15 years too late

I should have read these so long ago. I’m floored at how amazing this book is. When coming into YA I expect a certain amount of hand holding and corniness, but this book pulls no punches. It’s got amazing sci-fi elements and isn’t afraid to explore the very real consequences of war and death. 100% recommend for all ages.

Bunch’a idiot teenagers with a death wish.

I’ve been waiting for these to come out on Audible since the moment I started using it. And now finally they’re here! Narration and quality is great too.

Animorphs is an amazing book series that’s part Animal Planet, part Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and part something else. Reading these as an adult, you realize how dark the series actually is. This seems like a light hearted action adventure sci-fi written for preteens, but it gets much deeper than that.

I highly recommend this to adults, just as mush as to 12 year olds. The series as a whole has a depth to it that surpasses the average “us against them” stereotype found in most stories. When I read them as a child, they taught me that there is no one side to anything; everyone has a backstory, even those you consider your enemy. It also taught me that war is not a romantic epic where everyone gets medals at the end. War is ugly, and innocent people are affected no matter what.

So anyway, I could go on for a long time but I’ll try to end here. Audible, PLEASE CONTINUE RELEASING THESE! I’ll spend good money on all of em. 🤑

Nostalgia, thy name is Animorphs

This was my favorite book series when i was in middle school, i have almost the complete series! I was so happy when i downloaded and listened to the book to discover that not only does the writing hold up for an older audience, but the narrator does a fantastic job of voice acting! Credits well spent, and I look foreword to downloading the whole series as it comes out!

Grew up with this series - did not disappoint!

I grew up reading the Animorph series, and I couldn't resist this book when it came out. It did not disappoint.! MacLeod Andrews is one of my favorite narrator/performers, and he did a wonderful job bringing this first book to life. I will most likely move slowly through the rest of the series, $10 per book is a little steep for a 3 hour book.

Been waiting 13 years for this

13 years ago, I went looking for Animorphs audiobooks and couldn't find them. Now, they're real, and they're just what I wanted.

Please record the entire series!

This was absolutely a blast from start to finish. I read all of these many moons ago and now I have children and they both love listening to them. The performance was strong and easy to listen to. Maybe he could be a tiny bit brighter (tone) but I'm not going to knock him down for that. The real question is when do they record the first megamorphs book.

Easy to Follow

I listened to this because it was assigned for a book club. Even though I prefer Audible for the cost (free) since my spouse gets credits every month, I sometimes have a hard time following the story because I'm not an audible learner. However, MacLeod Andrews did a great job at narrating, and Katherine Applegate's story and plot also made it easier to understand and a joy to listen to. Applegate is highly imaginative and great at putting herself in the "shoes" of non-humans. I wouldn't mind listening to another book in the series.

great introduction to the story!

it's a very interesting concept, the way that they introduce characters and tell the story is great.

Flash from the past

I read all the books as a kid and when I found I here, I didn't think twice. Listening has brought me back to my childhood and reminded me how much I loved this series as a child.
