Only two more books to go, guys! Aaaaaah!

Loved that review. The part where Jake was telling the story so far was goddamn hilarious. I have to say that I don't remember this book quite as well as a lot of the others, but the opening and closing scenes never left me. For some reason, they were just so earthshaking to me, and I really can't tell why. As a side note, I'd just like to say that I'm really pumped to see how the Dealin' Dan Hawke saga ends.

I seriously need to catch up on these. I'll try not to nag gh too much, but could you get some more mp3 files rolling out? I'm thinking about just watching/listening to the youtube videos.

Yeah . . . yeah, I wouldn't count on that anytime soon. Sorry I didn't say anything, but between work, my three billion other projects, and my own laziness, I really don't have the time or ambition to do the MP3s. Sorry.

You can use this to download youtube vids into mp4s or mp3s

I just realized something: I work at a place with an internet connection. I have a smartphone. *facepalm*

How come get the feeling Dealin' Dan Hawke will be the polar bear at the end of series, somehow?

[Stephquiem]

I think this is actually my favorite Ax book.I like it a lot. <.< Also the review, as usual.

My favorite thing about this book, though, is that the last time I went back to read the beginning they brought up the idea of blowing the Yeerk Pool up, and it's a thing they actually did. idk, I like that, story-wise.

Finally caught up on the most recent two episodes, great work as always. Nice opening song choices by the way. Thanks to years of Supernatural, I can't help but imagine the intro song for the #54 video as being Carry On My Wayward Son by Kansas

I can't recall exactly when I found out about the involvement of the ghost writers, but it was definitely after I finished reading the series, a few years after I think. I won't deny I was disappointed when I found out, but it does explain the vastly different tone in some books and why some characters aren't always consistent with their development *coughCassiecough* It may also partially explain why Rachel is often portrayed as more reckless and aggressive when she's not the one narrating the book.

Looking forward to seeing the last two reviews, even though I don't want this project to end. I really want to watch the Dealin' Dan Hawke videos, but I'm not sure I can afford a regular donation. I'm not very familiar with how Patreon works.

Oh, and that highlight reel of Jake telling the Animorphs story to the National Guard? Funniest thing I watched in ages!

If it makes you feel better, I haven't gotten around to making them yet. Video stuff kind of complicated and weird last year.

(Next Animorphs video up in a few days!)

[Phoenix004]

Fair enough. I'm going to look into your Patreon anyway and see if I can afford to donate a little. I really enjoy your work

Just curious, do you actually work in retail? Because I can definitely relate to the "Because I don't want to work in retail anymore!" joke. I'd love to be able to make money doing something that isn't soul destroying.

poparena, do you still plan to review fan fiction? 

[YeerkSalad]

Y'know, although I originally planned to go through each of these reviews one by one, I think I'll listen to 54 right when comes out.

[Stephquiem]

I'm watching the review for #53 right now. Because I'm special.

...More like despite being a patron for ages, I'm finally actually making use of early access. <.< Whoops. Better late than never.

I do work in retail, have since the beginning of this project. Hey kids, if you're thinking about going to college, don't. Your degree don't mean a thing.

poparena, do you still plan to review fan fiction? 

That's still in the works. I'm aiming for a three-part video on fandom and fan-fiction, maybe for a summer release.
