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

Everyone has been trying to keep Gregor from seeing the final prophecy, The Prophecy of Time. It says something awful: It calls for the warrior’s death. The warrior being Gregor, of course. Now, an army of rats is quickly approaching and Gregor’s mom and little sister, Boots, are still in Regalia. The entire existence of the Underland is in Gregor’s hands and time is running out. There is a code that must be cracked, a new princess to contend with Gregor’s burgeoning dark side, and a war designed to end all wars.

In this suspenseful final installment in the acclaimed Underland Chronicles, Suzanne Collins unfolds the fate of the Underland and the great warrior, Gregor the Overlander, in a manner that can only be described as masterful.

Great series

This series is great. My children enjoy listening to the series and it is interesting enough to listen to as an adult. The books hit all the markers. Suspense, mystery, comedy, drama and action. We LOVE them and have listened many times. We wish there were more books!

Nice end to the series.

I kept trying to find time to listen so I could get back into the underland. I loved the maturing of the characters in this last book of the series. I also like how the war was settled - I was surprised. I'm left feeling a little bit lost without knowing what the decision was at the very end of the book but it didn't ruin the series for me at all.

Please let there be a Book 6!!!

Where does Gregor and the Code of Claw rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

At the very top! I absolutely loved this series!

What other book might you compare Gregor and the Code of Claw to and why?

Harry Potter series since it is just as intriguing and I was not able to put the headphones down in either of them.

What about Paul Boehmer’s performance did you like?

He brought the characters to life and that is quite a feat.

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

Throughout the books when he put his sister first above everything else. Even his own safety. However I did shed a few tears with him and Aries as well as the story between Ripred and Gregor.

Any additional comments?

This series is an absolute must have for kids and adults alike! This last book was the best and left me wanting more. I would like to see how Gregor and Boots grow up in the real world after all the adventures they had in the Underland.

Loved the series but needed one or more chapters

Would you listen to Gregor and the Code of Claw again? Why?

Yes, I will probably listen to this series again. It is well written with a compelling storyline.

What other book might you compare Gregor and the Code of Claw to and why?

I would compare this series to Guardians of Ga'Hoole series by Kathryn Lasky and Septimus Heap series by Angie Sage.

What does Paul Boehmer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Great voice actor.

Any additional comments?

Unfortunately, Suzanne Collins did not end the story. It seems to me that she was prepared to write another book but never did. She left too many loose ends with all the significant and some of the secondary characters. The book would have ended much better if she went 10-20 years in the future as J.K. Rowling did with Harry Potter and Collins did with the Hunger Games series. As it stands now,Collins needs to write the actual last book for this series.

<br />Such a good book<br />

i loved it it is shuch a grate book#ripred is a beast. #love and miss losa

I'm a FAN!

Have you listened to any of Paul Boehmer’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

He did a great job on the whole series! No complaints!

Any additional comments?

I loved this series, and recently bought the print version for my 10 year old son. I'd prefer he "read" rather than "listen" at his age. But what a great story, clean, suspenseful and I grew to care for the characters.

Great Series!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This book was a nice conclusion to the Underland series. I enjoyed the entire series and look forward to sharing it with my children. Good clean adventure!

Any additional comments?

My only complaint about the book is the conclusion. It seems to be a let down that Gregor just goes home...
