Summary: A great descriptive book about aliens with cool names
Review: The Predator starts out as Animorphs books always do: with one of the characters who says he can't tell you his last name because of the danger he's in. The danger is from the Yeerks, alien slug parasites who live on peoples' brains and take over their bodies. The animorphs are a group of kids who got morphing power from an alien Andalite and use this power to fight the Yeerks. In The Predator, the character who tells the story is Marco. Ax, the brother of the Andalite prince who gave the animorphs their power, wants to return to his home planet. Marco, Jake, Cassie, Tobias, and Rachel devise a plan to help him: capturing a Yeerk ship by sending a distress beacon to the Yeerk mother ship. After they send the distress signal, they turn into their most powerful morphs so that they can fight the Yeerks more easily. When the Yeerk ship comes, out walk two Hork-Bajir warriors. The animorphs attack the two Hork-Bajir, but when they finish they find themselves surrounded by more warriors with dreakon beams. The animorphs are taken to the Yeerk blade ship, where Marco gets the surprise of his life when he meets the Yeerk leader, Visser 1. With its help, the animorphs find an escape pod and zoom off. A I really like the Animorphs series because their are very descriptive and the authors make up great names for things. Reviewed by Eli Schulman, age 10

Summary: 4.5 stars really..
Review: Animorphs #5, 'The Predator' just supports my belief that the earlier books in the series are the best. Marco, Cassie, Jake, Rachel and Tobias attempt to assist new recruit Ax to return to the Andalite home world by stealing a Yeerk Bug Fighter. But Marco still isn't sure that having the power to morph is such a good thing. He and his friends keep finding themselves in more and more danger, and Marco decides he's had enough. After the death of his mother affected his Dad so badly, Marco is scared by the thought of leaving him alone. With this in mind, he comes to the decision that this will be his last mission. No more danger, no more Animorphs. But then he discovers a secret that is going to change his mind. And this secret is going to give him real cause to continue the fight...
This book is just another example of why I think the earliest Animorph novels are the best. OK, there are some exceptions, but generally the standard is far better because the books stand on their own with a greater degree of success. Not quite of the five star standard, 'The Predator' comes very close. The introduction of Ax the Andalite brings humour to the book as he struggles with the concepts of taste and speech and the scenes in space are well described. If you enjoyed this book, I would recommend Animorphs #6, "The Capture", which is one of the best Animorph books there is.

Summary: Better..
Review: Marco looks out for himself and his dad. Ever since his mother died, he has been doing a lot of the housework and keeping his life normal in his cynical way. Then he and his four friends, Jake, Rachel, Cassie, and Tobias, were given the power to turn into any animal they want. They have to protect Earth from the Yeerks, a slug-like alien species which wants to take over the the human race. Marco is not too happy about this. All he ever wanted was a calm life. But his world is gong to change even more when he meets Visser One, leader of the Yeerks and who he's infesting.

Summary: What you see isn't always what you get...
Review: Marco never wanted to be an Animorph. He never wanted to risk his life saving the world with his animal-morphing powers. He knew that if he died, his father would go insane--since both his son and wife would be gone forever. Now, the two year anniversary of Marco's mother's death is coming, and Marco is nervous. And after a dangerous mission that almost got he, Jake, and Ax killed, Marco decides to quit.
But before he quits, Marco decides to go on one last mission to steal a Yeerk ship from Visser Three so Ax can use it to return to the Andalite planet. However, the kids' plan goes terribly wrong and they end up trapped. But while everyone else worries how to escape, Marco is shocked when learning a terrible secret. Now, he has a reason to fight the Yeerks. And no matter what it takes, he'll kick butt.
THE PREADTOR contains one of the most shocking secrets in the Animorphs series. And this is definitely one of the best Marco books. Although it was a great read, I had a problem with this book. The first half of the novel was about the Animorphs' adventure at the mall with Ax who keeps running away. Even though it was funny, I would've preferred more Marco dealing with the secret.
