Yeah Tobias was really only annoying to me in the end, when he became a hermit hawk... ::)  I can understand not wanting to talk to Jake, but what about the others?  Ax?  Silly, emo hawk boy...

I bet when he'd get older he'd realize his life wasnt over, which is exactly why  K.A should write an Animorphs:The Aftermath. It could be just  1 book, but it would show what would happen as they age more more and more.  Id dont know about any of you people, but I want to learn more about  after the invasion then the little imformation provided in 54#

I think he still spoke with the Hork-Bajir. It was Toby who found him, and I think it mentioned that his territory was in the same forest the Hork-Bajir were in.

Which I think is fine, because he always seemed to be more at home with the Hork-Bajir than with any human (even Rachel).

I never found Tobias annoying. He might've been depressed at times but it seems to me that he was trying to make the best of things. I enjoyed reading his books.

I never really found Tobias that annoying really.  Like AniDragon said, every was annoying at times.  The only one that really annoyed me was Cassie with her moralizing all the time.


^  My sentiments exactly.

tobias only annoyed me in 33 and 43, mildly in 23.
Coming to terms with it; understandable.
but then almost 2 books saying "your life sucks, human or bird *evil laugh*"
that got annoying quick.
Still a fav character though

Admittedly I'm still working on a re-reading of the series (and moving very slowly) and have only gotten to Book five. However, I did read Book Three, which seems to be one that is really big on the whiny Tony list. Personally, I didn't think it was all that bad. I really liked the book myself, though (and this will make me sound sadistic) it was because I thought it funny.

However, I'm willing to give him some credit. His life has been rough, and having to fight the instincts of a hawk twenty-four seven as well as Yeerks could take a toll on your sanity. However, I'm with you on the ending (one of the few books I remember when I first read the series) in that he went a bit far with it.

I'm sure my opinion will change as I work my way through the sereis.

Edit: Though I'll admit that Tobias does remind me of this song from Spamalot:
I'm All Alone

He didn't annoy me much except for #23.  It was like he was just moping about how he didn't have a family.  Maybe he was a tiny bit annoying in #43.

I think that Tobias, and most of the Animorphs characters, really, are more victims of Deus Angst Machina (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeusAngstMachina) than of emo-ness.

To be honest, I didn't find Tobias terribly annoying when I originally read the series. However, I don't remember much of book 3, so that's not a part of my comparison.
What really got on my nerves was the repeated introduction of the Yeerks. It just got old to me around book 20. I mean, it was helpful to me since I started with book 2 and jumped around a bit, but really. After a while, it was just old.

Well, it is understandable.

The first animorphs book I read was 21#. I thought it was brilliant, so I read all 36 animorph books on my shelf(my mom kept buying them)

I would have ditched 21 if it did not tell me about the yeerks and the character decriptions

But yes, it did get old

This is a little off topic, but I also feel that morphing descriptions get old too. It's not that it grosses me out or anything, but I don't really care to read about the morphing process. I tend to just skip those parts.

I skip the andalite introduction, when they get their powers, the morphing process (whether it's new or old), the yeerk introduction, and any other introduction I've read before. Yeah I skip a lot.
