A Pretty Good Book

I think this is a pretty good book but it didn't have much of a plot.I like how determined Cassie was to save the buffalo. I think there certain things that couls have enhanced the book but after all I'm not not the writer. If you are as interested in this series as me then I will give you some reccomendations: #4 The message Has anyone else noticed that the illustrations on some of the books don't match the other ones?

Animorphs #39: The Hidden

The Yeerks have located and repaired a damaged Helmacron morph-tracking sensor. Now they're prepared to make a full-blown hunt for the Animorphs, but most importantly-- the morphing cube. Cassie and the others can't let the cube get into alien hands at all consequences. All the while a wild animal is loose from her parents' reserve, and wraking havoc upon everything it is angered by. Cassie must dodge that animal, and protect her secret. The hunt is full-on and Cassie may never survive , let alone catch one breath. The Hidden had nonstop action, nonstop rushing, and yet this made the book very enjoyable. It's a gripper, but not one of the best in the series. One thing you'll realize immediately about The Hidden is that Cassie never, ever stops. Yet it made the book quite good, and the drama portrayed here is unforgettable. There were several sad parts in this book, but it contributed to its quality, though I wouldn't say this book had much quality in it. I thought this was a pretty good book, though not one of the best.

The Hidden

I thought this book moved a bit too fast but was really good because as well as all the action it really made you think. This book is mostly about the Animorphs on the run from the Yeerks who have activated the Helmacron's morph-finding device. When I first started this book I thought I wouldn't like it as it sounded a bit like #24, another Cassie book which I hated. But the other main plot in this book was about a buffalo accidently getting the power to morph and morphing into Chapman several times. It was very intresting and touching in some parts seeing a buffaflo trying to deal with a human form. I didn't like the bufflflo dying though since I had hoped for a happier ending for it. The book seemed to end too quickly after that. One thing I found strange though was Cassie's attitude towards the ant which had accquired her. She was very sympathetic towards the buffalo but after seeing the ant her first reaction was just 'kill it' which she did and never had any afterthoughts. The ant didn't know what was going on any more then the buffalo did. That didn't seem in the character of Cassie. This is one of the best recent Animorphs books, definetly better then #40 and #41 and also an improvement on #38. I advise you to read it if you like Animorphs.

Great book, but I hate Cassie

Hey, it's me, *~AnimorphsGal~* Maybe you've seen some of myother reveiws (I got a lot of 'em out there now). Anyway, I felt thatthis was a very good book. I liked the problem: how the some animals accidentally touch the Efiscal Device (aka the Blue Box or Morphing Cube) and receive the morphing power. Even though I love the book itself ... I_HATE_CASSIE! I know I've said this many a time, but I just can't stand all of Cassie's dumb moral qualms. If I was an Animorph, Cassie would have died a loong time ago. I would have just kicked her out. It's like "Oh no, I can't kill this buffalo because it has human DNA in it's blood." One question, Cassie: WHO CARES? It's not like Chapman is part of the buffalo just because it has his DNA! *Grrr x 1000* And all the times she's said "Oh I won't do it because I can't kill anything or anyone." Now, I'm not saying that it's wrong to not like killing, becuase I'm a pretty big tree-hugger myself, but I think Cassie takes it too far. I mean ... SHE JUST CAN'T DEAL WITH THE REALITY OF WAR! I hope if KAA decides to make someone die, it's Cassie (as long as it's not Tobias -- I LOVE TOBIAS!). Okay, I've ranted long enough. Anyway: This is a good book, and even if you hate Cassie (like me) you should read it. The good plot is enough to block out Cassie's incredible stupidity.

Great Book!

The Hidden is a really good book! All real Animorphs fans will love it. K.A. Applegate really has a way of not letting people get tired of her series, Animorphs. I think Animorphs is a lot better than Everworld. Sorry, but Everworld is getting really kind of boring. It's not the greatest series in the world.
