Visser by K.A. Applegate

1.0

The part that got me off the hook was why the Animorphs would agree to let Visser One continue to keep Eva as the host. And the fact that Eva AGREED to be controlled was baffling. Many would argue that it was for the long cause. Keeping Visser One alive when they were so close to killing her would create an easier invasion on earth without someone holding back V3. Or that Eva being a host gave Marco more reason to fight a long battle. Despite all that, wasn't it so that Marco believed his mother would rather 'Live Free or Die'? And why the hell would she agree to continue letting V1 control her. It was such a major plothole.

It was major disappointment towards the end when to see Eva regretted when V1 was to be kept alive and moved to other planet for other purpose that she had to scream < KILL ME!>. So the whole 'sacrifice' for bigger cause was a plain, futile effort? How would Marco feel when his plan to allow a Yeerk to continue to control her mother was all for nothing when he was so damn close to killing it?
.
Somehow I felt that the reason V1 was alive and Eva was not back to Marco was simple. To keep this long series book going. With Eva back to the son meant there was no strong reason for backstory of Marco's fight. Hence why the continuous long series of 62 books? Wanted to love this book but I hated how simple-minded the characters were made in such an ambitious and matured standalone book that would have stood out over any other Animorphs stories i've read.
