It's nice, it's nice.  It's heated, but it's all civil.  All good in the hood, homeskillet.

lolol! Uncle Russell.

The author isn't infallable. Especially after she loses interest in the series she's been working on. That's pretty clear when a lot of the last half of the books are ghostwritten, and the last words of her final book advertise Remnants. She lost her stuff.

If I could change one thing in the series... I would have added an awesome British guy called Mike to the Animorphs team!  ;)

Lost interest, or had two other series going on at the same time?

Time management doesn't equate to a lack of interest.  Hell, I'd say coming in to take back the reigns and finish the series the way she saw fit would allude to a pretty strong interest.  You know she could have let the ghosties finish it, while she worked on Everworld/Remnants, and still fulfilled the contract, right?

Because we're both lovable and adorable? *cutesy smile*

Another thing I would change would be bringing in The One. I think that it was too out of no where for the last book. I would have kept the conflict as the Yeerks. Or, introduced The One earlier on in the series.

Yes, but fans don't memorize details and follow a series for 64 books to have a totally random ending. Suddenly all those books of preparation are useless.

It wasn't totally random.

It was pretty random, as The One was only mentioned once. And even then, not in the main series.

Well the biggest things I would change would be continueing the series so we know what was going on with The One and Rachel would stay alive.

I love the randomness of the ending, I love the feeling that the story continues, but the total cliffhangerness of it all drives me crazy!

And Rachel I would only keep alive because of Tobias.  Really if I thought it would work I'd just say give Tobias counciling and have him find a nicer girl.  It would be nice for Jake too but I have the feeling he'd be guilty over everything else anyway  ::)

I think the fact that she started two other series kind of hints to the fact that she was losing interest in Animorphs. Otherwise, why wouldn't she finish Animorphs before starting multiple other series? Especially a series where books come out each month.
