What was your first impression of The Animorphs. Lets just pretend for a moment ints May 17, 1996 and that The Invasion just came out. What did you all think. Just disregard the rest of the series and give predictions and thoughts on the series from only book 1.

uh...IF i read it when it first cam out, I'd probably think cool. I want to read more. after all, that's what happened when I first read it. yeah, it wasn't the first book i read, but the other books didn't make sense at all until I read #1. I wouldn't spend money on the books everytime it came out though (because I don't have any money). I'd wait until they were in libraries.

Hmm what did I think about animorphs when I was 8... man so long ago...

I remember thinking about how cool it was and how I wished I was an animorph :P

The first book was great, and I had number two so I read that straight away too

Let's take a look into Touquie's mind after she first read the first book.

Man, that was so cool!  I wish I could do that :(  Maybe if I think really hard...hmm...nothin g.  Maybe I need to try even harder...nope, still just me.   I guess my powers haven't come yet.  Oh well, I guess I'll just keep reading Animorphs.

I remember that I thought it was really cool.  I urged all my friends to read it as well.

The first book I read was #8: The Alien. There were some things that didn't make much sense, and later I figured out it was a little ways into the series. Really, I was just picking out some books at a bookstore I had never been to before.

It was funny, exciting, and I knew I wanted more. That's about all I remember. I think by the time I found Animorphs, around fifteen books had come out.

My sister had the first few Animorphs books - 1-12 - and I got more into it than she ever did. My mom started buying them for me after that.

I think I was in the first grade when I first started reading them, so I probably started reading them in '97.

First time I saw it actually was in a Scholastic magazine from school. I read the description and thought it sounded interested (I was in like..5th grade). And I asked my mom to order it for me.

First book had me wanting to read more. Thus, once a month I shelled out $5 for the next installment.

By the time the first book came out, I'd already been anticipating its release and couldn't wait to read it.  I got a little teen magazine with an insert thing that had a sample chapter for a promotional item, and the cover image, and I thought "WHOA, AWESOME!  I can't wait to read this!"

So, within a month after the official release, I found my way into the bookstore, and...got even more hooked...

I got hooked on Animorphs years after that. Think 1999. A random read, and I can't even recall which one was my first book. I think it was The Conspiracy! Something about the green cover with Jake morphing the peregrine falcon got me, I thought the book would be one thing and got something else t-o-t-a-l-l-y better. Before I knew it I was immersed in the whole Animorphs side of the whole alien war. I also remember being a little paranoid of Yeerks potentially being anyone around me... and so on...

I didn't start getting into it until around Book 4 or 5 I think, as my friend Ryan had been reading it from the beginning and was telling me about it, so I caved and decided to start reading, but I couldn't find the first bunch ANYWHERE, so when the next book order came in, I just ordered the newest one (Can't remember if it was book 4 or 5), and then just ended up getting the first bunch later on when there was a boxset released in the Book Order of the first bunch. It required me to get a double of one or two of them, but it also got me the first 3 or 4, which I had not read up to that point.

I obviously loved them, lol.
