3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not as satisfying as the others
This book is sort of bad, but good in a way. It shows that Arbat inherited his brother's despiration of releasing a programmed virus to destroy Yeerks. Also, Ax falls in love and there is a strain between the Animorphs and the Andalites. All in all, I give it a 3-starred review.

5.0 out of 5 stars You get to know Ax, February 28, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Animorphs #38: The Arrival (Paperback)
I thought that this book really showed Ax's character and that he isn't just some annoying superior guy with no personality. He's really sweet

4.0 out of 5 stars My Review, March 18, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Animorphs #38: The Arrival (Paperback)
This book really showed you how the world of the Andalites can interfere with the human world. Arbat wanted to destroy his enemies along with what he would have soon found out to be his allies: humans. But Ax, who knew how humans are really like, had stopped him, going against his own kind. This book was filled with surprises that you don't find out until the end. I would recommend this book to people who wanted to know more about Ax.

5.0 out of 5 stars Come on, people!, April 6, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Animorphs #38: The Arrival (Paperback)
Hey, I just read some other reviews for other Animorphs books, and I think somepeople should get off Ms.Applegate's back. I live in a place where new Animorphs books are hard to come by, if you go to a bookstore, the newest you're likely to find is like, #28 or something. I do think the story is getting a little long, but the books are still good. I love to laugh at Marco's jokes, and at how everyone always gets annoyed with Ax for "our minutes". I am asking for more longer books to be written about the Animorphs though, like the Andalite Chronicles, or the Hork-Bajir Chronicles. These normal books are too short, I just devour them up. I contnually thank my friend Kirstin, for getting me hooked on Animorphs, I won't ever forget that! So really, go easy on Ms. Applegate. By the way, this book was really, neat, how we actually meet more Andalites. I really appreciate how Ms. Applegate always makes her stories twist in a neat, suspenseful, page-turning way!

By A Customer
This review is from: Animorphs #38: The Arrival (Paperback)
This was an excellent book. It really shows Ax's personality and tells you what war is really like. Even the good guys do bad things like Arbat. I highly reccomend it. with a little romance and lots of adventure it tells how Ax finnaly got to see one of his own kind. Really an excellent book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprised!, March 9, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Animorphs #38: The Arrival (Paperback)
I hate to admit it, but this book did surprise me. Though I was surprised and suspicious as to why the group would break up in such a manner, and why Ax would seemingly be unconcerned, the end gave a twist. I enjoyed this book because you don't see from an 'insider' view. You don't know exactly what's going on until the end, and then you are filled in. Read the book. Regardless of mine, or other's opinion's, it's -yours- that counts.

This review is from: Animorphs #38: The Arrival (Paperback)
In "The Arrival," an Andalite ship with four Andlaites arrives on Earth, apparently on an assassination mission. Instead of professional warriors, however, the Andalites are a bunch of misfits with secrets of their own: a blustering coward, a pragmatic criminal, a desperate professor, and a naïve prodigy. Jake further demonstrates his abilities as a strategist and leader throughout the book, combining firm resolve with talented deception. Ax, meanwhile, gets his first kiss and realizes where his true loyalties lie.

This Ax book continues the ideas of his other books: that Andalites are not perfect. Andalite society is just as riddled with intrigue, double-dealing, traitors, and government hypocrisy as human society. The book reinforces the ideas that it is impossible to label an entire species (or race) as uniformly this or that. I definitely liked this book, though found the trip to the Yeerk pool unnecessary and contrived as well as the break in at the Community Center too easy and simple.
