Book Reviews of Animorphs #38: The Arrival
Book Review: Come on, people!
Summary: 5 Stars
Hey, I just read some other reviews for other Animorphs books, and I think somepeople should get off Ms.Applegate's back. I live in a place where new Animorphs books are hard to come by, if you go to a bookstore, the newest you're likely to find is like, #28 or something. I do think the story is getting a little long, but the books are still good. I love to laugh at Marco's jokes, and at how everyone always gets annoyed with Ax for "our minutes". I am asking for more longer books to be written about the Animorphs though, like the Andalite Chronicles, or the Hork-Bajir Chronicles. These normal books are too short, I just devour them up. I contnually thank my friend Kirstin, for getting me hooked on Animorphs, I won't ever forget that! So really, go easy on Ms. Applegate. By the way, this book was really, neat, how we actually meet more Andalites. I really appreciate how Ms. Applegate always makes her stories twist in a neat, suspenseful, page-turning way!Book Review: Cool
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is very good. I have every single one in print. I reccomend all of the Animorphs series. Also, check out some John Peel Books.<the yeerks will bite the dust!
Book Review: Entertaining and Thoughtful
Summary: 5 Stars
In "The Arrival," an Andalite ship with four Andlaites arrives on Earth, apparently on an assassination mission. Instead of professional warriors, however, the Andalites are a bunch of misfits with secrets of their own: a blustering coward, a pragmatic criminal, a desperate professor, and a naïve prodigy. Jake further demonstrates his abilities as a strategist and leader throughout the book, combining firm resolve with talented deception. Ax, meanwhile, gets his first kiss and realizes where his true loyalties lie.
This Ax book continues the ideas of his other books: that Andalites are not perfect. Andalite society is just as riddled with intrigue, double-dealing, traitors, and government hypocrisy as human society. The book reinforces the ideas that it is impossible to label an entire species (or race) as uniformly this or that. I definitely liked this book, though found the trip to the Yeerk pool unnecessary and contrived as well as the break in at the Community Center too easy and simple.
Book Review: Good, but not as satisfying as the others
Summary: 3 Stars
This book is sort of bad, but good in a way. It shows that Arbat inherited his brother's despiration of releasing a programmed virus to destroy Yeerks. Also, Ax falls in love and there is a strain between the Animorphs and the Andalites. All in all, I give it a 3-starred review.Book Review: I'm sorry, but this ISN'T one of K. A.'s best works.
Summary: 3 Stars
It seems that K. A. is regressing back to her old romance novels. Not that the book is that mushy or that there is a lot of romance, it's just that there isn't much action. The plot had a re-used feel to it and the Animorph's "clever" ploys have all been used before (like in the 20-22 trilogy.) The basic idea for the book was good, but K. A. must have been overworked when writing this. I immediately bought this book because it's an Ax book, but...well...let's just say that this isn't going to one of the ones I'm going to back and read.
