Best Ending Lines
« on: April 05, 2011, 09:05:19 PM »
     This was mostly intended for the endings of the book, but I realiazed halfway through writing this that my choice for "Best ending line" was the end to a chapter...

     Anyways, mine would be this: (paraphrased)

     Ax: Rachel...I would like to never speak of this again.

     The Solution, second last chapter...

     It sends chills down my spine whenever I think about that quote.

I'm not sure about an ending line but a great beggining one: "My name is Jake Berenstiene" (I don't know how to spell it.) That sets up a whole mental realization. Their secret is out. The war is going public.

The ending of #48 always gave me chills.  I am of the opinion that it is the best ending of any book in the entire Animorphs series.  I'm not a huge fan of the book itself, mind you, but that ending was so powerful that it still blows my mind.

Ax crying at the end of The Arrival. (Was that the right book) I think it's the first time we truly get the weight of his lonliness. But it's also the time we see that Ax really isn't alone here, because Cassie sensed his sadness and cared about him enough to be with him in this very vulnerable moment.

I like how Tobias closed out MM2

Who are you going to believe, me, or some scientist with a bunch of old fossils?

"My name is Jake Berenstiene" (I don't know how to spell it.)

It was "Berenson" :)

I can think of a few that gave me chills, but probably the two that jump out at me the most are the endings to #1 and #3.

If that was the Ellimist Chronicles then me too ^^ Definitely one of my favourites.

Hard to cap that really. The best that anyone can really ask for at the end of their lives.
