Book Reviews of The Answer (Animorphs, No. 53)
Book Review: The end is near......
Summary: 5 Stars
The battle for Earth is now open war. The Yeerks are blowing up everything in site. The public knows the truth of the horrific alien invasion - but it may be too late from anyone to stop it. A new Yeerk pool is being built in the ruins of the devastated city. Jake comes up with a plan to capture the Yeerk pool ship, but it's a dangerous plan - one that will almost surely have a high cost in lives. What the Animorphs don't expect is an offer to form an alliance - an offer that comes from the Taxxons. The Taxxons are desperate to escape their never-ending hunger. They will help the Animorphs, in exchange for the morphing power. Meanwhile, the Yeerk whose host is Jake's brother Tom is planning to betray Visser One - and offers the Animorphs a deal of his own. But can the cannibalistic Taxxons and a Yeerk be trusted? Only one book remains in the Animorphs series, and this was one of the best yet. Written by K. A. Applegate herself, instead of a ghost writer, the story moves at a fast pace. The cliffhanger ending will leave you eager to read the final book in the series.Book Review: Great!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved the Answer. I can't believe the change in Jake's character. It was like he snapped. All the time I thought it would be Rachel who broke down but Jake just got evil. After reading it the second time though, I could sympathise with him. He needed to win, and he needed to do it then and there. I especially liked the return of Arbon, and how the Taxxons finally got a full explanation. It never made sense to me how they could be cannibals, who eat each other when they are still living (Ugghh) and then dd take Arbon in like they did. Read the book and find out the truth about the Taxxons!
I think that this is one of the best Animorphs. I was really impressed about how Applegate thought of how to finally beat the Yeerks. One bad thing though, is that Jake's character changed without a total explanation. Read it if you're an Animorph fan, but if you've never read one before, don't start with this one,
Book Review: One of the best books in the series
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Answer" really delves into Jake's personality, as he is now a darker and more angry character. In this book, K.A. messed up a few things that made #54 a complete car wreck. #1-if Jake's a good planner, he should have sent someone else with Rachel, such as Tobias. #2-add a few chapters at the end, plus a few chapters of epilogue, as well as a HAPPY ending, this would be the ultimate book. By only sending Rachel by herself, it's obvious she will die; 1 vs. 5 in morph is impossible. With Tobias in Andalite morph, it would be a wipeout for them. #54 is a waste of time; adding like 5 chapters at the end, with everyone living happily would have sufficed. Instead K.A. had to go and ruin the Animorph's lives. I think as the last books were written, she clearly was in a rush to get this out of the way. If only #53 could be re-written and #54 trashed, it'd be nice. Overall, this book is pretty good.Book Review: An Unthinkable Alliance
Summary: 5 Stars
The battle for Earth is now out in the open, the Yeerks have had enough. The Yeerks have planned to make a new pool, bigger than anything they've ever had before. The only way the Animorphs are going to win this war is to ally themselves with Taxxons. Taxxons who became voluntary hosts in order for their race to survive. The Taxxons are sick of the hunger they have to live with and with the help of the Andalite's morphing power they see a way to escape that hunger. The Yeerk in Jake's brother Tom's body wants Visser One dead and has a plan that may end the war in the Animorphs favor, if he can be trusted. This book is all K. A. Applegate and it shows. This is one of the best of the series, and is full of action. This is one book you won't be able to put down.Book Review: Emotions tumble as the end creeps nearer and nearer
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this book and at first wanted to wait for #54 too before I read it, since I'd been warned about the cliffhanger ending. Five hours later I had given up waiting and was finished with the whole book. And I LOVE THE BOOK! Jake's character is drawn out to the corners in detail, and anyone who's followed the series from earlier can see how he's changed. Some of the things he did, things he ordered done, made me very angry. (I threw the book against the wall a few times.) But that doesn't mean it's a bad book! It's one of the best in the series. And the series is good as well. This is a must-read book for any Animorph-fan. And a few non-fans too, I'd say. It will make you angry at some points, frustrated, but you'll love every word.
