What a RIDE. This book had more endings than the lord of the rings movie and honestly I loved it. Wild ride from start to finish, with some edge in between. 10/10

So this is at last. I had real fun over the last two years reading and discovering how sentient creatures from other planets and galaxies start fighting for the control of the universe in a wondrous chess board whose threads are moved by macrocosmic entities of space and time. Now, I hate the parenthesis made between the final part of the main arc and the kind of beginning in the side story because it's basically struggling things among the remaining Animorphs and making a huge preamble just to discover another line of action that will be followed. Scenario weakens by the fact that everything is well-taken on Earth, with just some eco-terrorists not being appreciative enough to the multi-species and races population. However, the characters sink just right, because it is not about how is the point of the story to finish but the circumstances and characters that led the story to such conclusion that really matters.
This series come along with a lot of lessons and valuable moral teaching for youngster to understand and balance where they are reading, though it is not the author's main concern. At the same time it provides a look to politics and social problems arisen whenever there is the question of power and control over the other by some totalitaritan race who pretends to slave the complece human kind. The question is solved with the triumph of democracy and laws who seek for equality, just let's not overlook the fact of whose and which morals are implied in this very american view of justice and crime fighting.

- Strong character development? Yes
You were brave. You were strong. You were good. You mattered.
Did I cry through the first quarter of the last book? Obviously. Am I glad I spent the last 40 days re-reading this series? Yes. Would I advise anyone else to put themselves through that? No.

Much of what I remember of this series from my childhood still holds up. For a series thats aimed for kids, some later books dealt with a lot of mature and morally ambiguous themes.
Most of the entries that did not advance the main storyline were average at best, but those that did were pretty good, especially the last few books.
If Applegate ever decides to revisit the series, she should age up the characters and do the original story as a YA scifi trilogy. That would be pretty awesome.
4 out of 5 stars (for the whole series).

It's weird to think that I have reread the whole series of Animorphs. Strangely, I wouldn't mind reading it AGAIN... even if i already know by heart some of the jokes, some lines and the plots.
It was a wild ride, it wasn't perfect, a lot of plot holes, some OOC in later books, a very easy style but... but ... it was so entertaining, so fresh, so nice to read. More than a decade later, I still love the characters to death and they have imo more depth that some of the most elaborated reads. I rooted for them and I ached for them. They're for me some of the most important characters I have ever read about. If Applegate was to write a sequel or a stand-alone about them, I wouldn't even think twice and I would read it. (especially if it's about Marco)
I love these books, damn it.
