Book Reviews of The Encounter (Animorphs#3)
Book Review: A book that made me stay wide awake after bedtime.
Summary: 5 Stars
How would I describe this book? 1. Exciting? 2. Humorous? 3. Intriguing? 4. All of above? Of course, it is number 4. This books comes to many series from 1 to 54, totally original, has a high rate of addiction. Once read it you will experience the world of fantasy and aliens, lasers, and imagination.
In the first book there were four kids enjoying their lives when an alien fighter appeared before them. From then their lives changed from normal kids, to destine to save the earth warriors destined to save the earth. This book, the third one describes the view of a human mind hawk Tobias. He discovers a cloaked ship going somewhere in the mountains and tracks it. They noticed from then, the Yeerks have one major weakness: they need earth to support their mother ship with water, and oxygen. Their plan was to turn off the "cloaking device" so the whole world will know Yeerks are invading the earth and get it done with. While the Animorphs were planning for their "day" Tobias runs in trouble with himself.
Back in the first book, they, the Animorphs, gets trapped in a Yeerk pool and they barely escapes. However, Tobias stayed in his hawk morph for too long and becomes what Andlites calls a "nothlit". You see, the power to morph is a truly wonderful gift from the Andlite. Also, it is a deadly curse. You become what animal you touch, but stay in a morph too long and get trapped in it. Forever. Okay, let's stick to business. Tobias is a nothlit, and he is having trouble. His mind is Tobias, but his hawk body is a hawk. His body's instinct tells him to kill and eat mouse, and he keeps saying no. At list, to the second book. In this book, he finally surrenders to his animal instincts. He hunts mouse, gets attracted to a female hawk, and accepts its behavior, all before the "the day". The rest, I think, you should read it yourself. Like, I shouldn't tell the entire summary and make less fun of this book! Over all, I think it is a good book and everyone reading my review SHOULD read it.
Book Review: Great and sad
Summary: 5 Stars
This one is one of the best! Tobias, and the other Animorphs have to save the world-again. Tobias was trapped in a morph, so everyone thinks he won't play a major role in the book. But it turns out that he does. This book is very sad, too. Since he was trapped in a morph, he's been very alone. If it were some other series, I wouldn't care about what happened to the characters in the books. But with the Animorphs, I feel like I'm their friend who is trapped behind glass. I can't influence them in any way, but I can watch them win battles and lose them. I cried when I read this part (from the book):* I felt an awful, gaping hole open up around me. I was sick. Sick with the feeling of being trapped. Trapped. Forever! I looked at my talons. They would never be feet again. I looked at my wing. It would never be an arm. It would never end in a hand. I would never touch anything . . . anyone . . . again. I dropped from a branch and opened my wings. . . . I caught a blessed breeze and soared up and away, my own silent, voiceless scream echoing in my head.* That made me cry, I sware! It was sad! READ THIS BOOK Sorry for making this so long.Book Review: He has the sky
Summary: 5 Stars
Tobias is not totally human. He is a hawk with the mind of a boy. He did have any friends when he had his original body and has only four now. But these friends aren't normal either. They can change into any animal they touch, a power Tobias used to have. Until he stayed in his hawk morph more than two hours. Now he can barely remember his human life. This is book three in the Animorphs series and a good one. Even though Tobias can't morph he has a bird's-eye view from above. This helps greatly with the fight against the Yeerks. The yeerks are alien slugs who control people's mind by entering people's brain. They have begun to invade Earth. Only one group can stop them. The Animorphs. The kids I mentioned. They have multiple animal morphs and hurt the slugs badly. Tobias is a great help, for example he discovers a yeerk truck ship which gives water to the evil worms. The animorphs are goind to take this thing down. Their plan is to morph into wolves, go into the forest, aquire some trout and enter the ship. But during the planning Tobias goes wild. He is tired of fighting the call of the wild and leaves no longer a boy at all, but a red-tailed hawk. Will Tobias return?Book Review: tobias
