I somehow missed the Animorphs trend when I was a kid, so I decided to finally check it out. The writing style is definitely intended for a "middle grade" or young teen audience, but the story itself is still pretty interesting. And there's an obvious in-universe reason why a bunch of kids need to be in charge of saving the world, which is nice. The themes and ending are darker than I would have expected for a kids' book. The characters are a little under-defined, but it's a quick read -- I finished it in an evening -- and I'll probably read a few more of them (but not all 54!) ( ) I was a little too old for these when they first came out, so although they drew my eye because of the animal element, I never got around to them. Finally, a few decades later, I decided to give them a try...and I'm so glad I did. More than standing up to time, this first book in the series is a fun, action-packed, animal-centric adventure that I thoroughly enjoyed. I'm sure I would have loved these as an elementary-schooler, but as an adult who's picky about children's reads, I'm still diving in and loving them. When my nieces get old enough, I can't wait to gift these reads to them, but meanwhile, I'm going to keep going with the series and enjoy every moment. Absolutely recommended. Five teenagers walking home from the mall see an alien spaceship. Yet instead of a message of universal peace or at least the promise of first contact, the dying alien only has one message: The Yeerks are here. What are the Yeerks? They are alien brain-controlling slugs, they are invaders, and they are winning. Now our only hope is five teenagers with the power to turn into animals. I read this for pure nostalgia. When I was in grade school “Animorphs” was my favorite set of books. Decades later “Animorphs” is undergoing a bit of a renaissance, with graphic novels and maybe a movie coming out soon. I thought I’d jump on the nostalgia train and re-read the series. The ebook I read is apparently an updated version that was released several years ago. This version corrects a few mistakes in the original text, patches up some continuity issues, and takes out some of the ’90s references. While part of me wanted to be a purist, I have to admit I appreciated the fixes. Even as a child, I was annoyed by the mistake that goes against how it works later in the series. Honestly, I was surprised how well it holds up. It’s a quick read, I finished in less than an hour, so it feels almost like an episode of a show. The characters are fun and actually have some depth. Even from the very beginning of the series, there is a sense of seriousness about it. The stakes are high, and these kids are unprepared. They’re not going to magically solve everything, but instead are going to have to fight a guerilla war. I totally suggest any '90s kid give it a look. I am definitely going to do a series re-read. It’s a fun quick read, but there is substance to it. I’m looking forward to the rest of this series. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
