Now Gregor’s quest reunites him with his bat, Ares, the rebellious princess Luxa, and new allies and sends them through the dangerous and deadly Waterway in search of the Bane. Then Gregor must face the possibility of his greatest loss yet, and make life and death choices that will determine the future of the Underland.

Giant Cockroaches, Bats and Rats, Oh My!

As the second book in this series the reader doesn't get bogged down with info from the first book but enough to follow the story. I love the fantasy land of the Underworld and Gregor's relationship with those who live there.

Gregor, but I loved how he performed Boots.

Very interesting and never boring!

I loved the story. The narrator did very good work the different voices for the different characters, like the roaches and bats. This book does have disturbing moments, but it has action in every moment and never gets boring.

A Great set of Books.

Any additional comments?

nice that the theme is NOT violence is the answer

Love Gregory the Overlander

Great continuation. Not just a simple story. There is adventure but also reflection and courage. Hope this series is made into a movie.

Another Great Story

I loved the 2nd book in the Gregor series, so much so ... I listened to it again! The perfect adventure! The perfect escape from this world.we know, even if not by choice. ...mixed with the complexity of loving being away, but missing those who care. I think it is great for any age, especially those who like things to end well.
