I was surprised we didn't already have an edited entry on this - tell me what you think.

I've not read the series though I've been told about it. This is a good entry. I would be intrested to know what age group these books are aimed at. Are there fan websites you could link to?

Good work

Well, they seem to be aimed a 12-16 year-olds, but have a lesser version of the 'Harry Potter' effect, in that many older people like them as well. Another entry on this site mentions a fansite, just give me a minute to find it.

I have yet to check it out, though.

Hi Hussassan

I haven't read these books either, but am inspired to go find some now! I really enjoyed this entry. However, I do have some comments (trust me, I'm not picking on you!)

It'ld be worth putting the entry through a spell-checker. I picked up a heap of typos: too many to list here

How do they un-morph... is it the same way they morph?

Andalites pop up pretty early on, but you don't say what they are until much later... could do with a footnote to say that. Or alternatively, change the running-order round, so the characters come before the books. Hmm, not sure that would work. Just a suggestion. Ignore as you wish!

What are ?

What are ?

and are mixed up quite a lot, especially in para 5. Might be worth sticking with one or the other, not both: it kind of spoils the flow...

Is Visser Three an alien? And Erek? If so, they need to be under the Aliens section

How come the Yeerks use the Hork-Bajir for combat if the latter are so peaceful?

Then at the end it just stops! Some kind of conclusion would be good...

Good stuff

"It'ld be worth putting the entry through a spell-checker. I picked up a heap of typos: too many to list here"

OK

"How do they un-morph... is it the same way they morph?"

Yes

"What are ?"

Not quite sure where that is, I'll get back to you...

"What are ?"

People under Yeerk control.

" and are mixed up quite a lot, especially in para 5. Might be worth sticking with one or the other, not both: it kind of spoils the flow..."

OK

"Is Visser Three an alien? And Erek? If so, they need to be under the Aliens section"

They are aliens, but I put them in the character section as they appear regularly. The aliens section is mainly for races, Crayak being the exception, because he only appear twice in the whole series.

"How come the Yeerks use the Hork-Bajir for combat if the latter are so peaceful?"

I think the answer here is that they take control of the Hork-Bajir's bodies.

"Then at the end it just stops! Some kind of conclusion would be good..."

I'll see what I can do.

'Tellers' has been changed to 'Narrators.' I'll write a conclusion over the weekend.

Just let us know when you've added stuff...

Just made another update.

Hi there

I'll look at it tomorrow. I'm pooped and need my bed now

I like this. I did spot a typo though - I think you spelt 'afraid' wrong in the section on Rachel.

Also, do you think you would be able to add some links in? I know there's some entries on Harry Potter, sci-fi, and other this referenced in the entry lying around here somewhere. Is there a good website dedicated to the series that you could point us to as well?

But as I say, these are just small matters. I really do like this entry.


Geggs

I've added some links and stuff...

Hello there

I've only had time for a quickish look. I like the links and edits.

I asked the questions in post 5 because I thought the answers might improve the entry And although you answered my questions in post 6, those clarifications don't seem to have made it to the entry Are you planning to make it clearer what a controller is, or a footnote on andalites etc?


Fb

Actually, I did add a footnote as to what a Controller is, maybe you missed it...

I really liked it. It's very well researched. I think I might have seen a typo, but I can't find it now...

Bye!
Cat

My apologies Hussassan I did miss it
