No. I found his character annoying.

I agree. His character was incredibly annoying. Even before his life went to hell, I still didn't like him. I guess it all depends on perspective too. Marco didn't seem to like him, so maybe that's why he was portrayed a bit more negatively? Jake's perspective didn't really favour him either, but David was pretty much at that turning point by then.

David's point of view would've been interesting to read, maybe we would've understood him a bit better, but I still don't think we would've liked him. We pretty much knew everything about him to know for his motives anyway.

I would have loved to have seen davids perspective on everything, but finding a way to work it into the trilogy would have been tough, because i loved all of the books and all three of their perspectives on him. Maybe replacing jakes or adding one more after jakes.

Even to all of you who hated david, think about the andalite chronicles, ellimist chronicles or visser, taking characters that we thought we knew and completely turning them on their heads. I can only imagine the kind of take KA would have on the character had they been able to explore it fully.

Hi! My name is David and I like to kill and torture animals in my spare time. Especially if they're an Animorph in disguise. *Wink* My dad's a spy (Sshh! No one's supposed to know. Big secret.) I have a cat named Megadeath and a python named Spawn. He lives freely under my bed. Cool, huh? They're illegal, and I'm the only one who has one in the states. I guess you could call me a psycho sociopath, but I'm really just the new kid that nobody really gets. I've moved across the country more times than I'd like to count. I have three people on my hit list. Marco ( I hate him), Jake (I despise him), and Rachel the witch (I REALLY hate her/him. She thinks she's a dude! I mean, seriously). She threatened my parents. Who does she think she is?

But don't worry. I'll deal with them all soon enough. I've got a real big surprise in store for them. And no, it won't be pretty. *Villainous laughter* Hahahahahahaahahaha!

meh. I guess so. I can already kind of predict what he's thinking through his actions and dialog.

I don't know, it might be cool. In the Return, his narration might make it even more of a tear-jerker.

I think an entire book would've been hard to work into the series, especially with the pattern, but I wouldn't have minded a few chapters - like in #19, #32, #34, #42, and #47 when other characters narrated.

It still would've been hard to work in. I think David was well-written, even in his last book.

It would've been cool to remake the discovery,threat, solution, and return. Through David's POV

Although it would have been interesting to see his character from a 1st person view, I don't think a book narrated by him would've worked. That's just my opinion. Also, I'm glad he never became a full member of the team, as I always hated the guy. Yes I felt sorry for the crap he went through, but that doesn't even come close to excusing what he did. He deserved everything he got. Even before he turned traitor the guy was annoying.

You haven't read One Least Likely?

Technically, it's canon-compatible. =D
