Summary: Reader over 25
Review: As always, I'm here with another viewpoint if someone like parents, teachers, etc. might be curious about an adult's point of view on the series. Megamorphs is the first of the series which steers away from the threads of something a little deeper which have been in all the other books to date (growing up, friendship, family, etc.) However, I still give this book the highest possible rating for other reasons. It's the longest one of the series up to this point, and Applegate kept her story together with a smooth, exciting flow which keeps the reader guessing. I was in my early twenties, and have read everything from Tolstoy and Dickens to Peanuts and Garfield. I figured it out, eventually, on the first read, but I wasn't all that far ahead of Ax when it was revealed by the plot itself. Rachel has to deal with a memory loss, Cassie with thinking she's a coward, Jake with keeping them together, and all of them with this dust beast which seems intent on destroying or capturing them. Marco's wit, as always gives a great laugh. The plot is creative, well thought out, and not too far out in left field (even for its target age group) for a sci-fi book to make it totally unbelievable. All in all, this is a very good read for a high action, mysterious, entertaining, and cohesive story for the target age. It can certainly be enjoyable for ages many years beyond 12, as well.

Summary: Awesome! Keep up the good work Katherine!
Review: Im a devoted Animorphs (and now Megamorphs ;-) ) fan. I got this book two days ago (May 16th) and I stayed up from 9:00 to 11:00 taking my time and reading it. I rate it a 9 because it was kind of weird when Rachel had amesia, it was sort of confusing. But the Veleek was sooo COOL!!!!! It was alost neat how Applegate wrote about every Animorphs point of view. Hopefully next time we can have a chapter from Visser 3's point of view! ;) Well thats all for now. If you have any questions regarding this book, please contact me and I will answer your questions ASAP. Thanks

Summary: We can't morph anymore
Review: School's out for the animorphs. But that does not mean that the evil yeerks are going to stop controlling people's minds or chasing the kids (or andalites) with the abilities to change into any animal they touch. But Rachel has gone to a gymnastics camp she signed up for before getting into the whole mess. She decides to fly a little before going away. She is attacked by sparrows or something and crashes into a tree. When she wakes up she has lost her memory and guesses she is some freak of nature. The other animorphs have a little problem of their own. Each time they morph a dangerous Yeerk creature comes to capture them. What good is morphing if you can't do it without a monster sensing it? And will Rachel regain her memory? I like this book because it's a unique blend of many first-person narratives.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A GREAT BOOK!
Review: This book is like six Animorphs books rolled into one, 'cos it's from the viewpoint of all of them.

The main plot is that Visser Three's discovered something - a Veleek from Saturn. It homes in on morph energy and captures whoever is morphing. So, the Animorphs are safe if they don't morph - but morphing is their only weapon . . .

There are also sub-plots for each character:

CASSIE tries to get over being a "coward" when she lets the Veleek take Marco. RACHEL has to deal with losing her memory. AX has to deal with his shame over not killing Visser Three. JAKE tries to keep up-to-date and look after all of the Animorphs at once. TOBIAS has to control his anger at having slept through most of the story. MARCO has to try and take things seriously (for once).

This book is very good, although sometimes it's confusing reading one chapter about what happened to Ax, and then reading the next chapter about Marco that starts halfway through Ax's chapter, followed by Rachel's chapter that starts before either Marco or Ax's chapter . . . see what I mean? Pretty good read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWESOME APPLEGATE RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: When I first saw pictures of the Animorph books , I thought," Oh, Man.That is one sick series. No one will ever catch ME reading one of those,". And now look at me; The craziest, wackiest, most addicted, Animorph fan EVER! Megamorphs #1 is one of the best Animorph books I've ever read! It's a real challenging book, not only for the Animorphs, but for the readers as well. You've got to admit, it takes a lot of brainwork to keep up with the plot. Mrs. Applegate, if you ever see this, I will die slowly of Kadrona starvation if you ever stop writing this series. You are the best author I ever think I will know of. My sisters are addicted to the Animorphs, too. My sister, Shannon read the Andalite Chronicles, and when she finished it, I asked her how she liked it. Her answer was:"I am going to kill Visser Three." I REALLY suggest this book for you people out there.And I have to agree with my sister. I am going to kill Visser Three.

p.s. Any of you anifans out there?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This book is an extremely awsome book
Review: Young science fiction lovers will run to the bookshelves to get a copy of Animorphs: the Andalite's Gift by K.A. Applegate. The setting you will encounter in this book is mostly the forest. Every book has exiting characters but not as exiting as the characters in this book. They are Jake, Cassie, Rachel, Tobias, Ax, Marco, and Visser Three. There is major conflict in this book. It is between the Animorphs and Visser Three's Yeerks, which are slugs that can control your brain.
This book is a MUST READ book because when I read it I was addicted to it. It is extremely interesting. The book puts pictures in your head. It also makes you think it's real. If you watched the TV show and still didn't understand it the book will help. If you still don't know if you're going to read it you should read the back and take my word for it!
The author of this book seems very creative. The author is female and writes kids' books. One interesting fact is that you don't know if one book leads to another one. You should really check out this book and check out some other Animorphs books.
