The Barnes & Noble Review
The end is near -- very near. Every Animorph question is about to be answered. There's only one more book in the popular series, and The Answer epitomizes everything the books have stood for -- suspense, struggle, and fights to save planet Earth.
The war is raging on, and the Yeerks are everywhere. Jake tries to convince the government to help him and the Animorphs destroy the Yeerk pool. But when that plan fails, they try to do the job themselves. In an effort to deter new arrivals and finish off the ones still around, the Animorphs and Ax blow holes throughout the Yeerks pool. In these gallant efforts, some innocent bystanders are hurt, but that is the way of the world they live in. But the plans go awry, and Jake and the Animorphs find themselves trapped in the new Yeerk Pool. They have lost all hope, when they find unexpected comfort and comradeship from the disgusting Taxxons -- who have always been associated with Yeerks and have their own problems with the destroyers. They might just be able to save planet Earth -- but has the end already begun? (Amy Barkat)
