Animorphs #51\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The only part I liked about this one was the ducks. The Animorphs are suspicious of a train that seems to be bringing military force into the state capitol (I think- hard to remember since I had a gap between reading the beginning and end of this book)- so they go to scout it out but have to evade the enemy who now also have morphing power and come after them as birds of prey. They manage to acquire ducks, which have much greater stamina for long-distance flying (and can travel inconspicuously in groups) and bolt for the Governor\\’s mansion, determined to let someone high-up know about the aliens and finally get support. As cockroaches they cling underneath a limo that\\’s taking the Governor to a function, and then morph back to human in front of the Governor and her spouse once they are in a private room. The Governor is a woman, which takes a lot of them by surprise. Not<\/i> surprising, some of the people around them are Controllers- including one of the Governor\\’s guards- so after the shock of showing themselves and quickly explaining to the Governor, there\\’s a hectic crazy battle that turns into an insane car chase for the rest of the book- them trying to keep this new ally in leadership position, out of the aliens\\’ hands. Includes a yacht of partygoers getting blown up and a bridge collapsing. I kind of blanked out for most of it. A lot did not make sense, or just plain bored me, sigh. Probably didn\\’t help that I felt fatigued and had a headache while reading, blah.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Note: Yesterday our power was out for most of the day, but I tried turning on the e-reader, and it worked perfectly fine. For one day. I was able to finish this book and read 8% of #52. This morning my e-reader turns on, but the screen freezes up again. Well, if it suddenly works again one day, I\\’ll try to finish another of these books in a single sitting. I know that\\’s doable.<\/div>\n
