Book Reviews of The Sacrifice (Animorphs #52)
Book Review: The only hope is a horrible sacrifice.....
Summary: 5 Stars
Ax and the other Animorphs have faced too many risks lately. Ever since they have had to retreat from their ordinary human lives, the war has completely changed. Jake's hope as well as the other Animorphs' have been torn apart, and nothing is at seems anymore. Now the Yeerks are intensifying their once subtle tactics, and they're forcibly making humans submit and be sent down into the subways to the Yeerk Pool. Ax and the others need to match tactics with the Yeerks. Their hopes are low, but if the Yeerks are getting drastic, so must the Animorphs -- if they want to survive, they must. But now they are facing a horrifying decision. They are facing a decision that will forever change the war. They are planning to destroy the Yeerk Pool, resulting in the deaths of thousands of human lives. The choice is a deadly one. Can Ax and the others justify such terrrible actions -- and face the horrible consequence? Now that the fight has changed, and every hope has been shattered from the terrifying revelations to the broken bonds, it may be time to face a new approach -- though it is frighteningly uncertain. Animorphs #52: The Sacrifice is one of the most exciting and dramatically involving books in the Animorphs series that is nearly over with just two more books left. Emotional, intense, and exciting, this was one of the most heart pounding books in the series. With only those two final books left, #52: The Sacrifice is an extremely worthwhileand delivering read. K.A. Applegate soared into new heights with this amazing addition to the Animorphs series.
Book Review: The Sacrifice
Summary: 5 Stars
It's ending. The terrible war for Earth between the Yeerks and the Animorphs is drawing to a close. But at what price? The Animorphs, living in hiding in the free Hork-Bajir valley, are beginning to question everything they've ever thought was right. Already they've given the power to morph, at the shock and disgust of the parents, to a band of disabled children, something they'd never have done before. BEFORE the Yeerks knew exactly who they are and where they lived. BEFORE they came after their parents, and the kids had to bring them into the battle. BEFORE they could walk down the street, knowing only one Yeerk could morph. In a war there are sacrifices, and Cassie made the biggest one letting the morphing cube fall into the hands of the enemy. But now it seems that more sacrifices are going to be made . . .In the previous book, the Animorphs made a bold move, and told the Head of State about the attack. Now it's open warfare, with no one knowing if the general leading your army is on your side . . . or theirs. And the Yeerks are no longer hiding. They have launched a full-out attack, and are bringing thousands of humans to a mass infestation. The final sacfifice is going to be made, as the Animorphs make a horrible plan- to blow up the Yeerk pool, killing hundreds of people and aliens, innocent and not. There's no turning back now . . .
I thought this book was fantastic, and I can't WAIT for the next! No Animorph fan can possibly miss out on The Sacrifice. The countdown's begun, and it's gonna get ugly.
Book Review: Ax has a secret
Summary: 5 Stars
The Yeerks are loading people into trains that will lead them straight to an underground Yeerk pool for infestation. The Animorphs decide that there is only one way to stand a chance against the Yeerks: they have to blow up the Yeerk pool. But if they blow up the Yeerk pool then they will also destroy the innocent people held hostage. This isn't their only problem, the Animorphs still aren't working as a team and after Cassie tells the truth about what happened to the blue box, Ax isn't sure if the human race is really worth saving. So now the Animorphs have to decide if they should sacrifice the people trapped in the Yeerk pool in order to save the world and Ax has to decide if he should sacrifice Earth in order to save the galaxy. This book was really good. Everyone reacted to the decision exactly how I thought they would, which is good because it means that I understand the characters I have been reading about for almost five years now. Kim Morris has once again done a great job.Book Review: In every war there are sacrifices.......
Summary: 5 Stars
The end is near. The battle for Earth can't go on much longer. One side is going to win. One side is going to lose. And the Animorphs fear they may be the losing side. The Yeerks have declared open warfare. They are herding thousands of people into subway trains at gunpoint. The trains travel through new tunnels direct to the Yeerk pool, where mass infestations are being performed. The Yeerks are building an army of controllers. The Animorphs know that soon the Yeerks will be far too powerful for them to have even a hope of defeating. So they are about to do the unthinkable. They are about to question everything they have always thought was right, and challenge the morals they have always fought for. They are going to attempt to blow up the Yeerk pool. And in the process, thousands of innocent people may die. This was one of the most powerful Animorphs books ever. If you're a fan of the series, you definitely will not want to miss this book.Book Review: The Sacrifice....one of the best
Summary: 5 Stars
Ax's books have just kept on improving. This book was so much better then the previous one in the series, 'The Absolute.' at last there was a book with few battles and more time for people's characters to come out. This book followed on well from the last Ax book, with Ax still wondering where he stands with the Animorphs and what path he should choose to follow. At first it seems like he is going to go with the Andalites, but his views change throughout the book. There were some intresting views on Cassie and Rachel in this book. Tobias also seemed to be back in character. He has been a little off in previous books. This book is extremely powerful and moving. You could see how hard the choice was to make, but I thought their decision was the right one, in the end. None of the Animorphs were unlikeable in this book by the end. One of the best in the series, surprising for one of the last books. I hope the last one is this good.
