Introduction & Discussion

[staysleeping.livejournal.com]

Hi guys I’m new! I don’t really use my lj that much but recently I got into my somewhat biennial habit of re-reading all my old Animorph books and found this community. Like a lot of fans of the books I was SUPER into them when they were first coming out and then sort of forgot about them and then later re-discovered them. I've been looking at some of the past entries here and I just keep getting more and more excited for finding a community to finally be able to discuss Animorphs with, since growing up none of my friends or family members (or pretty much anyone I knew) were into them. Also, just read the entry about Scholastic re-printing the series and it's so exciting that they'd be coming back! I've always hoped, and still hope, that someday the books could get re-printed as a single book. I know that it'd be huge (though I think they could make it work by having the book be slightly larger with smaller font size) but I've always liked the idea of having all the books together kind of like what they did with that one re-printed version of the Chronicles of Narnia series. Anyways, now that I'm re-reading the books I was interested in seeing other people's opinions on certain things :)

Series re-read #44 The Unexpected

The Yeerks are transporting pieces of a crashed blade ship somewhere. The Animorphs want to get the scraps and show them to the world. But a string of bad decisions leaves Cassie stuck on board a plane. It's going to someplace with the letters SYD, but she doesn't know until after she lands where that's at. The controllers catch onto her and in the fight, she ends up bailing out. Now she's alone, in the middle of the Australian outback. And Visser Three is there too.

I know this one is gonna get dumped on, because of the last time around LOL.

I don't like the whole isolating a single character for the whole book thing. It doesn't do much for me not having the whole group involved in the adventure.

And according to one of our Australian fans, there are some not-so-good Aussie depictions or stereotypes in the whole thing.

At least next week's is a book I enjoy a little more.
