Summary: interesting
Review: "But 'odd' was a synonym for 'normal' in Everworld." - page 116

After finishing this book, this is what I have decided about the Everworld series so far: Interesting. Whenever you throw in multiple gods of the old, the story is bound to be interesting...

This book comes in where the first left off. Nice transition, for I read this one immediately after finishing the first (Search for Senna) - it throws you in the heated battle of the Aztecs vs. the Vikings in the perspective of cynical and sarcastic Christopher, the guy we all like to hate in real life (can we say, jerk?). The four characters (David, Jalil, April, and Christopher) go through many trials and tribulations, including getting captured by the Aztecs, trudging up the blood-caked pyramid of Huitzilopoctli (the Aztec god of war), meeting strange people called the Coo-Hatch, and much more. At the same time, when they fall asleep, they are back in the real world, and they struggle to cope with their duo, bizarre lives.

K.A. Applegate does a nice job of creating pageturners. Throughout the book, the four characters are required to be on their toes at all times (think fast); otherwise, it could cost them their very lives. Nothing matters anymore, only survival (how to get out of this bizarre world alive). And for David, the survival of Senna, the mysterious so-called "witch" as well (although everyone else doesn't think so).

Christopher's snide remarks got a little repetitive, and although that is his nature, a little less could have relieved my slight annoyance (thus the minus one star :/). David doesn't have much of a personality, so I was a little disappointed... April and Jalil have a lot more to them than meets the eye, so I'll be looking forward to reading their sides of the story.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Here Senna Senna Senna...
Review: After escaping Loki, the four teens from the old world have been minstrels to Viking, and now about to get into a war involving Vikings, Aztecs and more gods. Senna is still no where to be seen and Everworld has broken all the science rules in the old world. They have already seen a wolf the size of a bus and a snake who can eat 100 warriors in one gulp without a lump in its stomach. Not to mention falling 500 feet through a tube and surviving with a feather fall. But the main priority is to find Senna so they can go home. This is book #2 in the riveting series where every unthinkable idea comes to life and can be your dreams and nightmares

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Keeps getting better and better
Review: An Excellent read! The characters are very realistic, so realistic that after a while you get to thinking that they are real people, not just characters in a book.

This book is told from Christopher's point of view. Christopher and his companions (David, April, and Jalil) travel to the land of the Aztecs with a Viking army on a mission to kill the Aztecs main god. There is a huge battle and the vikings end up losing to the Aztecs. When you think that its all over our hero's inspire the vikings that the fight isnt over. They route the Aztecs and injure the Aztec god and manage to get out of there more or less intact.

This is an excellent read but i wouldnt reccomend this to anyone younger than 13 because the characters use mild swear words. I would have given this five stars but i have problems relating to Christopher.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Everworld Land of Loss
Review: David, Jalil, Christopher, and April don't know why they are in everworld, except that it has something to do with Senna, who is missing in Everworld an at home in the real world. While the group tries to find a way home, they end up with drunk vikings and go into battle with blood thirsty immortal gods. They trade science technology with the Coo-hatch, who in return give them something thay can actually use. Join them and Merlin the wizard at the round table whith King Arthur. Could this series get any better?

With an even faster plot than the first book, Land of Loss has you completely hooked and dying for more.

I would definately recommend this book to anyone that loves to sit down and escape reality.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: FINALLY ALL THE BLOOD AND GORE THAT WAS LEFT OUT BEFORE
Review: Don't get me wrong there was a lot more to this book than violence. However it was the one thing that was seriously lacking other Applegate books. Finally a break from the depressing cheerfullness and endless victories in her animorphs series. The characters are more realistic, mature, and pretty much powerless in a hostile setting. It had a good plot and although I don't normally approve of cliff hanger endings it was still very enjoyable and good. A big improvement for Applegate fans.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very interesting
Review: Good book better than animorph

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Alternate Dimensions
Review: I don't mean in a sci-fi way. I never liked sci-fi type stuff. This book is way cool. I mean I guess some would considerate confusing. It's really hard to explain but they're in a world where weirdness is normal ok? Think myths and legends. If you think you're too old for Animorphs than you should read this series. And the person telling this story or this book is Christopher who is one of my favorite characters. He's blond (and supposingly gorgeous) ok! *L* But seriously READ IT!!!!! But I must warn you this book leaves U hanging. *S*

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: COOL!!!!! :)
Review: I found this book as an of the edge of your seat thriller. I found it cool. Just a little to much romance between David and Senna, too much 'passion'. Other than that, it was cool. I recommend it to everyone who likes magic/science-fiction/fantasy readers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Everworld: book #2
Review: I gave this book 5 stars cuz it contained lots of action and adventure. Even though it was fiction, it had some real events in the story, too. For instance, the wars the Vikings had against the Romans and the god Hitzapoctli which is the good of blood. He came from history. It gave all the information I needed for my book jacket project I am doing about books that are fiction but have some real events in it, too. Even my classmate Casey Brannigan and his friend Florian Hinterburger and a few other people bought it the first day it came out in our school book fair. They also thought it was a great book. I recommend u buy this book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very good
Review: I have read all of K.A. Applegate's Animorphs series, and all the Everworld books that are in the bookstore. This particular book is very good. I don't think it is better than #3, but certainly better than #1. It deals with Aztec sacrifices, and meeting aliens. It is definatly worth buying, but it's also not the best I've read from Ms. Applegate.
