Awww! The death scene was especially poignant in the Andalite Chronicles, I think. Where he's talking about how it's his last recording and how he feels like maybe there's some hope for the universe after all if this is his son, but where he also gets to see the time-space thread of Tobias' life and knows ahead of time how much suffering and pain Tobias'll be put through -- that just aches in. Ow. K.A. really knows how to rip at you.
El-Jay is being so evil that I'm glad I don't have a permanent account. It makes me less tied to it if I ever decide to move.
Hm. I remember that because of Animorphs, HP really disappointed me. I kept expecting to like HP more than I did, so it was really a weird experience to love Animorphs so much and be left unmoved by HP. Especially when people were talking about crying over Cedric or Sirius dying, and I could only remembering having teared up over Rachel.
But I thought Sweet Valley Twins/High was a staple of middle-class teenage girls. Nice to know someone escaped. XD
Cassie, well, I could really see her point sometimes but her incredible focus on the animals really grated. But so did Jake's sanctimoniousness. I think that it's probably the fact that they're the ones who do the most moralizing, whereas Ax is ruthless, Marco's all straight-line, Tobias is ... Tobias and Rachel is ruthless. I like ruthless characters.
And I love Marco being all, "No choice. I saw the straight line from A to B and I had no choice. People think being ruthless means being mean. It's not. It's seeing the straight line from A to B and following it. And right now, I could see the straight line." And the book where he has to set his mother up to die and knows it and then wants to save her last minute but gets tackled to the ground? Ow ow ow ow ow. Animorphs is amazing in how much depth it has and how well K.A. conveys pain.
