I'd only attended two meetings. The first time I just kind of wandered around lost, feeling like a dork. I filled out some form with my name and address and social security number and all. The form asked me some personal questions, too. Nothing too personal, but enough to make me uneasy.

The Sharing straight up asks for your SSN?

So, I own most of the series and have read all of them except The Ellimist Chronicles, but haven't read any Animorphs in a while (except your fanfiction). I feel like nowadays, in addition to rereading books much less frequently than I did when I was 9, I'd rather read something less depressing. But I'm still missing #44, #50, #53, Megamorphs #4, The Hork-Bajir Chronicles, and the two Alternamorphs. Should I buy those on eBay so that I can finally have the complete series?

Hmmm. My own biased opinions:

#50: Buy it. It's controversial, but it's fundamentally important for the series as a whole — the entire transition from the main series to the endgame hinges on this one. It's got excellent (heartbreaking) moments between Cassie and Michelle, Collette being awesome, and good ethical discussions.

#53: Buy it. In some ways this is more of a finale for the series than #54 is, because it explains how the war ends and depicts ~90% of that ending. #54 is firmly a post-war book; this one is the actual resolution to the overarching plots of the series.

MM4: Take it or leave it. There are tons of great character moments, but it's an AU adventure set in a timeline where the Animorphs never became Animorphs, and doesn't ultimately have anything to do with the main series.

Hork-Bajir Chronicles: Take it or leave it. I can hear the enraged howls of fellow fandalites even as I type this, but since you specifically mentioned wanting something lighter, this does not fit the bill. It's extremely well-written, but it's also narrated primarily by a settler colonist who turns on colonialism too late to stop her people from committing genocide.

#44: Leave it. There are 2 or 3 great moments of Cassie being badass, but like MM4 it's a weird one-off that has nothing to do with the main story. And unlike MM4, it doesn't give us any big character reveals — Cassie's moments of badassery mostly echo stuff from #29 and #34.

Alternamorphs: Save your money. As @lucario2012 and @derinthescarletpescatarian have pointed out, they're not even structured correctly — you can't follow story paths unless you guess correctly every time, there aren't clues within-story that can guide you to make the right choices, the choices don't occur frequently enough, and none of it creates a sense of agency. It seems like Scholastic hired a ghost to jump on the "choose-your-own-adventure" trend, gave them 0 training in game theory, and this mess of dying over and over again was the result.

Anyone who disagrees: I wanna hear it!
