Summary: The Hidden
Review: I thought this book moved a bit too fast but was really good because as well as all the action it really made you think. This book is mostly about the Animorphs on the run from the Yeerks who have activated the Helmacron's morph-finding device. When I first started this book I thought I wouldn't like it as it sounded a bit like #24, another Cassie book which I hated. But the other main plot in this book was about a buffalo accidently getting the power to morph and morphing into Chapman several times. It was very intresting and touching in some parts seeing a buffaflo trying to deal with a human form. I didn't like the bufflflo dying though since I had hoped for a happier ending for it. The book seemed to end too quickly after that. One thing I found strange though was Cassie's attitude towards the ant which had accquired her. She was very sympathetic towards the buffalo but after seeing the ant her first reaction was just 'kill it' which she did and never had any afterthoughts. The ant didn't know what was going on any more then the buffalo did. That didn't seem in the character of Cassie. This is one of the best recent Animorphs books, definetly better then #40 and #41 and also an improvement on #38. I advise you to read it if you like Animorphs.

Summary: Hilarious!
Review: I was laughing sooo hard at some of the parts! And the Cassie-ant part was funny, along will all of the other parts with the morphing animals. It was also funny when the bull blew up. hehehe, I must have a bad sense of humor.

Summary: Why didn't I give this book TWO stars, you ask?!
Review: Let me explain. The Escafil Device gives the power to morph to anyone who touches it, so it's about time we get to know why something as small as an insect, or even other animals, don't come across the box and get the power. Also it brings back the Helmacron's ship and their morph-tracking technology, so the Yeerks have the Animorphs on the run and are tracing the box without stopping. But honestly, this book STINKS AMONG ALL CASSIE BOOKS!It's not Cassie's fault, though. It's Applegate's. The entire book goes through the span of one day and night, and it's hard to believe that the Animorphs would be able to keep moving for that long. Plus, the book offers no stops, and that kills it's roller-coaster effect on the reader. It doesn't give them any breaks to stop and let the events sink into their mind, and then when the sentimental morals of Cassie arrive it's hard to prepare to take them down without throwing up at the mere mention of them! I can bare with Cassie talking about free will, and the right to murder Yeerks, and the whole thing about eating animals from book #28, The Experiment, but if the readers aren't prepared for it then it starts to get on their nerves. However, the book does offer a lot of action, and the thing with the buffalo morphing into human situation is interesting, but the plot moves so fast it's hard to believe it actually happened.

Summary: A Fairly Decent Book
Review: People often dislike books that focus on ethics rather than action; I usually beg to differ. The Hidden, however, was one of those books that has a lot of action and some plot holes to go with it. I think the writer should have put more effort into this book. It seemed very rushed. I disagreed with the morality issue because logically, it's incorrect. I still recommend this book because it makes you think, and come to your own conclusion about sentience. The ending was interesting, although slightly unrealistic, and it was a fairly decent book. I definitely recommend all Cassie books because her qualms are, at the very least, nearly on-target. The ethical questions are my favorite part of this series. Also recommended: #7, #19, #23, #26, #33, #41, #43, #48, #49

Summary: Animorphs #39: The Hidden
Review: The Yeerks have located and repaired a damaged Helmacron morph-tracking sensor. Now they're prepared to make a full-blown hunt for the Animorphs, but most importantly-- the morphing cube. Cassie and the others can't let the cube get into alien hands at all consequences. All the while a wild animal is loose from her parents' reserve, and wraking havoc upon everything it is angered by. Cassie must dodge that animal, and protect her secret. The hunt is full-on and Cassie may never survive , let alone catch one breath. The Hidden had nonstop action, nonstop rushing, and yet this made the book very enjoyable. It's a gripper, but not one of the best in the series. One thing you'll realize immediately about The Hidden is that Cassie never, ever stops. Yet it made the book quite good, and the drama portrayed here is unforgettable. There were several sad parts in this book, but it contributed to its quality, though I wouldn't say this book had much quality in it. I thought this was a pretty good book, though not one of the best.
