Summary: Andalites and Yeerks
Review: "Just give the humans over to the captain,they aren't your problem." I was wrong, the humans were my problem. Infact,I was about to have alot of problems.' These are the words and thoughts of Elfangor Sirrinial Shamtul,an Andalite aristh or cadet in training to become a warrior. The Andalites and the Yeerks have been at war for many years. Neither side seems to be able to destroy the other. Arasth Elfangor has has been called to the battle bridge, to be sent on a mission within the hour. The mission that will change his life forever. This is a colorful book in which Applegate throws in some good descriptions of what is happening at the time. *A thrilling book that keeps the pages turning. Visser Three's story is also told in this story. It tells who is responsible for creating the abombination that calls itself Visser Three,the only Yeerk to have aquired and Andalite body. Let us hope he is the last. When danger rears its ugly head, Elfangor puts his hoof down and stands up to the Visser. A must read.

Summary: ANIMORPH READERS will love it!
Review: Like most of K. A. Applegate's Animorph books, this sci-fi special edition is on my reread shelf. Every time I pick the book up to read it again I find there was something I had missed the last time.

'The Andalite Chronicles' begins 21 years ago. The universe is threatened by a species that enslaves the intelligent life forms from each planet.

The Yeerks.

These aliens are parasites who, several years before, were given the technology of space travel by a sympathetic member of another alien species. And so, it now lies on that species, known as the Andalites to destroy the Yeerks.

The story opens up with an andalite 'artish' (a warrior in training) on board a battle ship in space. This young artish, known as Elfangor is the main character in this book. He has been recruited like the other cadets to fight the Yeerks. Later, when he is assigned to accompany a Prince (a leading warrior or officer) on transport duty, an unforeseen chain of events takes place. This leads him across the galaxy with a fellow cadet, the Prince and two humans, to stop the Yeerks from getting hold of the universe's most dangerous weapon of all time. So dangerous that it had been hidden for so long that most of the more intelligent species thought it a myth. The Time Matrix has been found and now, the fate of the entire galaxy is in the hands of one war cadet.

'The Andalite Chronicles' is my favourite K. A. Applegate book. Elfangor is serious, somewhat kind, smart, insightful, and like all of us, makes quit a few large mistakes. Animorph readers will find this book has a few surprises in the end. To me, I don't think I'd ever sell this book. It's a definite keeper.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It is an excellent book!!!!!!!!!
Review: This book talks about Elfangor-Sirinial-Shamtul. An Andalite hero and a war prince. It is Elfangor's hirac delest before he dies at the hands of Visser Three. Elfangor's journey through time and his relationship with the human Loren are excellently explained by the author. The part where he creates his own universe is brilliant. I recommend this book to all Animorph fans and the beginners. The language is simple and the plot an be credited to the author. It is an amazing book.

READ IT RIGHT AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Cheated Book
Review: We've got a problem here. On one hand we have...The Andalite Chronicles, far and away the best book in the Animorphs series. Mixing in elements from different genres (plenty of science fiction, a little adventure, a sprinkle of romance (!) and just enough twist to make it superb,)it cumulates in an interesting truth that I never would have guessed, but makes the series so much better. I'd love to tell it here, but no spoilers :(

On the other hand, I would never recommend this series because of the anticlimaxes in the last book. This makes for Elfangor, Loren, Alloran, and Tobias being cheated, but this bright star doesn't balance out book 54 (you can see my review there).
