I picked 39 out of those. I could stand to read 36 more than 39, because that one was just so weird. It breaks canon about the box, and I don't like the idea of a naked Chapman walking around learning how to say the word good.

34 was the one where they travel to the Hork-Bajir homeworld, and my least favorite book in the series :)
I go off topic on purpose.

Oh yeah. The book that not only didn't go anywhere, but apparently a current resistance force on the HB planet isn't even enough for Toby to want to leave Earth and retake her people's home and free the slaves within. Even though I think she had to be tricked into leaving at the end of the book in the first place.

I once mentioned an idea of the series continuing by the Anis going there, but someone said it wasn't their fight. and they made some excuse for Toby not going, even though there are living Horks that would probably want to be free and live on their planet, instead of being guests on an overcrowded planet where the more extreme locals kill you just for being a little different.

Another pointless plot that could have gone somewhere, but didn't.

Though I will say this. The Buffahuman book gave me a brainstorm about a dog that manages to grab the box and start morphing. Using a Human morph, he learns to communicate, though he can't talk in his normal form. He becomes the team pet who lives with Marco. Just a silly idea I came up with for just in my head.

Numbers and names, baby! #36 was the one with the killer whales and Atlanteans Nartecs.

I know a lot of the numbers, but not all of them. That's one convenient thing about the ebooks, because they gave a name and picture to jog my memory. But now they're gone, and I have to confess whenever I don't know.

I have a slightly weird opinion on #41. Because on the one hand I really loathed how badly parts of it were executed (i.e. The ENTIRE orphanage sequence. I mean what the hell Jake's brain? x3 Though it sounds eerily like something that'd come out of one of my dreams). But on the other hand I loved the concept of the book and wish K.A. had written it instead. With better mid-book filler. I'm far too obsessed with dystopias to completely hate it.

The Buffahuman sequence was probably worst. XD I mean that was just a "What kind of crack were they smoking" book. But I accidentally voted for Australia. CURSES! XP

I love me a good dystopia, but that was just....well, not a good dystopia. What really killed it for me was the whole climactic-like-a-freaking-Flash-Gordon-sequence ending scene. Oh yeah, and then how we never found out what that alien presence commenting on Jake's dream was. I'm going with the Skrit Na theory.

The entire book was an exercise in showing that Cassie was a self-centered whiner and Jake was her spineless whipping boy. CHARACTER DERAILMENT LIEKWHOA.

The more I hear people talk about it, like here and the reread, the more I dislike the book. maybe it is worse than Buffahuman.

Just to be different, I didn't like the second Jake book to be canon. I just couldn't accept him being the one to lose in a tiger vs. lion fight. >_<  :(
I'm just a writer, and my main goal was always to entertain. But I've never let Animorphs turn into just another painless video game version of war, and I wasn't going to do it at the end. I've spent 60 books telling a strange, fanciful war story, sometimes very seriously, sometimes more tongue-in-cheek. I've written a lot of action and a lot of humor and a lot of sheer nonsense. But I have also, again and again, challenged readers to think about what they were reading. To th

With as much experience as he had, as opposed to David, you'd think he'd win anyway regardless of the Lion's mane. Anyone can get lucky, though.
