I admit that I'm impressed at the observational skills of the person who wrote that list, but I'm also tempted to call that person an obsessive compulsive moron because he seems so addicted to finding errors that he finds them when they aren't even there! He takes some things a bit too literally and other things completely out of context. Other things just make him sound like he's nitpicking.
I won't go through all of them, but I'll list some of the one he listed that I disagree with.
~Jake says it has been two years since Marco's mom died on p74. The two-year anniversary is reached in #5.Not that much time passes between book 1 and book 5, so in book it has been near enough two years, so Jake just rounded up.
~Why doesn't Tom make Jake a Controller if he suspects him of knowing about the Yeerks?I believe in book 1 Chapman tells Tom not to infest or kill Jake, as if they did that to every kid who might have been at the construction site then The Sharing would attract unwanted attention. As for the infesting, the whole point in The Sharing is to recruit willing hosts (which make it far easier who the Yeerk to control) rather than snatching every kid who goes there and dunking their head in the Pool.
~While Jake and Marco have an adventure at the Gardens, the rest of the gang goes off acquiring animals. The only animal we know they acquired is Rachel's elephant. Why didn't they acquire more?Tobias already said that he wanted to stick with his hawk morph and Cassie had her horse morph (which she used in the Pool) so Rachel was the only one who needed to get a morph. Besides, they weren't separated for that long and probably spent some time looking for Marco and Jake.
~Shrews are referred to belonging under the class of rodent on p54, but they're actually insectivore.Only Cassie might have known that and it was hardly the time or place for a biology discussion.
~Why does Magilla have a name? She's a patient in the barn; she's going to be released. Does Cassie spend her time naming every animal in the barn?A 13 year old girl giving a cute animal a name? That's madness!
~Ax says Hork-Bajir can't swim on p124, but Jara says he can and does in #13. Perhaps Ax was sleeping in that class...Swimming in a stream and swimming in the ocean are a bit different. I believe Ax said that they weren't strong swimmers, not that they couldn't swim at all.
~Temrash says he'll be an Under-Visser. The correct term is Sub-Visser.The term Sub-Visser had not been used by that point in the series. Did it occur to you that KA just changed her mind?
~Ax forgets the 'Prince' title for Jake on p113.And I'm sure that anyone who is friends with the Queen of England ALWAYS calls her Queen Elizabeth in casual conversation.
~There are no grizzly bears located in California zoos.There aren't any brain stealing slugs in California either. It's called "fiction."
~Cassie uses her T-shirt as bandages on p77. But she wears a leotard to morph, so where did she get a T-shirt?Maybe the leotard was starting to smell so she decided to try a new morphing suit for a change?
~Jake wonders if he can morph the poison out on p94, but he did so in #6 as a roach.In book 6 he was poisoned by bug spray, something that would certainly not be harmful to a human in small amounts. In book 11 he was most likely bitten by a snake whose venom was deadly to humans as well as his Tiger morph.
#13 - The Change
•No goofs have been found yet.Not even the one you said earlier about the Hork-Bajir swimming? Or the fact that Ax's translator chip should allow him to understand the HB language, but he claims he is unfamiliar with certain words.
I could go on, but I think my point is made. He really does sound like he's desperate to find flaws.
