Summary: It was a piontless mission but it's a fun book!
Review: Cpaw back again. This is a prity good Animorphs. Cassie and co. discover that the most secret place an earth, Zone91, has proof of alein life. They deside to check it out in Horse morph, but the yeerks have also herd abuot zone91, and since they can't morph horses (except Visser 3) they infest some and a herd of Animorph, yeerk and normal horses end up charging through the base at the same time! The find the alein ? but no-one knows what it is - untill, after escaping being killed by the yeerks and getting out of Z91, Ax tells the Animorphs that the thing is an old Andalite toliet! Then the yeerks deside to infest some of the Zone91 people and the Animorphs have to stop them. One of the funniest ani books, but there's a few little mistakes. On the cover, Cassie morphs a brown horse, but Max, the racehorse she morphs is described as a Palomino. Also, the race Cassie was in sounded like a Thoroughbred race (as oposed to a race between Quater Horses) and Thoroughbreds don't come in Palomino colour. But it's a great book anyway!

Summary: Reader Over 25
Review: While this isn't the most gripping plot written for the Animorphs there's a great deal of tongue-in-cheek humor in it. The mission is to spy on horses which have been infested by Yeerks (see Animorphs 1: The Invasion). To what end, they can't imagine, but it obviously has something to do with "The Holy Grail of Conspiracy nuts" Zone 91. This spoof of Area 51 is a high security military base which is guarding The Most Secret Thing on Earth. Notice the importance stressed by every first letter being capitalized. Some of the other reviews mention what it is, but I'm not going to spoil the fun if you're about to read the book. It turns out to obviously be an alien artifact, and the Yeerks want it so they can wipe out any and all proof that humans might make a connection that there really is alien life in the universe. The Animorphs go through an interesting process of acquiring the DNA of race horses so they can morph into them and infiltrate the dreaded Zone 91, involving explaining Ax as a blue horse. "Someday all horses will be blue," they lamely explain as they're caught, are forced to scatter, and Cassie ends up on the race track. The plot isn't the strongest in this one, but the book is simply a lot of fun. Cassie gets a bit more development in the fact she simply is not the coolest person under fire, which leads to even more humor. Marco, as always is the witty one with the quick logic to make the insane suddenly wise. For people who may have enjoyed X-Files and similar programs, but don't take the Area 51 conspiracy theory too seriously, this is a great, quick read, full of good laughs.
