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.

Whale Wars! (http://animal.discovery.com/tv/whale-wars/)

I bet you anything Cassie breaks up with that guy she hooks up with in 54 and finds Aftran, because Aftran will understand her. He can show up on the boat near the end of another season.

It's alright /pats

And fffffffff "are you willing to risk your life for whales!" You know, I think you are indeed correct. Clearly Whale!Cassie and Whale!Aftran need to be in this show. Or, perhaps Cassie has in fact been having an affair with Aftran the whole time. In fact, Aftran and Cassie have probably been having a tumultuous on-and-off-again secret relationship ever since Aftran sailed off into the seas...

All those solo Cassie books?

Lies. She totally roofied the others and told them later that they had some sort of alien disease/field trip to the Hork Bajir homeworld/whatthefuckever.She was off with Aftran the whole time.

"I missed you too, Jake!"

LIES. >:O

This is clearly the truth of the whole series. Really, all of her moralising was just a concentrated attempt to hide her own wicked, wicked ways!

You know, the best part is that I can totally see this happening, too.

We should all be glad that Edriss never infested Cassie.
