Switchers

This book is a great book!Tess is a switcher and doesn't trust anyone and doesn't have any friends. She then meets Kevin, a fellow shifter, and they become friends. They travel to northern Ireland and meet Lizzie, an eccentric old switcher. she sends them on a quest to get rid of some "Krools." they travel to the antarctic and fight the krools. this book is awesome! but i was a little confused at the end. see, i've only read wild blood...i haven't read midnight's choice. in wild blood, kevin is a human but at the end of this book, he turns into a phoenix for life. I guess i gotta get midnight's choice to find out what happens...oh, bummer:)

I bought this book at first because it sounded like Animorphs, which I really like, but its nothing like Animorphs. It's very different but good in its own way. I would have to say this book is the best in the Switchers trilogy. The way Kate Thompson writes bring you into the story. The book doesn't get boring but never seems too rushed, either. The two main characters in this book are Kevin and Tess, two Switchers who have the power to 'switch' into any creature they can imagine. They are just beginning to learn how to use their powers to the full extent. The other two books in the series are Midnight's Choice ( almost as good as this one) and Wild Blood ( nowhere near.) And I know I said they're nothing like Animorphs, but anyone who has read 48-The Return and Midnight's Choice will notice some strange similarities.

This book was funny, compelling, and sad. I enjoyed this theme for I have read no other like it. It's got a semi-happy ending but it's sad enough to be realistic. I enjoyed that Kate Thompson made the animals realisticly more primitive or more advanced, and really got into the settings of where the animals lived. It was an excellent book, that should be read by all people who have ever dreamed of escaping into the magnificent world of animals.

Switchers is nothing like animorphs.So I wish people would stop comparing it to them.There are many shape - shifter books It came out long before animorphs in Ireland. It's a fabulous book and books 2(Midnights Choice) and 3(Wild blood) are just as good.It took me one day to read it.I thought the rats and Lizzie were very funny and that the climax was brilliant.

At first, I thought this was going to be a lame attempt to imitate the Animorphs series. But when I realized that, owing to the fact that I couldn't put it down, I had finished in less than a day, I decided this has a really good storyline, great characters, and imaginative desriptions. It also has real potential as a series, so keep it up Ms. Thompson.
