Summary: It was so good
Review: I just couldn't put it away. I loved it. It was more grown up than the Animorphs, but not too grown up. It has adventure and it involves kids around my age. If you liked Animorphs, but thought it was just a little too childish,you will love this new series. Personaly, I give it a thumbs up.

Summary: Everworld
Review: This book was a little diffrent than what I expected. It is more fantasy than scifi. Heck, it isn't remotly scifi! KAA ment this series for older readers. Not so much as it's complicated but some of it's content may not be appropriate for younger readers. With a plot that is obviously KAA matterial , this book displays much mythology (mostly viking which I never quiet took a liking to).It sorta reminds me of the TWILIGHT ZONE with it's complexity and plot.The characters were well written out and seem to be like real people. Although I am a huge scifi fan I do like a little fantasy in my reading. I think I will keep reading on with this and see where it goes. My hat goes off to you KAA.

Summary: Cool easy handling from K.A.
Review: A refreshing switch from Animorphs, the smashing sci-fi/adventure series that hit kid culture hard. K.A. shows that she can write in-depth and serious, and also displays her love for mythology. Myself, I thought when I first read it, Finally! Something about the Viking gods!

Summary: Wonderful new series for older AniFans
Review: In short, I loved Everworld. Just like Animorphs, KA took what, from the summary, appeared to be a peice of strung-together cliches and made it into a wonderful, original series which is rivaled only by Animorphs (and maybe that is only because of its large number and it's very "into" the story by now) in its ability to make me beg my parents to take me to the mall and me, a teenager, a ask in front of a crowded bookstore, ask a clerk if they have the latest installment of a "children's" book series. Everworld is, of course, a fantasy, but it's a lot more than that description implies. Unlike the person who gave EW 1 star and said Authurian peices are a dime a dozen, Everworld is wonderfully original, and although #3 has Authurian elements, it involves many mythologies and pantheons, even, interestingly, aliens and their own gods. Besides having a number of interesting motifs, it was very entertaining, and all of the characters were interesting, multifaceted and all identifiable in their own way - the Animorphs kids are too, but it takes a while to get to know them. Being the children of a long-running series has definitly been good for the Everworld troupe. The only problem I would have with it is the slightly more mature subject matter. While KA deals with it tastefully and often subtly, as she does with the violence and big issues in Animorphs, and some might argue it would go clear over the heads of the younger set, I defintly wouldn't feel comfortable with my little brother, simply reading Everworld, which has several risque references, serious issues and plenty of inuendo. But with that aside, it was great and I can't wait for the upcoming books. Keep it up, K.A.!

Summary: Very good
Review: This book is great! Not as good as Animorphs, but it is action packed, fun and was written in the true spirit of adventure. As good as it may be, I wouldn't recomend this book for young readers. Good job K.A.!

Summary: K.A. keep it up
Review: As a Loyal Animorphs fan and reader of Animorph book I decided to see what else K.A. Could do so picked EverWorld Search or Senna up, came home and couldn't put it down. I think this is one of K.A. Applegates best book ever and she should keep it up.

Summary: very, very stupid!!!
Review: I was very disapointed in this book.I expected much more than this from K. A. Arthurian books are a dime a dozen. Next time, try to a little bit more original.

Summary: Great New Series! Forget the 5 stars give it a 10!
Review: This is no Animorphs,and that's ok. I love the Animorphs series. It's clearly written, imaginative and fun with just enough action. But this new series takes you even further. I would not recommend it for younger readers. There is mild cursing and references to some major social issues. But for older readers ready to handle a bit of a challenge its great. The characters are rougher more out spoken and with a bit of an attitude. But they need one in Everworld were almost everyone has a shoot first and ask questions later mind set. (You might see some similarities with the Animorphs characters.) The actions is fast with just enough time to catch your breath before you realize your out of the frying pan but into a very large fire then back in the pan. The only draw back is the first few chapters of book 1. I found it not the usually high quality writing of K.A. and almost put the book down. KEEP READING it's worth it, and have book two handy. You'll want to keep going. I can't wait for #3.

Review: And I thought Animorphs was good!! As a fan of mythology I would like to thank K.A. personally for createing such a great book series!! Now the ultimite book would be a Everworld/Animorphs crossover.(Though I doubt it will ever happen!)
