Now he's one of them...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Jake and the other Animorphs discover that the Yeerks plan to invade plenty of humans against their will at the town's hospital. To make things worse, the Yeerks want to invade the state's governor who is planning to run for president! When the Animorphs take a trip to the town's hospital to do some invesitgating, they stumble onto a Yeerk pool...and Jake accidentaley falls into the Yeerk pool.Now, Jake has a Yeerk in his head and there's nothing he can do about it. The Yeerk knows all his secrets (including the names of the Animorphs) and Jake isn't able to tell his friends anything. Fortunately, the others have figured out Jake's been invaded, and they have a plan to destroy the Yeerk. Unless the Yeerk figures out a way to destroy them all first...THE CAPTURE is an excellent novel. The beginning started out as one of your average Animorphs books, but then the middle was where the things got intense. It really had me page-turning, and I could've sworn that it would be the end for Jake. The very ending of this book might make you a little sad, but it's something to expect in a book by K.A. Applegate. All in all, this is a very good book to keep you entertained for a while
The best!!!

I think this is the best Animorphs book, and I have read almost all of them. It could be because Jake is my favorite character, but I don't think so. You have to read it!!!!

This is the familiar phrase used by controllers in their internal battle with the Yeerks. All along we have seen the controllers, the Yeerks, as the bad guys. But now one of our hero's, and the leader of the Animorphs, _is_ a controller. This book gives us a feel and a deeper perception of what the actual host is going through. Set in the first person, you experiance firsthand the struggle of the host agains the parasite. And you begin to see that there is more than two sides to this battle. Because whenever the animorphs kill a controller, they are also killing an innocent being, a pawn in this intergallactic war. Will the animorphs be able to save our hero Jake? Or will he get back to Visser Three and tell all. Oh the suspense...

In this book the Animorphs learn that their local govener is going to a hospital to have a minor surgeory. The yeerks happen to run this hospital. When the Animorphs try to destroy the portible Yeerk pool, Jake becomes a controller and the animorphs have to keep the Yeerk contained for three days so it would die without Kandrona Rays. Very fast paced and emotional, a must read for any animorph fan!!:)
Jake, Animorph, is controlled by a Yeerk!

I really enjoyed it. I was reading it on the bus,and thought I was Jake with a yeerk in my head. It has some laughs, about 90% from Marco. It also has suspense, danger, and some new morphs. what is special about Animorphs books is that the characters can turn into (morph) any animal they touch. They use this ability that they got from Andalites (good guys), to fight Yeerks, evil slugs that go inside intelligent species, Hork-Bajir, Taxxons Etc. and take over the body. Best book ever!!!
