Book Reviews of The Other (Animorphs, No. 40)
Book Review: Makes you think a little longer...
Summary: 5 Stars
From watching TV, Marco discovers that Ax is not as alone as they thought-there are other Andalites on Earth! Two other Andalites survived the space battle that sent the Dome into the ocean. In this touching and tragic book, readers further see how Andalite prejudices are in many ways like human society's. The book explores how these two Andalites forsake everything else in their intense loyalty and friendship with each other. One Andalite is a vecol, meaning his tail blade is cut off, which makes him a cripple (with the unfortunate combination of being unable to morph). The other Andalite has a genetic disease, like Huntington's disease, so he is unable to escape the disease by morphing to something else and back.
This book has few moments of humor. It deals with real issues in human society about prejudice, discrimination, and morality. I liked the sophistication of this book and the complex issues it delves into. Some say that Marco isn't the best narrator for this serious book, but I disagree. I think it takes a character with humor to make the situation less awkward. When a character who is normally humorous says something serious, you tend to pay a bit more attention than if it was Cassie, who is always for moral uprightness. This is definitely a touching, poignant book, whose last page will linger in you a little longer.
Summary of The Other (Animorphs, No. 40)
Everyone thought Visser Three and Ax were the only Andalites on Earth... until now. The Animorphs have discovered two other warriors who have escaped from Ax's Dome ship, and they may be able to help fight the Yeerks! But are they really Andalites, or is this just a cunning trap?Science Fiction, Fantasy, & Magic Books
