Do you skip the morphing paragraphs?

[Kitulean]

I definitely skip the recaps and the old morphs. I know they were trying to make it accessible from any book, but yeesh.

[Zanshiro]

It is ironic as Gafrash mentioned, the actually morphing process itself within AniMORPHS gets repetitive lol, and not what I look forward to.  Even though I have to admit in Book 5, where lobster legs exploding from Jakes Chest was pretty cool.

[Natureboy3]

I always read the morphing paragraphs. They're so cool!

If it is the feature animal of the book, like the gorilla in #5, then I read the description, but if it's one of the morphs they use every book then no.

For me it depends on how much I've already been reading. If I'm blowing through several books in a row, then I'll start to skim the morphing and recaps unless something notable happens--I agree with whoever mentioned Marco's finger bones. That's the kind of image that stays with you.

I always remember the part where Tobias describes Rachel morphing into a bald eagle and how it's like watching her soul emerge from her body.

I can't remember what book it was in, though.

But unless any character or plot development occurs, I skip right to the part where the animal mind emerges. Yesterday I was watching a dog run around and I literally said, "I wish I could turn into that dog." Everyone stared, but I just love imagining the world from behind animal eyes.

Not me,I read the WHOLE book,if that means reading the morphing paragraphs,so be it.

[Agent 128]

I never skipped one of those scenes because it's part of the story and I want to be sure to read everything.

[Blaise Zebrataur]

So true,not sure why anyone would skip over the morphing bits,but hey its their choice.

[goom]

i refuse to skip anything.

i'll skim the intros, of course (if there's a 2.0 they better not do that again), but not the morphing.

granted, i won't be as fascinated as i was when i read the series initially.

You've only read 2 of the books so far. They get really repetitive after awhile. Though I never skipped them. Not a single one.

[Icedevimon]

I didn't skip them the first time, but I do skip them when I re-read the books. They are nice for kids I think, but being older they get repetitive for me. Even when I RP in Pokemorphs I tend not to write out the morphing scenes unless it's a brand new morph.

[Darth Zakryn]

I skip, sure, because sometimes they get WAY too complicated. The most glaring example I can think of is Marco morphing Spawn in book #20 -- seriously, several pages, almost a whole chapter? I know she wanted to focus on the aspect of morphing, but seriously, that's too much in my opinion. But then again, the great parts of the series far outshadow the bad, so I'm not complaining. Just stating an idea. (shrug)

[KitsuneMarie]

I nearly always skipped the morphing scenes, even in my early Animorphs days. Sure, some of the descriptions are great, but I just wasn't that interested in it. To me, morphing was never anything more interesting than a versatile tool to fight the Yeerks; I didn't care how Jake got from human to tiger, just what he did once he was in morph.

[Darth Zakryn]

So true! But everyone's entitled to their opinion. I would have liked some of them with less detail. I can understand how K.A. wanted to emphasize some of the horror and insanity aspects of her series with bizarre morphing, but that should never go beyond a page in my opinion.
