I never really liked #2...the two friends in real life that care about Animorphs I have liked it though and are mad at me. One of them just likes every book and the other is a huge Rachel fan...But, Michael said it sucked (on steroids) so that doesn't make me feel bad about hating it.
There's a method to my madness, I just haven't figured it out yet.

I read #2 recently, and don't think it was bad at all.

#2 was fairly good for an early book.

Meh... they probably hated it for the lack of Rachel-battle-scene. But its one of the earlier books, and like morfowt said, its pretty good for one.

It depicts the effects of Yeerk infestation in the family... kind of important in the series...  :)
I'm just a writer, and my main goal was always to entertain. But I've never let Animorphs turn into just another painless video game version of war, and I wasn't going to do it at the end. I've spent 60 books telling a strange, fanciful war story, sometimes very seriously, sometimes more tongue-in-cheek. I've written a lot of action and a lot of humor and a lot of sheer nonsense.

#44 isn't really that bad.... not too good... but it wasn't bad either.. I kinda liked the first parts of the book.. where Cassie gets a lot of action LOL.  ;D

It's kind of funny that you would think this, since you normally can't stand that everyone thinks you already hang around with kangaroos. Then Animorphs goes and does the stereotypical thing and puts them in everywhere, with boomerang fighting locals too, of all things, lol :P

Granted it did not show real kickbutt action with Rachel, but it does show what the Yeerks are doing to families.

I don't like #42 either but my reason is because it has helmacrons in it. I absoluetly hate the helmacrons. If there weren't helmacrons, that book would be one of my favourites.

I wasn't crazy about The Experiment. Kind of annoying, not really worth reading in my opinion.
If you are not in my avatar, and would like to be, or if you changed your name and avatar and would like me to update it, PM me. I cannot add or change anyone at the moment as I lost the file I use for this, but if people still want in, I'll work on it.

I am RAFmarried to my sweet shnukums, Rachel. ;D

are you kidding? #28 was great. How ironic at the end they didn't even have to do anything to stop the plan. and the scene where cassie turns out to be right was funny.
