I'm so sad that this series is over, but at least Katherine gave us a much better ending that she did for Animorphs and Everworld. They ended on such huge cliffhangers that I almost screamed in frustration: I'm the kind of person who always has to know what happens.

The book was very good, but not as good as SURVIVAL, which was soooooooo good, man! It dragged a little, and they sat around a lot trying to decide. . . well, just read the book, BUT ONLY IF YOU'VE READ ALL THE OTHERS, that's the only way to fully enjoy it.

There were many unanswered questions, such as: how did they restore life on earth? This was never explained at all! All we know is it involved Billy, Mother/ Daughter, and Echo's baby. Whatever happened to the Beasts and the other Alphas? How exactly did Tate manage to travel back in time? And at the end she makes it seem like they're all dead and just in heaven! Sort of, anyway.

AND THERE WAS NO WORD ON D-CAF! Whatever happened to him? He was my favorite character, and he was almost completely cut out of the last few books!

But it was really beautiful how she finished 2Face's story, and it was a far more finalic ending than for her other series.

All in all, it was a page turner, for me at least, and, while not the best ending in my opinion, it could have been worse. So, I'll give it four stars. I would give her three for all of the stuff above, but she gets some points for the final ending.

The ending of Remnants versus the ending of Animorphs? Remnants wins, hands down. Most exciting ending? Animorphs. But I liked the fact that KAA actually ENDED Remnants. I think that may be the reason for the void of continuation fanfics on fanfiction.net like those that dominate the Ani-fandom. Remnants was an awesome series. I loved the different characters, the different settings, the strange mutations...everything. And I even kind of liked the ending. I just wish it had been a little more exciting. But I do recommend this book to any Remnants fan; you've gotta read this one. How else will you know how it ended?

The Remnants, Maruderors (I know I did not spell that right but who cares), and a few Alphas have finally reached the Source, which turns out to be Mother/Daughter. Inside, they find two old friends, who speak to them and tell them that using three things, they will be able to make the Earth green again. As most the group makes sure everything is ready for the 'regreening' ceramony, some meambers of the group make plans to stop the ceramony. Will these characters accomplish their plans to ruin the ceramony. And even more important, is Echo willing to give up the thing that is most precious to her in order to try to bring her friends a better life?

An awsome book with an awsome ending to an awsome seires!!! The last chappie was my favorite!!! GET THIS BOOK OR BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN TO YOU!!! ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ You'll be glad you read this seires!!!

I am a fan of K.A. Applegate's series. Animorphs, Everworld, Remants--all are good. I enjoyed this whole series even halfway through this book, but the ending itself was not satisfying at all. The only reason I gave this book 2 stars instead of 1 is because, unlike Animorphs and Everworld, it at least had an actual ending. But so many things go unanswered, it's debatable if it counts as an actual ending. I'll warn you now, if you want to read this book and be surprised, stop reading by review here.

First, I don't really get how Billy was able to use Mother's technology to bring Earth back to life, but I'll accept that on the grounds of science fiction. What really irked me was the unanswered questions. What actually caused all these weird mutations? What happened to the Shipwrights, and how did one end up taking over Tamara's baby? It was never really defined who or what this "Ancient Enemy" was, either.

The Missing Five's fates seemed to me to be just a huge cop-out. Their consciousness was somehow mysteriously integrated into Billy's mind? How did this happen? And their bodies had to actually go somewhere, so where were they? This just made me think the author was just tired of writing at this point. Also, unless I miscounted, there was one Remnant we never actually met. 34 Remnants woke up aboard Mother, including the baby. The Missing Eight disappeared from the Mayflower, and then five others were left still sleeping when the Riders attacked. We found out the Missing Eight were divided between the Troika and the five others inside Billy. Kubrick and his dad were two of the five left behind, and then there was Noyze and Dr. Cohen. Doesn't that leave one Remnant still unaccounted for by the end? My only guess is that we're supposed to assume that this unaccounted Remnant was eaten by the Troika when they devoured all the other life forms aboard Mother.

The last thing that really annoyed me was how it all just seemed to wrap up so nicely. Don't get me wrong, I wanted a happy ending, but not only is Earth restored, the mutations the Remnants had fade with time as mysteriously as the came. It's like the author's saying, "It doesn't matter how they got the mutations because they're gone now. Everything's peachy!"

All in all, this book was a let down and weak ending to a series I enjoyed reading. Hopefully, if K.A. Applegate does another science fiction series like this, we'll get an actual ending that has the answeres we've been looking for.

This book was ok, but the last book had more of a attention getter. This book was slow and then it ended slowly. It never really got exciting during the whole story until they find Tate's last message to them and then it is a little more entertaining but still slow and kind of boring. I had to read it because the last book was so cool and I had to know how it ended. Animorphs and Everworld at least had an open ending which made you think what happens now. With Remnants it is, this happens and that's it. The end. They never actually tell you exactly what happens to get the ending of this book. You will turn the page and start thinking "I can't wait to see what happens next" and then its ten years in the future and Jobs tells what its like now and that all the ending is.
