Animorphs was a good series that kept me reading. Enjoyed these as a kid.
a waste of a character is what David was, should never had the power
Disclaimer: I'm reading this series for the first time as an adult. (Unfortunately) I have no fond memories coloring my reading.
Back to "blah" books, but at least maybe there's a glimpse of interesting things ahead.
All Animorphs books had plot holes, but this one had more than usual. Add into that even bigger logic leaps (the President of the US getting involved in things), and most of the book was action scenes, and this chapter book just wasn't to my taste.
On the surface, it seems like a lot of things happened in this book. After all, they get a new Animorph! For the first time in the series, the team picks up a new member. But most of the book was highly unrealistic fight scenes and action stuff. And worse yet, the chapter book ended in the middle of an action scene with a "To be continued. . ." message. Ugh.
Plot-wise, one of the Animorphs meets a new kid at school, and that new kid just happens to have possession of the alien tech item that gave the kids their morphing abilities. So most of the book is spent trying to steal it from him, climaxing with a fight between a human spy, two snakes, a tiger, a bear, a bunch of aliens, and the leader of the brain slug aliens... all in a kid's bedroom. (I feel silly even typing that out.)
I'm not the target audience of these books, so I really can't complain when they focus more on action and fighting than plotty stuff. I'll just say this book really didn't work for me.

This new member, David, scares me and I don’t like him.
I need him OUT!!
