5.0 out of 5 stars A book that will keep you on the edge of your seat!!!!!!!!!!, April 8, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Android (Animorphs, No. 10) (Mass Market Paperback)

In Animorphs #10 The Andriod, five kids have the power to morph. (In Animorphs #1 The Invasion they explain everything.) One kid, Marco, sees an old friend named Erek. He was handing out flyers for the Sharing, which is a secret organization for the Yeerks. The Yeerks are aliens secretly invading earth, taking over the bodies of people and controlling their every move. Later, the Animorphs are told by Erek that Erek and the others are the Chee, who are androids. I think I need to explain what I said about the others. The others are not the Animoprhs, they are other androids. The Chee were created by the Pemalites. The Chee were originally made as toys. Chee means "friend." The Chee were programmed to not kill anything. Only one thing can rewrtite their systems, the Pemalite crystal. There's only one problem, the Yeerks have it. That's where you can enjoy an adventure with the Animorphs, by the way, Marco is the one who came up with the word Animorphs, it means animal morph. I liked this book because I've always liked science fiction books. I also liked the way the author writes from somone else's point of view. The author also cycles through each Animorph's point of view, in a pattern. I recommend this book and all the other Animorph books in the series. By David McGough

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS BOOK WILL NEVER LET YOU COME BACK TO YOUR WORLD!, May 9, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Android (Animorphs, No. 10) (Mass Market Paperback)

I give this book a 9 because it was pretty good. Marco and Jake are at a concert (in dog morph) and they see Erek King, Marco's old friend from school. I thought Marco was insane when he and Jake told the other Animorphs and Ax that Erek didn't smell. (That's gross.) So the Animorphs and Ax investigate, and they find out Erek is an android. If you want to find out more, READ THE BOOK!

5.0 out of 5 stars An Awesome Book!, April 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Android (Animorphs, No. 10) (Mass Market Paperback)

I was looking at some other reviews and was shocked. I can't believe you can not like this book! Maybe the idea of the spirits of dogs being that of a long-extinct alien species is a little far-fetched, but, hey! Look at the rest of the series. I LOVED it!
