I liked preetty much all the covers except....

1(I just didnt like it and to be honest until I opened the book I had new idea what jake was morphing into, I think the tiger should've been the cover morph for tht book or homer)

2 and 47(they looked more like they were drawn instead of digitally altering two photos especially 47)

3(I just dont like how it turned out)

5(Marco looks weird with long hair)

54(I actually thought it was cool until I saw the second page and saw tht none of the animorphs looked rite, Jake looked real off cuz they're supposed to be 16 by then and he looks even younger than Ken and Morf)

MM1(I just didnt like this one esspecially since they gave Marco the wolf morph for tht cover and gave cassie a bug)

MM2(It didnt make any sense)

Elemist chronicles(I dont like how the ellimist looked I always pictured him looking like Professor Dumbledore)

Richard is really Anna in disguise!

As far as favorites I can't really pick. I kind of liked all the others but a few got on my nerves. Those are below with my reasonings.

Disliked:


Reasons:
#1: It didn't morph the same as the others and they only did the head. Put it with the rest and it looks out of place.

#2: A few others look rather digitally done, but this one is totally a sketch. It's not bad, but it is out of place.

#41: Jake doesn't actually morph into his older self and clothing doesn't morph. It goes against the rules for morphing in the book and all that really happens is he gets older.

#43 & 49: Tobias looks younger than previously. It bugged me. About the only positive is that they finally had a blond model for him.

#47 & 48: The Jake and Rachel on these look way younger than they do on any other book and these are practically the last ones they're on in the series.

#54: The overlapping heads bugged me because it's hard to tell who's who.

MM1: I didn't like the half animal face half human face personally. Most of all didn't like Cassie's being the fly.

Tobias should look younger compared to everyone else because he is morphing his human self as it was when he acquired it. I.E. when he was about 13.

I liked the sketch look of the covers of #2 and #47, maybe all of the covers should have been like that.  :P

I liked #54's cover art.

I can easily tell who each person is.

It goes like this:

- Ax
- Marco
- Cassie
- Tobias
- Rachel
- Jake
Most likely to have a superhero identity 2012
Best superhero duo 2012 (Team Phate)

Yea it wasnt hard at all to tell who was who the only problen was the new Jake model stood out even more than Rachel(who was glowing in the center) I honestly had know clue who he was, so I thought when the thing said "It began with six, and it'll end with five" I thought tht Jake woukd die and this new guy was his 8 year old replacement.

Yes Tobias should look younger than everyone else.... the fact that he looks physically younger than he previously did wouldn't make sense though.

As far as 54, Maybe I'm one of few people who had issues. The darkness of the image and the overlapping heads just makes it hard for me to be certain of anyone but Ax, Cassie, and Rachel. The other three boys.... like heck I can tell. Besides which I just don't like having everyone's head overlapping like that so that might be the issue too.

I could tell Ax because of his eye stalks, Cassie because of her lips, and Rachel because of her hair. The other three not so much. Maybe Marco, now that someone has stated he's after Ax.

So I'm not the only one who thought that when I first picked up 20? I'm not sure if it was the first book that pictured him darker and with short hair, but he was definitely lighter skinned and longer haired in 5.

He got the haircut in book 10 though, remember.

Anyways, this pic bothers me, so I scribbled on it in paint. Check it out.
Jake and Tobias look too similar. Sorry the writing doesn't show up properly.
I'm assuming thats Tobias on the left, Jake on the right.

. . . I've always assumed it was the other way around, Claire.

On topic, I honestly and sincerely feel pretty neutral about the book covers.
