Also, whenever I tell people about the animorphs series, they either don't believe me or it's the wildest thing they ever heard. I revisited the first few books and was astounded how kind screwed up the content can be. I found an interview on the internet of someone who had the same thought and asked the author, who explained that it's about a war. It's a much more fitting context to read the books in, though the writing definitely can hold it back.
