Just wanted to throw this out there....
I hadnt read Animorphs in about 7 years; I read them from the age of 9-11, hungrily devouring the books; our school library had a great deal of the books, not all but most, so I read most of them but a bit out of order, and the last 10 books except for the last book (the beginning) weren't there. Regardless, I loved Animorphs and in my elementary days would take out a few books from the school library every week.
I did own a few books that werent in the library, and I found them a few weeks ago, and it brought back the memories of animorphs, of the days where I had immersed myself into the story of the teenagers who turned into animals... I had this craving to read the series again, and I found this website.
I'm 17 years old and somewhat of a literary scholar; I consider myself an excellent writer and reader, and have read and enjoyed books of all levels since my days of animorphs- from Harry Potter to A Tale of Two Cities.
I went to the E-book section and became hooked. In the past two weeks i read all the books from the main series and I have to say, in my opinion, these books do indeed have the levels discussed earlier- i had appreciated them as a kid, and now, almost 10 years later, i enjoyed them greatly now. They are literary triumph because they mix light humor, action, dark themes, and adventure. When i was a kid i hadn't read the last 10 books, so i was actually surprised how EPIC the battle actually became, and the decisions Jake made near the end, in the second to last book. I really don't think i could have appreciated the political and moral commentary there.
The books are written simply, yet the style (i am slightly disappointed to find out they were written by ghostwriters, but i couldn't really tell the difference) flawless in its simplicity.
I can definitely say that the books are not just as good as i thought they were, but far better. Animorphs is awesome.
