The Escape
by K.A. Applegate
October 8, 2021 Audiobook Review
Original and re-read reviews on paperback here.
Sounds like Ramón de Ocampo has gotten into the groove of Marco, solidly – he has a much better lilt to his voice. I can hear much more of Marco’s sense of humor in his delivery, not just when telling jokes, but in his regular narration, too. Plus the struggle Marco has with knowing his mom is controlled by Visser One, and the dilemma he faces about whether or not to tell the other Animorphs, or what even to do about Visser One, if anything. Props to him for the delivery on this complexity!
Just one quote to add to the lists on my paperback reads; the other two (about ruthlessness and doing what’s right) I’d already noted. The delivery on this stood out, and the hesitation it brings to how Marco sees Erek. He knows now what Erek is capable of, and that knowledge can easily change how you see someone and act around them. Sure Erek is still a great source of information about the Yeerks, too, but now it’s colored with what he knows about Erek, what they all saw Erek do.
We’d seen what happened the one time Erek did go postal. It was hard to forget. Hard to treat someone that powerful like just another kid. – Chapter 3, 2:12
