Books Animorphs
I submit that the Scholastic book collection 'Animorphs' is the greatest preteen book series about pubescent children changing into animals ever written. The reason is two-fold; First for it's hauntingly accurate metaphors regarding puberty, and second for it's unabashed use of clever tag lines like 'some people never change... some do...'

Discuss.

Yesssssss.

Words cannot describe how much I love Animorphs. I still read them to this day. They're a nice quick read when I'm trying to relax a few hours before bed. I only lament that I'm still missing a chunk of the series. I was thrilled when I found a couple of the rarer volumes in a used book store a year or so ago.

The final book still makes me bawl like a baby.

EDIT: and if anyone else has ever checked out anything else by K.A. Applegate I will warn you- Remnants is freaaaaky as hell.

Fuck yeah, that series was awesome. I have most books before #50, but barely anything afterwards. I'm putting them into storage at the moment, actually, but when I get them back out again I might go on an online spending spree and get all the ones I'm missing for an animorphs binge.

Favorite character? Mine's probably Ax. Though Tobias was cool as well.

I used to read them back in grade school and I remember them being pretty good. I stopped reading around the time Tobias died. I think he died, didn't he? I remember reading a spin off book where an unknown animorph died and years later someone on the internet was yelling about how he was still pissed they killed Tobias.

Anyway, I read up to some point near before he was killed. I don't think I had a favorite character, probably would have been... Marcus? Mark? The funny one.

Hm, don't think so. Can't find any mention of it across a couple different sources.

Marco. Favorite was probably him or Ax.

Shame the ending's such a downer, but I never read that far. I remember having a book where they went back in time and turned into dinosaurs, though.

I think I read most of them, back when we had family library visits. DFM, it was Rachel that died, while the other 'Morphs watched her taking down a shipload of peeps as a bear.

Tobias was the coolest character ever, even if Jake had the best combat morph. Tobias had a hot girlfriend in Rachel, a deep relationship with Ax and he was cool as a matter of principal for being the nothlit.

..Dude...spoilers!

I remember reading them from the start, all the way though until about....somewhere in the 50s I beleve. Haven't seen any of them since.

And...they killed Rachel? *Cries* (She was my favorite)

Rachel was friggin crazy. I'd've dated her. She was the best one to take shopping.

Other than that, you didn't miss much. Applegate gave the series to ghostwriters and the series went to hell in a handbasket with a lot of plotholes and crazy mess that made no sense.

Ex. They brought David back to take care of him. I mean REALLY take care of him...

The entire thing didn't sit well with me. And the entire Andalite, resources too thin, thing? I swear, no matter what, Andalites are ass holes if they're not eating. That sure as hell didn't change.

Didn't the series end with number 54? It was a disappointing cliffhanger, too. But I read it RELIGIOUSLY until the very end there. Gem of a series, it was.

I remember that the TV series was pretty garbage, though.

How did they think a live action TV series about a bunch of kids going around murdering aliens with their teeth (after turning into a variety of dangerous and hard to film animals) was ever going to work anyway?
