The Encounter

Animorphs, Book 3

By: Katherine Applegate

Narrated by: Michael Crouch

When Tobias and his friends were given the power to morph, they were also given an important warning: Never stay in a morph for more than two hours. But Tobias broke the time limit, and now he's trapped in the body of a hawk - forever. When he discovers an important Yeerk secret, Tobias knows he has to do everything in his power to destroy it. But to do so, he'll have to contend with a part of himself that's wrestling for control. A part that isn't human.

Poor Tobias

Michael's a fine narrator as the boy in a hawk's body. The poor dude. I feel sorry for him. Glad these are coming in audio book form after many years of waiting.

Tobias's narration can get pretty extreme but I think it's most understandably so here, even as it's at its most extreme. I wish he and Ax had been as regular in the rotation of books as the other kids.

Michael Crouch might be my favorite narrator so far. Oh, man, what if he voiced the Andalite Chronicles? If it was one of the established narrators it'd have to be either him or Ax's.

what an amazing and conflicted character! i love tgis series so much and so glad its being given new life through Audible!! I hope all 63 books get made!!

Great narrator for a tough book!

I adore this series, but books #2 and #3 are not the strongest books in the start. They have really strong parts to them, but that is entirely in the character development and not the plot. The plot of this one is weak, but WOW the character development. And the narrator nails it.

Really, really looking forward to #13.

Keep em coming!

Another engaging installment in the series that takes place from the most unique perspective on the team. Really good narration, and the writer does her homework on the animals, their behavior, and how they'd interact.
