Sloppy ending

[UEDfleet]

How do u know it would end earlier? where does this assumption come from

[Duff]

cause the final arc was nine books long....so if she had started the end 6 books earlier, the series would have ended six books earlier

[UEDfleet]

it could have been more spaced out and have more detail though

[goom]

i think she should have made 54 either longer or multiple books.
she should still make another one. i'd give a limb for 55.

[estrid]

ya see thats what im talking bout. she had to cram stuff in cuz she wanted to be done by 54. but had she started ending it sooner she coulda fit more stuff in and still be done by book 54

[UEDfleet]

well estrid, the important thing is that you enjoyed the series. even if you hate the ending, Animorphs was an excellent series that gave much more happiness throughout the series then it could possibly take away in the end. Do you agree?

[goom]

hells ya.
i think endings could always be better, whats really sad about the ending was the fact that there would be no more new books.

i liked the mid-section of the series of the best, but there were a few gems that just stood out.

I'm still on the fence about whether I like the whole new plot she added at the end, so I would say 54 could be shorter, even.  She could just take that section out. xD

I dunno, the ending can ruin a series for some people. ~coughharrypottercough~

yeah, she should have either left it out or continued it.

what i'd REALLY like to see is a complete remake (in a more mature style) of the whole series.
that'd be great

if she wanted to do that, why doesn't she just make more than 54 books?

Why would people want a remake of Animorphs to be MORE mature? It was already borderline too much for a kid's series. Personally I'd tone down the seriousness. Of course, if there's going to be more maturity I'd like more main characters to die off throughout the series. New ones could come along via different means. That way most people won't be shocked and appalled by Rachel's death at the end.

[Duff]

well more mature and more adult would be cool for us cause we are all older than we were when it first came out

id say it was mature enough tho, i wouldnt want it to lose any of the humor and everything

it could have been more spaced out and have more detail though

its possible they gave them a specific number of books to finish it up, but maybe ka was just like okay its time on her own, hopefully they'll come back and we can ask

UED i'm one of those ppl where the ending of a long series is super important. after ive invested all this time (5 yrs is  a bit much) and interest into a series, i expect  a well thought out ending not the rushed ending that it was. but overall ya i hate cliffhanger endings. i dont care if every1 dies, yes that woulda pissed me of and i woulda hated it, but i woulda hated it a bit less cuz i woulda known what happened with every1

i just mean in the way it is written.
not scholastic reading level and page size.
more of an adult novel, if you know what i mean.

not the maturity of the content. that was a perfect balance.

Ah well, to each his/her own, I guess.  I like cliffhanger endings. xD

And I would have loved it if Animorphs had been a YA series and been more mature, like Everworld was.
