YMMV / Animorphs: The Experiment

• Broken Aesop:
  • The Animorphs learn how gruesome slaughterhouses are... and in the final chapter, they go out for burgers. The final chapter was written by K.A. Applegate herself, who hated what the ghostwriter had done with the book.
  • Cassie preaching about how free will is impossible to eradicate falls flat for two reasons. First, More than Mind Control exists in real life. Second, even her argument that Yeerk hosts can still think their own thoughts and feel their own emotions doesn't work, as Temrash 114 proved that Yeerks can mentally torture their hosts until they emotionally break them and the host stops fighting back or goes catatonic, and the torture happens because the host was thinking thoughts that the Yeerk disapproved of.
