The Underland Chronicles Book Two: Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane Audiobook

" I'm reading this series because it's by the author of Hunger Games, and it is engaging and gripping reading. The protagonist's only supposed to be eleven years old, but except for a bit of immature emoting and anger here and there, he could be older. The book's an engaging read for anyone who likes undemanding fantasy, and although it's aimed at upper elementary, it's good enough for adolescents and adults, too. Of course, giant sentient rats, giant but not very bright cockroaches and giant talking bats that bond to their more or less human riders all play their parts in these novels. These good and bad guys are aimed at younger folk, but I enjoy the characterization and conflict, as well. "

" I love this series. Great, great characters, interesting plot twists. I listened to the first two books so far on CD and they're fantastically done! "

" I really like this serie, but imagination was all in first book. This one is more like, "Ok, i imaginated them and now im using them in a second book" "

" Maybe not quite so good as the first, but still worth reading. It had some interesting plot twists. The end drove me crazy! Make sure you have the 3rd on nearby before you finish it. "

" Great actions and characters. "

" I liked the first one so much I dashed to the library to pick up #2. Another great adventure in Underland. "

" If half stars were available I would actually rate this a 3.5. I find the Underland Chronicles interesting and enjoy Gregor's adventures. This book was good, even though I had a few issues with the characters. I felt 50 percent of the book dwelled on characters emotions and their reaction at the end of the first book. If you look pass the repetitive explainations and emotions, the book was entertaining. Clearly the issues I have with this one was not crucial because I plan on starting the third soon. "

" I think this is a great fantasy read. Love it! They need to make them into movies. "

" The part I am at is when they lose Photos Glow-Glow and Zap,they fight a lot and whine just for food. I liked this book because the bane is a baby! gregor thinks boots is dead. He found out she was not dead. he made it to christmas. :) :3 "

" We enjoyed reading this second book as much as the first. A few more "scary" parts than the first, but fun, creative humor along the way. "

" The oddest conglomeration of creatures can accomplish great things. The fantasy does seem realistic because some of our favorites die. "

" I'm addicted to Gregor! "

" This one tracked at about 2 stars for much of the book but started to really catch its stride toward the end and finished fairly strong (relatively, of course). This is still just a mediocre series but, hey, my wife bought the set so I'll probably read the next one eventually. "

" Again this author does such a great job with complex issues. You care about characters that are bats, rats and cockroaches! "

" Second book in series and keeps the story going beautifully. "

" An amazing series. A great book. "

" Fun, easy read for younger folk. Great escape. "

" I enjoyed this book too! Kept me interested in the series. "

" I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!!!!! AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! "

" Even better than the first!!! "

" The ending happened so fast. But still its beautifully written. "

" I enjoyed this book. A quick read, but I kept wanting to know what was going to happen. Plus, as with most series, I enjoyed the characters, especially Boots! "

" For me, this one was not as good as the first book, but that doesn't mean I did not enjoy it. It was a little bit more predictable, and the hint at future books was much more obvious - which is fine since it is series. "

" After reading the first of this series for my children's lit class, I wanted to find out what happened next. The author did not disappoint me. I have already checked out the third book in the series. "

" This is a fascinating journey about six heroes who sail to capture a mischievous person called the Bane. This was one of my favorites! It's very funny! "

" Suzanne Collins is an amazing writer. This book was wonderful. Read this book if you like fantasy adventure! "

" Solid second story in the series "

" A cool urban version of Alice in Wonderland. "

" I quit this book. made it to Chapter 6 and was completely uninterested in it. sending it on to my nephew to read! "

" This is a very interesting book about a world under our world. "

" I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. I loved the characters and cried when even just an insect died! I was able to get into this book to where I felt I was really in the story. Very well done, I really enjoyed it! "

" One of the best books i have ever read . The series is Great too. "

" I find this series has characters that are easier to connect to than some of her other series. Interesting setting, not the usual pretty fairy land of many stories. "

" Interesting. Not thrilling and definitely not Hunger Games but still an interesting concept and a perfect quick read.<br/> "

" This book is a awesome underground story. When "

" I am not a fan of this book... "

" very good you need the imagination to read it or else it may seem dumb but other than that it's very eventful "

" This one took me a while to get into. Audrey and I are reading for our kids book club. Once I got into it, it was really enjoyable.I am hooked and want the next one! "

" I had a hard time getting into this book. I think the writing was odd and characters weren't that engaging and the storyline wasn't my favorite, but I'll probably keep reading. "

" Great kids book. Not as great as the hunger games, more tame. However, that's probably a good thing for kids. "

" Great middle reader book for kids that deals with themes found in The Hunger Games, but on a younger level of course. "
