I feel silly now thinking the TV series came first...

Well, you are 14! Animorphs is before your time. You'd have been like 4 when Animorphs started.
That just made me realize that it has been TEN years since Animorphs came out. Jeez that is crazy. Ack! I can still remember getting the first book in sixth grade. I did not think about how long ago that was! Wow!

Ten years, seriously? That's insane. It still seems like yesterday sometimes.

Aw man, 10 years! Jeez. And it's even been years since the last one was released. We're sooo old!

I read Animorphs for a long while, but the motivation just kind of went out of me after a while, replaced by Redwall, then Star Wars, then Dune, then...well, I don't really remember. I'm living about a hundred miles away from the nearest book shop that sells animorphs right now, and I'm curious about how the series turned out. Would anyone be so kind as to give me a summary of the last couple/few books?

The Yeerks find out that the Animorphs are human and who they are. Jakes parents are infested. The Animorphs retreat into hiding but continue to fight. Visser Three becomes Visser One and starts escalating the invasion, basically setting the stage for the final showdown. The Yeerks get the morphing cube and a bunch of yeerks now have morphing powers. The Animorphs recruit a bunch of handicapped kids to join them, these people are called the Auxillary Animorphs.The Animorphs blow up the Yeerk pool. The Visser then lands the Pool Ship on the surface of the earth so the yeerks can have access to the pool, but now everybody knows about their existence. Jake makes one final plan and they manage to get control of the Pool ship. The Taxxons switch sides and join the Animorphs. The yeerks are forced to surrender or they will all die from kardonna starvation. Rachel is killed in a mission to stop Tom from destroying the pool ship. Tom the yeerk planned on betraying Visser One and escaping the solar system with his blade ship. The remainder of the last book chronicles what the Animorphs do with their lives for the first few years after victory, and then Jake receives word that Ax, now a great prince, has been captured by an unknown alien force. Jake and the surviving Animorphs except for Cassie board an Andalite ship and go off in search of Ax. The book ends with Jake giving the order to ram a yeerk blade ship that is under the control of the mystery alien. That's the end of the book. I assume that they all die, but this can not be known for sure.

Hrmm...I can't say that that seems like a very satisfying ending. Maybe I'm glad that I didn't read to the end.

I found the last couple of books to be a let down myself.

I agree, the biggest problem with the book was the ending. However, the book is also rushed, and none of the characters except for Jake are all that fleshed out. I think book 54 should've been just the end of the war itself and the first few hours or days afterwards while a book 55 would've told the story of what happened to them all.

I think that would have turned out much better.

I think most of 53 was pretty good, everything leading up to the final attack, Jake finally starting to lose it, confronting Tom, the Taxxons switching sides, even up to invading the Yeerk Pool Ship. But then there were too many things K.A. didn't tie up, like the Yeerk Peace Movement, and Jakes plan was flawed, he should have sent Auxillaries with Rachel!

He lost 
Visser Three was an awesome villian. I loved how angry he got and how crazy he could be at times. He wasn't that smart
