It's true, Tobias is a little annoying in the 3rd book... but look, there is worse! I read twice (TWICE) Interview with the vampire... and I don't know anybody more annoying than Louis!! lol
So Tobias isn't so annoying ^_^

Yeah, I kind of got annoyed at times. It was such an unresolved conflict. In each book he would go through a pattern:

1) Torn about being hawk-boy but dealing (usually because of Rachel).

2) Something happens that makes him utterly depressed about his predicament (ie: he kills for the first
time, he eats roadkill, he finds out that his long-lost cousin is really an evil alien warlord hell-bent on his
death, he gets tortured by a masochistic, narcissistic Yeerk...)

3) He mopes about his situation in endless train-of-thought passages (and Rachel comforts him).

4) Something happens where he is able to prove himself and he can come to grips with his situation.

5) He's perfectly fine being hawk-boy.

Somehow even though most books end with him content (whilst still a bit wistful) by the next time a book comes around with his narration, he's back at #1. I love Tobias, but after awhile...sheesh! Tone down the all the mope! I can only handle so much!!

Maybe that's why he only got a book on the second cycles. :)

That's a very good analysis, Terenia. Mind ranking the Animorphs for me? This is my list:

1) Marco
2) Ax
3) Rachel
4) Jake
5) Tobias
6) Cassie
This great evil - where's it come from?
How'd it steal into the world?
What seed, what root did it grow from?
Who's doing this?
Who's killing us, robbing us of life and light, mocking us with the sight of what we mighta known?
Does our ruin benefit the earth, aid the grass to grow and the sun to shine?  Is this darkness in you, too?  Have you passed through this night?

what's weird is that she's my third favourite as well. although I placed tobias (1st) and ax (second) before her.

Personal listing:
1) Ax
2) Tobias
3) Cassie
and 4, 5, and 6 are taken up by Jake, Marco, and Rachel, though not necessarily in that order. I didn't really have a "least favorite" Animorph.

1) Marco/Rachel: I identify with these two Animorphs the most. Their personalities match up with mine (I'm not sure thats a good thing. Adrenaline junkie and cynicist? Bad combo.)
2) Ax: I bumped Ax up recently, after rereading the series. I think he's hilarious, although sometimes unintentionally so.
3) Tobias: As much as he can be annoying (see my last post on this topic) he has some of the better books and has such an interesting backstory.
4) Jake/Cassie: Jake is boring and Cassie, while she has some of the absolute best books also has some of the worst. Also their relationship annoys me for some reason.
