Publisher's summary

Rich in suspense and brimming with adventure, the New York Times-bestselling Underland Chronicles unfold the fate of the Underland and the great warrior, Gregor. Suzanne Collins is also the author of the bestselling Hunger Games trilogy.

When Gregor falls through a grate in the laundry room of his apartment building, he hurtles into the dark Underland, where spiders, rats, and cockroaches coexist uneasily with humans. This world is on the brink of war, and Gregor's arrival is no accident. A prophecy foretells that Gregor has a role to play in the Underland's uncertain future. Gregor wants no part of it, until he realizes it's the only way to solve the mystery of his father's disappearance. Reluctantly, Gregor embarks on a dangerous adventure that will change both him and the Underland forever.

Listened to this after reading through the hunger

Not a great book but the format/writing-style works fine for an audio book.

the manly narrator's voice was kinda cringy trying to voice act the toddler/little sister of Greg.

A Series Must-Have

Would you consider the audio edition of Gregor the Overlander to be better than the print version?

I love both the audio and the print version. I listened to the series after reading the books. The audio simply enhanced my love for the Gregor series.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Even though I adore Greogor, the main character, Ripread has a special place. Despite the gruff exterior, he has a noble and kind heart.

What about Paul Boehmer’s performance did you like?

Paul Boehmer was able to capture the nuances of all of the characters, especially when Gregor becomes the temperamental tween.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I love the entire series.

Any additional comments?

Suzanne Collins seems most well known for the Hunger Game series, however, this is a must-read series for the younger readers.

Excellent Series for the Whole Family

If you could sum up Gregor the Overlander in three words, what would they be?

I loved her work with the Hunger Games and was looking for something light and new to enjoy this summer. This series has really delivered for both me (The old timer) and my young son (10 yrs old). It doesn't take too much time to get to the hook and then we couldn't get enough. Great series.
