Animorphs books

So I think people who grew up playing HE games are probably in the same age bracket to have read some of the Animorphs books.  I only had maybe four or five growing up, but I loved reading them.  Recently, I bought a whole buttload of them...and while I don't have a complete series, I did recently read through the whole thing thanks to a look of epub files from online.

Anyone grow up loving this series?  I love most of the books, but I really wasn't a fan of the way the series ended.  There was a TV series based on the books, but it basically crapped over everything the books stood for due to its low budget.  I think it'd make for a great, somewhat mature cartoon.

My only memory of reading Animorphs is that the line "Tobias will always be a hawk" chilled my blood. I definitely liked looking at the covers.
