The Opinionated Animorphs Book Guide!

Yayyyyyyyy! A new one's up. These always make my day

[Phoenix004]

Very fun book and a fantastic review as always. I also ship Rachel/Marco Sorry Tobias, you're great but Marco and Rachel have much better chemistry in my opinion.

I remember being so excited reading this book! I got #45 onwards (right up to #54) all at once for Christmas one year and spent half the day reading, lol. It's obviously a huge turning point in the series and I'm glad Marco was narrating it. He's always been my favourite character.

Wow, that's like the shortest length of time between OABG reviews! Are you gonna push the rest of the final arch that quickly?

[poparena]

Barring any major real life events, yeah, I intend to have the series done AT LEAST by November, maybe even October.

[Stephquiem]

You know, considering this is the shortest book in the series, I'm surprised how much padding there is. O.o

[Dylan]

I kinda like this book, despite all the filler. I feel like it could/should have been longer though. Isn't 37 the shortest book?

[Stephquiem]

37 is a good 11 pages longer than 46.

It's been a couple years since I've read this book and I don't remember much, but from what I do remember and from what you said in the review, it was boooooring. The character stuff from Ax didn't become important until the very last few books (and even then, it wasn't as good as his stuff in book 52), and there was a ridiculous amount of padding. That long, ridiculously drawn-out passage where Jake is going over the specs of the airplane is proof enough of this.

[Phoenix004]

Glad to see another review so soon, and nice touch with the Pogs 90s nostalgia.

There are a couple of good moments in this book, mostly the beginning scene contacting the Andalites and the end scene with Ax threatening to drop the nuke. Aside from that, I sadly have to agree that the book as a whole isn't well written, and definitely becomes more forgettable because of it. The action scenes could have been great if they weren't so disorientating.

So I've FINALLY managed to sit down and start listening to these. And I made it through all of them in like a week. They're very entertaining, and endlessly nostalgic. Poparena, I also find your speculative theories and little fanfic-y suggestions, many of which aren't things I've thought about before, to be fascinating. You've got me realizing just how badly I need to do a reread of the series.

Anyway, I guess I'm trying to say you've made a new fan ^_^

[Phoenix004]

I told you Poparena's videos are awesome And yes I also feel like I'm way overdue for a series re-read.

[SmartGirl333]

I should probably continue to watch this. When will you do the Ellimist Chronicles? I love that book, even if your subs don't!

[Phoenix004]

Happy Birthday Poparena! Best of luck with all your videos/projects in the future.
