Summary: if you don't like it, don't read it
Review: I have read the first two, and i'm hooked. The portrayal of the characters is nearest to the actual behavior of normal juniors in high school. I am a senior, and i must admit that many of the issues that are brought up in their dialogue are the same issues that i thought of just a year ago. I must commend Miss Applegate on such an accurate depiction of us american teenagers. Maybe it's just me, but I feel we need more books like these around to help us all feel a little bit more normal.

Summary: Everworld
Review: I love this book! I bought this book and I couldn't put it down. This book makes it so you actually think you are there going through everything with Christopher. Wow! I love this book soooo much. I truly can't wait to buy the whole series! Every page of it will put you at the edge of your seat! You don't want to read on but you have to. The details make it so you can't stop reading.

Summary: This one was great too!!
Review: I loved Land of Loss too! The batt...err umm, I don't want to ruin it. But the beginning is super cool, and the Aztecs are very freaky. I really enjoyed this book, even if Christopher was somewhat whiny. Oh well, it was great!!!

Summary: Totally entrancing
Review: I loved this book before I read it and even more afterwards. Anyone with imagination, or even into mythology, I think you should read it. I may only be 13, but I know a good book when I see it!

Summary: Just as good and interesting as the first one!
Review: I read the first Everworld book, Search For Senna, and I really liked it. The entire premise is highly original and the characters are very believeable. This book starts off where the other one ended, and it keeps you just as entertained as the first one. The story kinds-of drags along, and that's my only complaint, but the clever use of humor that Christopher, the character telling this part of the story, brings out fills in for that and so it keeps the plot going great. I still think that the use of cuss words is okay, seeing how ANYONE would go nuts just being in the situation that Applegate gives. It also gives some information on the Aztecs, which I'm not sure is entirely true but am pretty sure K.A. did some good research on. I am certain that the series has a lot more to offer, and is bound to get even better.

Summary: A Great Book!! I loved it!
Review: I really liked this book, and the others in the series. I agree with some reviews that there is a little more cussing than is needed, but I am 12, and I dont mind a bit. Animorphs are great, but the storyline is kinda old, and I read them a lot, so I wanted an older book to read. One that wasnt so easy. Animorphs I can predict what is going to happen, because for cryin out loud there are about 35 of them! In Everworld there are twists and turns that kept me reading! And I totally dissagree that the charaters dont have personality. They are belivable personalitys of teens, these books tell the truth. I give KA snaps for showing the real thoughts of teens, not a Brady Bunch senario. Bad stuff happens to them plenty, I mean almost getting your heart carved out isnt bad enough for ya? If you like exiting, thrilling, mysterious books with a little bit of magic and a teens perspective you should deffanatly read this!! Again I LOVED this book, its great!

Summary: This is one of Da best books
Review: I think this is one of the best books. It is better than the other books. It is so much more better in everything eg: in the fighting, the keeping you on the edge of your seat. I say to everyone should buy this book. EVERWORLD: LAND OF LOSS!!!!!

Rating:
Summary: Very excellent book!!!
Review: I thought these books were awesome!! But I don't agree with some people that it is only for older teens. I didn't even pick up on the mature parts until they were pointed out to me. I feel that, although these book aren't ment for kids under 10 or 11, they are fine for most Animorphs fans.

Summary: Funny.........
Review: I thought this book was funny! They have escaped Huitzilopoctl, met Merlin fought with Vikings in this book. Christopher adds humor and sarcasm to almost anything. This book in the series is one of my favorites!

Summary: Action Packed, But Character Shallow
Review: I'm writing as a fan of KA Applegate, someone who has some of her series in entirety. Here, I like the concept of "visiting" an array of mythic beings, from Vikings to aliens. I worry only about the characterization of the Aztecs, who are portrayed as singularly blood thirsty savages. At one time, the culture certainly engaged in its share of violence in the names of religion and politics (much like the Inquisition across the sea); however, the Aztecs historically were also ritualistically clean people with a stunning grasp on math and science for their era, with complex trade systems, etc. I wish there was a paragraph clarifying that the Aztecs in this book are a mythological distortion so that kids with a limited knowledge of them will not be misled. (I.E., in contrast, it's clear that the Vikings portrayed are a variation of the true Vikings of history.) Also I would've liked to have seen more character development; however, the voice of the narrator was strong. It was brave writing.
