When Alex finds out he is Unwanted, he expects to die. That is the way of the people of Quill: Each year all the 13-year-olds are labeled as Wanted, Necessary, or Unwanted. Wanteds get more schooling and train to join the army. Necessaries keep the farms running. Unwanteds are set for elimination. It’s hard for Alex to leave behind his twin, Aaron, a Wanted, but he makes peace with his fate - until he discovers that instead of a “death farm”, what awaits him is a magical place called Artime.

Giant Cockroaches, Bats and Rats, Oh My!
What did you love best about Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane?
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.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Gregor was my favorite character because he would be brave but also remind you that he is still just a young teenager.
Which character – as performed by Paul Boehmer – was your favorite?
Gregor, but I loved how he performed Boots.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, I couldn't stop listening to it. I had it on while cooking, cleaning and in bed!
Any additional comments?
Can't wait to hear the next book in the series.

Very unexpected
Would you listen to Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane again? Why?
I would certainly listen to Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane again. I have to say that the first book didn't make me eager to know what would happen to Boots and Gregor, but since it was a Suzanne Collins book, I thought I might, and I don't regret it. This book is fool of twists, turns, and suspense. Now, this one made me eager to dive into the next one, and it made me cry at least 3 times.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane?
Spoiler alert: When all hope had been lost about Boots, despair took place. But the princess got brought back to the warrior.
What does Paul Boehmer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I just loved his narration of Boots. So intense and real - just how little toddlers can be.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Yes, but I cried more than I laughed.

Fantastic Book and Series
What made the experience of listening to Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane the most enjoyable?
I have enjoyed both the first and second Gregor the Overlander book with my 8.5 y/o daughter. The story is something both adults and children will enjoy. The story is captivating and moves quickly and leaves you curious for the next chapter and then book. Paul Boehmer does a fantastic job narrating.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane?
Well if I told you it would ruin the book for you.....

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.

Qualifies as a great book and fairy tale you are sad to hear it end.
Was completely pleased with the narrator and the book content.
Love this author and style of writing. This is quite different, but is a delightful change.
Never heard of Gregor or this series before, but now I am a convert. Excellent!

Defenetly no childrens book
After the first book was good, I listened to this right away and was not disappointed. The Story was even better (more depth and suspenstion) and I am looking forward to the third part. But I don't understand how this could be called a childrens book? War, fighting, dead people (or animals)....
