Customer Reviews

This is beyond Survival

I won't only write about Survivor, I write about the series. In truth, i have never read a better series. With these books, you begin to understand the lives of Mo'steel, 2Face, Jobs, and even Yago. I just wanted to say that if KA or some deranged Animorphs fan is reading this,WAAB! What An Awesome Book!

Tate's Headache

Here we get to see what Tate and Yago were doing while the rest of the remnants were stranded on earth.Things get very hairy when the Troika turn into slime creatures with a taste for living cells.Yago tries to feed Tate to the Troika since all of the aliens on the ship are dead.Tate promptly morphs The Mouth,a mutation gained during the 5 centuries the remnants were in stasis.I LOVED this book and I recommend it to Remnants fans everywhere!Over and out!

The Best of the Entire Series!

This Remnants book is the best yet! It beat the entire Animorphs series. In this book, most of the answers unfold right in front of you and you slowly start to understand what these people are going through. Later on in it you start to actually feel how they did. I'm not going to spoil the end but all I'm going to say is it's shocking and odly sad. It really was the best ending for a book i've ever read!

A sad and touching book, the best Remnants yet...

After the last 3 books in this series turned out to be a little dissapointing, especially after how good number 9 was, I was positive this book would be much better. Ang guess what? I was right.In this one Tate is stuck on Mother with the Troika and Yago, who were trying to eat her.(Just the Troika, not Yago.) I won't say any more,because I'd really spoil the book for those who haven't read it, but I will say this: this book was much more about charecter development and as a build up to the conclusion than any others. Charecters actually changed in a good way by the end of the book, and because there are only a handful of charecters it was much more indepth all around. In fact, by the end of the book I actually liked Yago!!! That's a miracle in of itself. Even Amelia wasn't so bad by the end. And the ending is a little confusing, but very sad and touching. And don't worry, the otherson earth haven't left the story entirely, thaks to some mysterious, possibly prophetic dreams Tate has through the whole book. This book is a return to the kind of style that made books like The last books of Everworld and Animorphs so good. I only gave this 4 stars because of the confusing ending, and what appears to be some hasty writing. All I can say is, even if you're not a Remnants fan, you'll like this book.

Best Yet

Wow. What an interesting turn of events. KA basicly takes what you think is going to happen to Yago, the Trokia, and Tate then turns it on its head and tosses it out the window. If you ever imagined that you would never like Yago, or Amelia of all people, just wait for the end. Tate actually becomes an interesting character in this book, whereas before I'd never really cared about her. And of course we get the setup for the final book--from the sound of it KA may blotch it with a tried and true Sci Fi cliche, however I believe there is another possiblity so I have my fingers crossed.
