Summary: Applegate's work is getting too predictable....
Review: Of course her fans are going to know that Applegate is slumping in her latest books, and it seems like she likes it. #37 wasn't the best, but I do commend it on what it's finally done. It's finally answered the question to who should be able to lead the team if the leader is out. Everyone thinks it should be Rachel, seeing how she is Jake's cousin and is super-spontaneous. But she has no leadership skills, and because of that the readers are forced to listen to the constant nagging between her and Marco, which in here is not as funny as before. But that is the only reason why I didn't give it the highest score. The Weakness introduces a fast new host species for the Yeerks, and the Animorphs go on a little terrorist trip with a lot of jokes mixed in. Although the ending is the worst part of the book, the rest of it is okay and Applegate's fans are able to take it in without rejecting it like several of its previous predecesors can do.

Summary: This is a Great Animorphs Book!
Review: This is one of the best books I have ever read. It has nonstop action, and great humor. This book is from Rachel's point of view, and she is made temporary leader while Jake is on vacation. This is a book that you should read if you like the series

Summary: The break
Review: This was a very bad book and I was surprised when I read it.K.A. Applegate is a very good writer,but I guess she took a break from good books and tried a new kind.

Summary: 'The Weakness' in the Animorphs series
Review: Unlike most people who have reviewed this book, I don't think Animorphs is getting worse. But this book was definetly bad. It was just the same old thing over and over again, action, action who cares? It did have a few good parts though. The ending was good and a big improvement on the rest of the book. It also showed you what happens when Rachel gets out of control, but didn't we already see that in #32? One thing I did like about this book was the cover.

Summary: Animorphs #37: The Weakness
Review: When I read The Weakness, I was in a good mood and happened to have liked the action and recklessness portrayed by Rachel in the book. Morphing cheetahs was very well described ; this was the falsgship of the book. But it still could have been worse. And while we see that Rachel is pure anger and recklessness, we see that from time to time one of the Animorph characters breaks through. It is not one of the best of the series, and it is not well written either. But at certain points of the book you feel the beauty of what it's like to be a cheetah, roaming through savannah and running beside the enemy to catch him. However this part is in the beginning, making the main plot go to waste in the second and third chapter. But while it's there it's still vivid in your mind. I was looking forward to this book and was a little disappointed in Animorphs #37 ; but it could have been worse, and it is still worth buying. The cover itself is a masterpiece. So if you want action, I recommend this book, but if you want suspense, read the next few books. Books like #38 The Arrival and #39 The Hidden really had you going to find out what happens ; a book like #37 The Weakness isn't like that, but the book itself is meaningful in one lesson : the value of trust. In order to be a team you need to be able to trust your teammates, and while Rachel made several mistakes taking Jake's place as leader, she learned what trust was and that being the leader isn't just guts and glory. It's about making decisions that mean the difference between life...and death.
