Do you skip the morphing paragraphs?
« on: May 03, 2010, 07:06:06 PM »
Hello everybody, as you can tell, I'm pretty new here ;)

Anyways, I have been skimming some of the forum topics for a few days now and it has stimilated my Animorph charge.  Reread, Andalite Chronicles and on book 5 again, anyways..
I am not sure if anyone else does this, but I found myself skipping a bunch of paragraphs that are all about morphing, I mean I know its cool but I just....
Anyways, I would like to hear your thoughts :)

those are definitely skim-worthy

as are the chapter one recaps, though those can be fun when they claim things that are just blatantly untrue.

I enjoyed activities and the company of friends. But they were a side dish. I always thought I would also be happy without them."

I skip. Don't need a rehash each and every book.

If it's a new morph I don't skip
If it's old hat, I skip on by

I don't skip, but I do skim through them quickly, now that I've read them all. When they were new at the time, I read through all of it. :P

the first time i read each book, i did read the morphing bits. towards the end of the ghostwritten books, however, i'd skip over the intro pages.

now i skip over both indiscriminately.

Is this thread for real?!?!?
The morphing is the whole guimmick of the series! WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO SKIP IT?!
I love the visuals KA built into our heads of the morphing never being predictable and the sensations that each of the Anis had. If you ask me, we didn't get enough of it! Heheheh!

I tend to skip descriptions of morphs that I've read before, like the bird morphs. New morphs I'm less likely to skip.

This. Typically, by the end of the series this time through, I was skimming every morph to see if something really interesting happened, but I certainly wasn't reading every one detailed after probably book 25 or so.

Doing a deliberate reread I read everything, on a random revisit to the series I'll skip recaps and morphs

Unless something particularly strange happens in the morph: marco's finger bones coming out of his body comes to mind
