When did you read your first ANIMORPHS book?
« on: March 20, 2009, 12:50:47 AM »
Hi

When did you read your first Animorphs book?

1996 for me when "The Visitor" was released. I was more into Goosebumps and other stuff like that but I was ordering through one of those Scholastic book club dealies and I needed one extra book to get a discount on the order. My mom told me to pick "The Visitor" because Rachel looked pretty on it (this was all back when I was finishing 3rd grade).

I did not finish the series (I had read most of the books up to 20 and then 23, 27, and 28) and only got back into it last week...I've been madly reading the ebooks and have read 20 books so far (filled in the books I hadn't read and am now at 43).

First book I read was #1: The Invasion. I got it in the new school term in 1996 when a Scholastic rep came down and showed us all the new books that were out. Animorphs was one of the books that was part of her presentation. After reading #1, I was hooked. :D

I enjoyed activities and the company of friends. But they were a side dish. I always thought I would also be happy without them."

Ugh... anyone else notice how they made Rachel's character very unlikeable after the mid-20s and they went about it in a very obvious manner? It's like they ruined her character and she completely transformed - she became very spiteful, angry, and...b-tchy...

I'm so tired of everyone blaming the ghostwriters for how the characters turned out. You can hate their writing style, fine, but the ghostwriters never 'took over' Animorphs. They only helped K.A out so that she could have time to raise her kids and keep up with Everworld at the same time. All of the ghostwriters were also directly hired through her (Scholastic never pushed for it), so K.A still wrote all of the storylines and read and checked through the writings of all of the books. She often rewrote whatever she didn't like. In the end, if it was printed, then K.A. approved of it.

It was grade...2. So 1998. I bought a two pack of The Attack and The Exposed, and didn't understand either of them. But the pictures on the front were so pretty that I wanted to understand what was going on with them, and started buying them all and raiding my school's library.

1996, in my 5th grade classroom. Our teacher had #1 on the bookshelf. I fought with another kid named Nick over reading the "cool lizard book". He won, so I had to wait an extra month because Nick was a freaking slow reader. >.<

Grade 7, so 1997 or 1998. It was book 2, which was sitting in the school library.

I don't remember my first book. I just remember back in elementary school, a kid was reading one, and I asked what it was about. He told me and said they were good. About a year passed, and I saw some laying on a bookshelf in my local library, figured id read it, and grabbed one. It wasn't the first one, but I can't recall which. After that I was hooked, and read every animorph book the library had, which unfortunately wasn't all of them. I did, however, read through the whole series via ebooks right before I joined RAF
