True, but Harry Potter is also Reading level 5. So it doesn't really mean what the author's target audience is, it's just saying what ages would be able to read the material.

you don't have to feel bad about liking books meant for children, parker.

I hope you never have children, anijen... Forget protecting the innocent minds... you're out to dement those minds... lol...

But I don't think that Animorphs was not child-friendly... As far as content goes, anyway... A lot of preteens might have had difficulty understanding what was actually going on... but only because those kids have trouble understanding a lot of the world around them anyway...

Sorry, you got that color for 24 hours. You could try using the color code, but I don't know whether that or the b-day color takes precedence.

Anyways, I'm not ashamed to admit I enjoy children's books. I'm part of a children's book forum. Though as your post was more than likely a sarcastic comment for lack of a valid response, I'll leave it at that.

lol no you just seemed to be getting rather defensive about the recommended reading level and I was kind of like "dude look who you're talking to" you know?

Nope, not defensive, informative. Someone asked, I answered, you made a comment, I explained with an example.

*Off topic convo moved to PM*

I actually think that you can't appreciate some of the undertones in this series and in the indivdual books until you get older.

When I started reading the books I was an English language learner in High school with a limited English Vocabulary. Some of the words  I didn't understand back in the day.  But  Even with that i thought the story was very deep and interesting and i was totally hooked and even made the effort to find the Spanish versions.
Today I think I'm able to notice things and issues that back when i was younger  and with a limited Vocabulary could never have understood.
It has the KASU issues but if you take those little things aside and remember that it was aimed at a younger audience you can apreciate it more than if you are looking for errors.

There are many dangers for an Andalite in human morph. For one thing, there is the constant danger that you will fall off your two legs. The slightest push and you can topple over. But worst by far, is the danger of taste. Taste is the sense that can drive an Andalite mad! Especially is it involves cinnimon buns or chocolate.
