Customer Reviews

After reading the first two books in the Hunger Game series (and waiting impatiently for Mockinjay), I decided to try Suzanne Collins' Gregor books. I LOVED this series! I had to make myself stop reading so I could get some sleep for work the next day. The characters were well-developed and the story was a wonderful fantasy. Both of my daughters in their twenties devoured these books too. I have come to the conclusion that books with young protagonists are classified as young adult, even though they are enjoyed by all ages. Don't hesitate to buy this series!

This 5 book series reminds me very much of Rick Riordan's Percy and the Olympians series. Both are 5 book series created around an 11 year old boy. In both series each boy must face a series of "prophecies" or "quests" with his friends that appear in each book. The Underland Chronicles may be a bit more scary/exciting than the Olympians, but suitable for middle school kids 0just find. The Underland Chronicles is really fun for all ages, it's being passed around my family and co-workers now. It seems to me that it is for a slightly younger crowd than Suzanne Collins excellent trilogy "The Hunger Games". (I have book 3 on pre-order now) The Underland Chronicles is truly an excellent Adventure for all readers.
