| Re: Animorphs - did anyone read these?
I read these when younger -- well, about the first twenty five or so, until about the age of fifteen or sixteen. I quite enjoyed the first ones but then they started getting really moralistic and the characters just got on my nerves after a while, especially Cassie. I know there were only five kids (and an Andalite!) taking on an unimaginable and incredibly important task, but sometimes they really just annoyed me. And then, spurred by another thread around this site about Animorphs, I searched the internet to fill in the gaps and find out what finally happened at the end. It was then that I found about the ghost writers, about which I was very surprised, I had no idea. And I also found out who died at the end (not my favourite character so it wasn't too bad). I don't think I could ever try to read the entire series, though. The earlier books are a very quick and moderately entertaining read, but the later ones just started to irritate me. |
