How did you get hooked on Animorphs?

[Kitulean]

I was looking for books to read on a long car ride and saw the big stand with the first 8 books advertising buy 2 get 1 free. I got the first three and then 4,5,6 two days later, and 7,8 the day after that. Then I waited for 9 to come out.

back in 4th grade this kid who skipped a grade, Smidge (yes, I called him that to his face, eveybody did and he responds to it), had #8 out. I took one look at it and thought, "this has to be the weirdest book I'v ever seen." you can't blame me, when you don't know the background, it looks like a kid turning in to an alien.  Then I read the back and thought, "what the heck is wrong with this kid?" a few days later, Smidge was going on about this series called Animorphs. I picked up #1 and began to read. I was hooked halfway through. I still remember my frist true thought about it. "What kind of name is Visser Three?"

Hello, I'm new here.

I first became addicted to the Animorphs by first reading, "The Andalite's Gift". I was looking for a new book to start and the cover caught my attention, so I got that one. I had no idea that it was out of sequence, but the storyline was so good and the characters detailed enough for me to follow it. Afterwards, I then went in order, but stopped reading them since the storyline was becoming redundant, but I plan on starting over again. My favorite book out of all of them is "The Andalite Chronicles". They're my favorite species by the way.

I'd been seeing them in the scholastic flyers for a while, but was only allowed to get one book per flyer, and I usually got the latest Goosebumps book, and so never could get Animorphs. But one day I noticed Animorphs book #2 at my school's library. I just read the back blurb, and, well, let's just say that I never got the Goosebumps books from the scholastic flyers again after that.

I got the first and second through Scholastic book order when they first came out.

I was probably 5 or 6 years old, i was at a camp and swimming in a pool while a friend of mine was reading off to the side. i went to him and asked what he was reading because the cover with a guy turning into a jaguar looked cool. he told me then lent me the book when he was done. I really liked it (though for the first half of the book, i didnt realize they were turning into animals (i thought tobias was a pilot ))

These are all sweet stories. This is what this site is all about. Isn't it great to talk with other people who know what Animorphs is and share the love of it?

[Sirouth56]

Yeah, it is.

For me it was just a normal day at the libary,I was bored with nothing to do so I was looking through the bookshelves.And I came to the section with Animorphs and I got abit curious.I looked through them and saw #8 The Alien with Ax on the cover(And this was back when I was first getting into centaurs alot) and I thought"Hey this might be cool to have centaurs in them." Of course later on I knew there wasn't,but by that time I was so amazed at how well the books was,I couldn't stop myself and found out how me and Tobias have so much in common in life.

Then after awhile I stopped reading,I was..just lost with the world,boring again,forgot they where there,till I found an old book in a box at home,read it,re-liked them and have been collected since and rping Tobias as often as I can as well as useing his name for my username here,out of respect for the character and the series as well.

Scholastic book fairs were rockin. I just wish the books weren't so damn expensive! You would read them in an hour!

I totally agree....but i was told it was better than Goosebumps. Then I was like "Oh really?"...I met Rachel, and the rest is history

Borrowed the 2nd book from a friend on the bus while in 2nd grade :]
I was hooked from then on out

I happened to catch the tv series on , which I ended up hating, when I was 9 or 10.  I thought it looked interesting and fortunately the scholastic book fair (i think that's what it was) was at my school.  I ended up reading 20, 18, and MM2.  I got hooked on them instantly.  After one of the times I moved I lost all the books, they were somewhere in the upper 30s, and stopped reading them. 

About a week ago I realized my phone has a pdf reader so I started looking for free ebooks to read, realized I don't like a lot of books so I started to look up books I've already read.  On a weird urge I looked up animorphs and was shocked to find this place.  I decided to read a couple mostly for nostalgic reasons, and I was amazed at the sense of humor and content of the books.  I'm rereading the whole series now.
