1: skip it
In this book, Tobias and Ax morph taxxons to put natrul gas in the Yeerk pool. Taylor, a Controller says she's part of the Peace Movment and she comes up w/ the idea. It's really boring. Normaly Tobias books are good, but this one is horrible.

2: On a par with 30 and 31...
What can I say? This book should never really have been written. All it does is rehash the events of #33, keeping the uncharacteristic elements of Tobias and leaving out any originality or furthering of either plot or character. This is a 'filler' book, just like the aforesaid #30 and #31: nothing has changed by the end. The two stars, by the way, are for Tobias who remains my favourite character...but for how long, if his books end up like this?

3: One to read
I think Tobias' character really developed in this book. Each Tobias book sees new changes for him and this was a big one. The Animorphs co-operate with Taylor, the Controller who tortured Tobias in #33 for this one. Seeing Taylor again brings up all sorts of memories of his torture and questions in Tobias' mind. He keeps thinking back to when he first became a nothlit, wondering if he actually gave up and chose to be trapped in hawk morph. ( This was one of my favourite parts of the book as I always wanted to know what happened to Tobias when he was first trapped.)What happens to Taylor in the end was definetely deserved, but, as in the case of Visser One, I think she will be back.The ending I thought was very powerful and a great ending line from Rachel. This definetly ranks in my best Animorphs books, not quite up there with #3,#31 and #33, my all-time favourites but close. Tobias is my favourite character and I always enjoy his books. Though only a book to read after you've read some of the other Animorphs and seen the slow devlopment of the characters through time.

4: Light in the Tunnel
After starting this series around a year or two ago, I have sadly seen the average book decline and become simply average. The Test on the other hand has been a bright spot. It is interesting and suspensful. The insight into Tobias is always interesting given his conflicting hawk and human personalities. This book is one of the best books written so far, even with Visser, The Capture and The Forgotten. Great book, you've got to read it.

5: The Test
Taylor, Tobias's old torturer from the past, has come back to haunt Tobias. But it looks as if she's cleaned up her act. She wants the Animorphs' help in overthrowing Visser Three and blowing up the Yeerk pool. It looks risky, but it's a big chance for the Animorphs. It's an ever bigger test for Tobias, seeing that he should trust this evil Yeerk. But it's seemingly an offer he can't refuse. Morphing a Taxxon is risky indeed, but isn't it worth the outcome? Or is the outcome darker then Tobias and the others could expect...
