BEST. FANTASY. EVER!!!
YOU HAVE TO READ THE UNDERLAND CHRONICLES!!!! They are just amazing. They have adventure, great characters, great plot, and that tiny bit of romance that makes it great. From the word 'Gregor' in the first book to the word 'name' in the last, you will be absolutely hooked. The books say 'hell' and 'hellish' a couple times, there is bad attitudes, and at least one or more gory death in each book, but it is just the best fantasy series ever! P.S. Also you should read The Hunger Games trilogy, also by Suzanne Collins. They are also great!

My View & Opinion
I have read the whole series and I would like to say it is by far the best series in boooks I have read, next to Twilight. After reading the 5th book I think it would be so COOL if Suzanne would write a 6th book because their were ALOT of UNANSWERED questions in the last book. LIke Luxa and Gregor or if Gregor will move to Virginia or what happens now since Ares DIEDDDD!!! Ughh it is so exciting..I jus hope she can find time to write another book ://

Fantastic Story
I read this series as a kid and I still sometimes reread it. I love the characters and the depth of some of the themes. It is a perfectly paced, adventurous story. The characters are really good role models especially Temp LOVE HIM! Anyway, I have read Collins' other series but this is by far the best.

Great book, don't read ending.
I loooove this series. I HATE the last book. It was bad enough Ares died, but c;mon!? Where it says 'parting them forever', made me cry like a river. I read some fanfictions, but those just aren't as good as her. We should all e-mail her at once until she is forced to write another. I am considering writing a sixth book, under Suzanne Commins, just so that it will be in the same area. I have to use my super power imagination skills to make it seem as if 'parting them forever,' was what Gregor was thinking, and that they reunited and lived happily.

Great, unusual fantasy, with a good message.
I loved these books. The author, Suzanne Collins, is really imaginative with the creatures and places. I really like fantasy, and this is a good, but unusual example of that. I think that Boots and her cockroach friends are funny. I also liked how it reminded me about how war is horrible (the main character, Gregor, is a good fighter, but he hates war).

Good book but violent!
It was almost better than The Hunger Games, which is saying a lot!

Gregor the Overlander
I think that we all can tell by the 5-star reviews that this is a great book. One of my absolute favorites. It has a very hooking plot and great characters. The main character, Gregor, fights the evil rats, but does not like fighting. The book has a war theme. There are sword fights and a couple gory descriptions of deaths. A great read overall. If you are looking for a book series to read over the summer, believe me, this is it! [NOTE: This is one of the milder books in the series. Later books talk about heavier subjects like mass murder, and the last one is almost all about war. If your kid is young when they read this, you may want to wait a little bit before they read the last three.

Great book!
It was a great book, with a positive message as Gregor cares for his little sister, and protects everyone on the trip. There is a few battles, which are a bit gory.

Great Book With Some Surprising Gore
Surpisingly gory! the plot is very cheesy but later in the series it does get much more complex... the later books have VERY gory scenes- parents read first...

Suzzane Collin's master piece
this was a very good, complex book that your child will surely enjoy. There are some gory scenes in the book, but even through all of that the Gregor, the main character, has very negative remarks about violence and searches for more peaceful ways to resolve matters. There are many scenes that will get children thinking about the problems that violence creates.
