Goooood Monday morning (afternoon) to you all!
I'm almost glad to be back at work, it forces me to actually do stuff. Like answer emails. ^^;
I was searching around the internet, and stumbled across an Animorphs site. This site has Q+A with the authors of the series (apparently there were 2 of them, working under one penname. Huh.). A while ago I d/led the e-books to the series, maaaybe it's time to revisit them ^____^ It's been far too long, and it would be interesting what I got from the series now that I'm not in elementary school anymore. Who here read the series?
An interesting quote from the forum from the authors, on the subject of Animorphs possibly being too dark for its intended audience: "It's bizarre that a parent will blithely tell a four year old a story about children being abandoned in the woods by their parents, entrapped by a gingerbread house, threatened with cannibalism, and top it all off with the triumphant resolution where the children burn a witch alive . . . and be upset when a 12 year old reads ANIMORPHS."
And as a side note, I think I was influenced by Rachel more than I thought...
On a related note, I finished the Lord of the Rings trilogy yesterday. It was a pretty good ending, gives good closure. Too much closure I think though...time to re-watch the 3rd movie?
I loved the series, but I never got to watch the movies or TVshow because of stupid school. >.<
ReplyDeleteMy favorite character was, of all people, Elfangor (do you remember his full name? 8D). I read "The Andalite Chronicles" more than any other book in the series. XD
