The Message was kind of weird?? I kinda understand why people said it was a tad strange for an Animorph book. Through dolphin-whale telepathy Cassie found where the Andalite ship crashed...I can't make this up if I tried. And the whole 'great one' and 'evil one' thing threw me in for a loop. But, I will give points on how conflicted Cassie was in making decisions. Gotta love that.
