I wouldn't have killed anyone off. That was a d!ck move. I hated her for that. Poor Tobias, now what will become of his life? He has literally no one. Rachel was essentially the only reason he hung around.

I would have more Andalites in it. I know that sounds dumb. Sorry.
yeah. I would have liked more Andalites too.
The ending was fine I guess a bit dark but yeah its a war and war is dark.
the whole The ONE thing was just a little to out of the picture though ..I wouldn't have added that.

THE ENDING. I would also want more to do with the Auxillary Animorphs.

The ending.  Definitely the ending.  It was traumatic and downright offensive to the dedicated readers.  I neither picked up nor thought about an animorph book for at least 5 years afterward.

OK, since the ending's been talked about to death, I offer this change:
No

I was not a big fan of the Helmacrons. They were amusing some of the time, but I feel they were more annoying than amusing.

I would take out some of the filler books (here here to no Helmacrons!) and instead make the books that revolved around the plot longer, more meaty.

I've never read a helmacron book so I can't judge that yet, and the ending's been done to death so....what would I change about the series....I would have liked for David to have stayed on the team a little while longer, maybe have a book where he narrates. Even though I didnt like him, David was a interesting character and it woulda been nice to see how long he'd last on the side of good. and then once he did turn bad I would have wanted to see him as more of a recurring villain. not really showing up in like every book but maybe every 5 to 10 books. just have him pop every now and then like drode and crayak

I to would make it so none of the main characters die. I personally hate it when authers do that, I mean the only reason I'm reading what they wrote and buying their books is because I like the story and characters that they created. I know the argument is that its not realistic for no one to die in a book series, but you know what I have enough reality in my real life that's why I read books is to escape from reality! So yeah I dislike character death and there's a number of book I would change that in! (sorry that's my rant for the day) ;)

The only other things I would change about the series (besides the obvious I wish it would have been longer.) Is that I would update it to this century. For example change the referances to stuff like the playstation to playstation 3 and how cool would it be for Tobias to have a little MP3 player, I know if I could turn into a bird I'd want some flying tunes. lol Although it is interesting to read some of the references in the books and realise just how much technology has changed in such a short time.

I concur.  There was soooooooooooo much she could have done with him.  The forced trilogy seemed out of place.

Okay, now my eyes are tearing up.  You're totally right.  That's easily something I would change from the series.  Reading about Rachel practically killed me.  This was a series that taught us that war is Hell, but I think KAA drove the point too much.  The Animorphs lost so much.  I read book #54 when it came out in... 2001, was it?  I haven't touched it since.  It's too painful.  That was probably the worst book ever written.  It did need to be about five times longer.  Why read over 50 books featuring characters you love, only to read that they die, and you don't really find out what happens to the rest of them?    :'(

I would have had that the animorphs greaved rachels death, and moved on, became succesful and more happy, you know?

Jake and Tobias seem to be the only ones who grieved. Though Jake showed signs of moving on by taking a job. Marco and Ax were the least close to Rachel. I don't know what Cassie's thing was. I guess she was just trying really hard to separate herself from the past three years.

Marco the least close to Rachel? He only had the biggest crush on her, remember the dream he had in which she begged him to marry her?

Ax I could believe. Ax was afraid of her. Marco and Cassie, not so much.

When you think about all of the tiny things like this put together, then you really get into how horrible the last book was.
