This book is separated into three sections and each section is a story. There are only to main characters. The first one is a blind boy named will who gets visited by an angel when he needs to know where their destiny will take them. The second is the boy's dog. They both can talk telepathically. They have and are going many adventures throughout this book. Compared to many of the books I have read this book seems to have the most adventure. It's not jus this book but most of the books I have read from the Redwall series are quite similar to this book.

The story was great,This was like 'Pirates of the Caribbean', plenty of adventure and some gory bits too. The characters have already worked their way into your heart from the first book, but this one is even better. It is a little darker and though written for children, will appeal to many older readers who seek adventure on the high seas. Jacques description of the beef on the spit at the beginning is enough to draw you in and make your mouth water. Not much more to say, but this is written well and the story is hard to stop reading once you begin.

I personally love sea adventure stories and I loved this series. The relationship between the boy and his dog is something to marvel at as they travel through the ages. And I enjoyed how the boy and his dog helped people on their journies. good read :)

The Angel’s Command is the sequel to The Flying Dutchman written by Brian Jacques. Although it is a sequel, the two books don’t intertwine much. You can read the second book easily without reading the first, as I did. It is about Ben, a boy, and Ned, a black Labrador Retriever. The two can telepathically communicate with each other. In The Angel’s Command, the two go on two main adventures; aboard a French pirate’s boat and in the mountains of Europe. The dynamic duo meet friends that help them along the way, but also meet evil villains who try to destroy them. Will Ben and Ned be able to escape danger?
The Angel’s Command is a very detailed and action filled book. A lot happens to Ben and Ned inside the 340 pages of the book, it almost feels like too much happens. There are so many villains and friends of the two that it sometimes gets hard to remember who is who. Someone who likes an almost all action book would like this. I would also recommend this book to people strictly for entertainment. Throughout the book, I couldn't find an overall theme or “so what?”. Although I feel you couldn't learn much through this book, it still is a fun read.
I liked all the action in The Angel’s Command. It was fun to see Ben and Ned escape from dangerous situations. I disliked how it went into great detail about things that seemed unimportant to the story. Sometimes Jacques would drag on over a meal they were eating. Why do I need to know the texture of their fire-grilled lamb? Other than this, The Angel’s Command is an exciting and fun read for the action lovers.

The best of the trilogy. Brian jacques did really good on this one. Ben and Ned are as great as ever and the new characters are likable. The ending has a fantasy twist to it that the other's don't

I had this during my sophomore year when we were required to have this for our book report. It didn't cross my mind that I'll be loving this book. This is one of my favorites. An immortal child with his talking dog as his best friend... This book gave me adventure. Oh gosh, reminiscing it all makes me want to re-read it again :)

I liked it better than the first...This is a serious book in children's wrapping. Those unused to Jaques fire-side stories may not understand the allure his books have. They are traditional in the best sense of the word: enjoyable, identifiable, and with a clear sense of right and wrong devoid (mostly) of any specific religion...the Castaway series is more Christian than his Redwall series, but not overbearingly so, and the moral lessons are universal.

Once again, I thought Brian Jacques did an amazing job with this book. The first part of the book was a little slow, with being on ships most of the time, but when I got to the second half when Ben and Ned met Karay and Dominic, I didn't want to stop reading. The action when they are fighting the Razan and trying to find Adamo really grabbed my attention, and I can't wait to read the last book in this trilogy.

"A surety that Good will triumph over Evil, always"

I personally like books where characters are obviously good or evil, this is another of those. There is evil in here, a witch, and well, the Flying Dutchman, and other bad characters. I listened to this as an audio book and it was magnificently done, it had a full cast. Some younger children may find a few scenes frightening (for the evil voices and such are very well done). The story is fairly simple, and sometimes a little predictable, but also very amusing and enjoyable to listen to.

I liked this one much better than the first. I guess the story was more engaging, instead of the riddles the first book had, that one seemed a lot like Redwall. Whole new story here though, very interesting.
