, but again, the author did well with fleshing out the characters and making each one an individual. That said, if readers do have a hard time remembering who is who (the cast of characters is rather large and most of them have "paw", "stripe", or "star" in their name), the author includes a list of characters in the front of the book. There is also a map showing each of the clan's territories.

When I finished the book, I did find myself wondering if I should feel bad for depriving our "kittypet" of the full life of a cat in the wild, but then reality set in as I realized that Fatpaw (as we nicknamed our cat) would never survive. The only thing I would have liked to see is a note from the author about how dangerous life really is for a stray or feral cat. The book defintely makes domesticated life seem like deprivation and drudgery for a cat and I would hate young readers to think that setting a cat "free" is a noble act of kindness. For most domesticated animals, it's a death sentence.

I like cats, I like books, and so many patrons request these books I finally gave in and gave Warrior Cats a try. I enjoyed it so much more than I expected. Rusty is a kittypet who wants more out of life and venture out into the forest where he runs into members of a clan of wild cats and decides to join. The book introduces the four clans, the customs, and dynamics of this world. The world building is amazing and I got completely lost into the story. I completely understand why these books are requested so often and I plan to continue the series.
