Series re-read #44 The Unexpected

[buffyangellvr23.livejournal.com]

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.

Maybe the monster thing actually IS Cassie, who's been horribly warped by her years on the island...

And admittedly...inaccuracies regarding Australia is kinda something we're used to by now. I mean, the world thinks we're all like Steve Irwin. (And it isn't helped by the fact that we also consider making tourists believe ridiculous things about Australia a national past-time...)

Still, doesn't excuse the fact that just looking at a map would show a major flaw in this plot.
