The series really did get dark as it went along didn't it? A far cry from the Babysitter's Club that's for sure. Good stuff here. Jake has to make crazy, ruthless, and sad choices as the battle to save Earth from Yeerk control comes to an end. I feel sorry for the kid. As a adult rereading it I liked that it's a quick read but at the core of it is quite the morality lesson for YA readers.

This is it. The final battle. The last stand. And it is as ugly as it can get. How many are already lost? There will be more surely. I'm terrified of the conclusion of this war.

This was amazing. Finally, readers have Applegate's undivided attention and everything important that's gone down in the last few DOZEN books falls into place.

The abilities and firepower of the Animorphs and their few allies is nothing compared with the full force of the Yeerk Empire. A surprising development, well, surprising to all except Cassie, offers an interesting opportunity, but only Jake has the vision to bring the war to its conclusion.

Jake's plan is chilling and I do not know what I would have made of it if I had read this as a child. It works, of course it does, but...wow.

This is the penultimate book to the series, and I'm finding I don't want it to end.

Animorphs

Next: 'The Beginning'

Previous: 'The Sacrifice'
