This book is sure to keep the reader's attention with it's intriguing plot and memorable characters, and is a book the reader will remember.

I am a 43 year old mother of three adult children and I decided to read this book after finishing The Hunger Games series. While this book is geared toward a little younger audience, I loved reading every page. It's fun that the reader is easily able to follow the growth of each character and eventually realize why they are important to the story. I will definitely be reading the rest of the series.

I loved this book. It has a story I couldn't put down.

When i first saw the cover of this book it looked like this book would be wierd, but i read the book anyway because i had to so i could win a award for school. the minute i started reading the book i couldnt stop, because it was so good! I have read every book in this series. I hope that they make anpther sequel to this book!

I loved the whole series! It has a hard start but when you get in to it you will most likly love it! I would read for a 3erd time. If you like hunger games you will moat likely love this book. Highly recomed for 10-14 kids and adults to. If you like fantisy you will probley love this to i know sci-fi lovers who love this series! 5 stars!

I read, so far, the first three books. Amazing!! I have to say, this is the best author EVER!!! It's absolutely great! Suzanne Collins is my favorite author, no doubt! 5/5 stars! I was a little skeptical about this book at first... the cover wasn't very appealing. But, I decided, since Suzanne Collins made the awesome Hunger Games, to give it a try. Guys and girls, DO NOT JUDGE A BOOK BY IT'S COVER! NEVER! I love this series so far, and I'll most likely end up reading it a second time this summer, along with The Hunger Games. They are both AMAZING series. I just love it. 5/5 star rating. --RECOMMEND!--

I wanted to read this because I loved the Hunger Games series, and while I did like this book, as an adult, I think I could not appreciate it the way a child might. But, if I had a 10 year old boy, I would buy it for them.

This was a great series. After reading The Hunger Games I wanted more and this series definitely did not disappoint.

I dont know what those people who put 1 star are thinking. So let me tell you, those people are flat out WRONG. Gregor has a good plot, easy to read, and has a character we can all relate to. I would highly recommemd this book. I believe it is up to par with the Hunger Games.

This book is amazing. Period. Sorry if you dont like it but dont say its bad. Some people say it wasnt as good as the hunger games but i personally didnt like the hunger game as much as this. The plot twists are perfect, the languague is descriptive, the word choices are

HELLO READ THIS!!! READ IT PLEASE!Well you see i have been craving the hunger game series. As i was saving up money for the third book i needed something to read. I was looking at other books suzanne wrote and i stepped upon the gregor series. It looked kind of kiddish. (And i am a kid.) Im 11. Well i needed something to read and i heard 6th graaders liked this book. So i pick it up and start reading. SO FAR ITS AMAZING!!!! Its a good book.

So good. Wonderful story.

OMG I am SIXTEEN and I LOVED IT!! LOVED the Hunger Games too... but I liked this one better :) Read the whole series trust me it's worth it ;)

I thought that it was a good book that realy left u thinking what is the next thing that will happen so get the book it was realy good

At 11, Gregor’s life seems to have hit bottom. His 7-year-old sister Lizzie gets to go to summer camp while he has to stay home with his grandma who is battling Alzheimer’s and his 2-year-old sister Boots so his mom can go to work. His dad disappeared. Gregor didn’t think he could feel any lower until he and Boots get sucked into Underland. This he hit rock bottom. They discover a world where humans exist normal size but bugs and rodents are giant and can talk. At first Gregor seems stuck in this hidden world, until he learns of a prophecy and the hope this his dad might also be stuck in Underland. This is a great page turner that I would recommend to upper elementary to middle grade.

Why is hunger gamees so popular gregor the overlander shold be a movie!

Well worth the money. I would give it (**********************************************************************************************************************************************************)this many stars

This book is one of my all time favorites! I can literally read it over and over again!
