Ok, i admit it. Even though I am the biggest Animorph fan, and K.A. is the best author in the world, but this book went nowhere fast. K.A., you can do better than this. It was short and didn't give you enough options. R.L. Stein wrties better Choose Your Owen Adventures than this, and he can't even write anywhere near as good as K.A. Now, K.A. has written many good books before this, and she has written many excellent books after. So all you hard-core Animorph fans out there, let's just put this one on our shelves so we can have the whole collection and forget about it. All in all, kind of disappointing, but doesn't ruien K.A.'s other fine work. Animorphs rule!

This is your basic choose-your-own-adventure book, where you get to pick the morphs you do. It's pretty pathetic, I would not reccomend gettting it, even if you're a die-hard Animoprhs fan. It's all luck. It doesn't tell you if you'd be a good Animorph or not, it just depends on if you guess the right morph or not. It's also pretty confusing, with all the Sario Rips and everything. If you've only got $5.05, then go out and see a good movie. Don't waste your money on this.

I absolutly love the animorphs books, but this one wasn't nearly as good. Just for starters it could have been ALOT longer. And anyway, the oly thing you got to decide was your morphs. I think there should have been ALOOOOT more things to decide. Don't get me wrong though. The other Animorphs are great! (Especcialy 26, 32,3,and 13) <animorhs rock>

I am a big Animorphs fan, so when I read this book, I was really disappointed. It should have countiuing plots for the other morphs you choose, just besides you dying. It would be a lot more interesting that way. I hope then next one will be at least a little longer and with more options on you morphs.

This book was way too short. I read it in about ten minutes. Another thing was it lacked content. You had to do everything the right way or start over. If I knew what it was like, I wouldn't have bought it.

Actually,I think this book is not a book worthy enough to be bought.The whole book is extremely short and lacks content.It also does not bring up other questions rather than morphing ,but if your hardcore enough like me, buy it read it once ,put it on your shelf with the rest of the Animorph books you own and be proud you have the whole collection.Sigh.....

It has you going, and being an Animorph. Sounds good, right? No, it does a lousy job of you being an Animorph. It has you deside witch morph you use. And it doesn't have as many pages as it should have. Too much information for a 115 page book. It should be a 150 page book for all that information.

K.A. Appelgate is one of my most favorite writers around and her "Animorphs" series super, however, this book fell a bit below my expectations. There wasn't very many decisions to make and if you made a bad one you usually get killed in some way. I would suggest to K.A. not to expect all your readers to want to be the good guy--some I know would like to be a "bad" Animorph. It needs more choices, more plots and less details. Most of the readers probably already know what the Animorphs look like and such. I understand that this is only the first one you have written; maybe you need to get some help from an experienced "Choose you own story" writer (R.L. Stein of "Goosebumps" fame, and numurous other writers). This book is not bad for a first try, but it could be better. Good luck, try again.

This book is a waste of money. If I could, I'd give it zero stars. Resist the temptation to see what this book is like, even if you are a die hard animorph fan. There are tons of things that this book executes poorly, but the largest problem is that it's more like finding out if you are lucky at guessing correct awnsers than seeing if you are good enough to be an animorph. No book can tell you if you could be an animorph or not. Besides, how do you know if you would make a good animorph if they don't give you a rating or a score? Another major problem is that this book is WAY too short. I finished it in less than hour! It should be as long as a megamorphs book or the Andalite chronicles, or maybe even longer. And those are only a few of the many problems in this book. One example is you become a hyena to stop one of visser three's morphs. You do then suddenly, you're shot by some policeguard you neve knew existed.

Let me clear up one thing: KA didn't write either of the Alternamorphs. She did the least she could possibly do and still get her name on the cover. It could have been much better, but what makes Alternamorphs even worse is that it isn't really a choose-your-own-adventure. There is only one way to get to the ending; one wrong move and you're dead. You're better off just leaving this on the shelves and reading Animorphs for what it is.
