Book Reviews of Visser (Animorphs)
Book Review: A New Race To Conquer the Earth.
Summary: 3 Stars
Ms. Applegate has written over one hundred books such as this one for young adults in two or three series. You might think it is science fiction, but it is more like fantasy mixed in to make it more believeable.
If one can believe the animal characters C. S. Lewis devised in THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA (a movie out this Christmas), then this alien humanoid species might make it in a child's or young person's imagination. Visser is the mother of a human son before she is infested by Edriss 562, and her love as Eva could perhaps counteract the evil of the Yeerks. She explains that she wanted to suggest the possibility that the evil of aliens could only flourish when it met with human weakness.
The human woman named Eva, "the husk, the human shell I lived in," would cease to exist as far as any human knew. She, as Visser One, had written the book on infestation while completing the knowledge of humans. She was promoted to take a powerful position on the Council of Thirteen.
Visser turned into an ugly man with horns with the body of a horse and tail like a whip. He would spearhead the invasion of Earth and become the leader of the Yeerk military hierarchy. Sailing was one of the best things about being part human. She purloined the sail boat to meet a Bug fighter which would take her to the other land and capsize the boat. Eva's body would never be found.
Visser's arch rival, Visser Three, was successful in getting him charged with treason. Should she/he be found guilty, he would lose his human host. K. A. Applegate journeyed to the dark side with this endeavor to learn the minds and hearts of a race 'determined to survive and conquer at any cost.' She uses her own photograph to show how she would look as a male lion and we see the four stages of transformation. That's interesting.
