I say the ending makes sense, it should be depressing and unhappy.

It just needed to be longer and more detailed, and while the ending should, like it did, lead to another fight based on the characters, I didn't like the fact it was such a sheer faced cliff. Yeah, a well made cliffhanger is an okay ending, but such a sharp direct one is annoying.

It was in 1998.
My father bought me the first five volumes of the book because he thought it was an animal encyclopedia. He didn't read the back cover.

Well...

Parents are liable to do that  ;D

I read my first book last year actually my older sibling had bought some when she was younger. I read the ones we had and then I filled in the gaps by buying some from a used bookstore.

I actually don't know when I started reading Animorphs but I was already on the David Trilogy in 6th grade and I read the books in order so I'm guessing around then  :P  That was almost 9 years ago.

I was in fifth grade, they were selling them during a book fair. The date I bought and read them are stamped in my first Animorphs book Megamorph #1: The Andalite Gift (The only book, plus the last 6 books that I didn't lose. Bought them all back except for #42 The Journey, which I can't find). Anyways the date is May 12th 1997. Wow that will be twelve years in 2 months :o

ohh bookfairs! I loved bookfairs. And the monthly catalogues! My boyfriend's little brother gets them and I look through them eagerly, lol. That's where I joined the animorphs club :)

It was also when the first book was released.  I had just moved to Ohio from California then and it was a bit of a culture shock- and so whenever I needed a break, I'd borrow a book from the library and check into the world of the Animorphs :)

I don't remember the year but it was when I was given 4 books, 10, 12, 13 and 16
I read # 10 and was very annoyed whit Marco's arrogance and decided that I didn't like the book. Many years later I decided that as I had the books I had to read them. I read one of the others... and then I couldn't stop. As they had stopped publish Animorphs after book 16 and megamorphs 1 and 4, I went to the red cross to find a new one. They had # 5 at that time.

By the way, I like Marco today, he has even been my favourite sometimes.

Fifth grade. I found some of them on the teacher's bookshelf, decided the series was nice, and checked out a few more from the library.

This was in 2001/2002, so I was kinda late to it.

I began Animorphs in 1998, or maybe end of 1997, with the volume #1. I was more into Anne Rice's novels, and a little in Shadow Zone and Spooksville. But as I forget my past, I can't remember why nor when I bought my first Animorphs...

the laws of reality make it so that no libeary has all of the animorph books.

its physicaly impossiable
All 54 or all 64? Because we have all but Ellimist chronicles.

and I happened to see book 4 and 3 and checked them out. it was like 1996 or something
