Talk:The Encounter (novel)

Trivia
Can i add to the trivia section that: The cover shows a morph that not only doesn't occur in the book but also COULDN'T occur because in this book Tobias's 'normal' form is a hawk, so he can't morph FROM human INTO hawk (not to mention that he actually can'tmorph at all at this point in the series). or something along those lines--JG ROX58.173.10.160 03:40, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Marco's bird morph
The article says that Marco's bird morph used in the book is an osprey, but (on page 149) it says "Marco and Rachel had both previously morphed bald eagles," then talks about Marco in bird morph with a "proud white head." This should be changed in the article, but should it also be mentioned as a mistake? 206.163.233.120 (talk) 07:57, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Rather than change it, this should be listed as a mistake. Marco does not have a bald eagle morph.  Ensign beedrill (talk) 02:34, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not an expert on birds, but I do know that Marco's morph is that of a red-tailed-hawk Trajanson (talk) 23:56, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

Notable Quote
This book is the origin of the popular meme “Okay, not funny ha-ha. More like funny weird”

Marco says “Okay, not funny ha-ha. More like funny weird” to Cassie. He is referring to the way they morphed into dolphins the day before and how Marco was almost eaten by a shark.

Buying a digital copy of the book and searching by text would confirm this. The book was published in August 1996.
