Gregor the Overlander -- Suzanne Collins



I read all sort of books, but I have never been a traditional sci-fi/fantasy reader.  My best friend suggested I read Collins' Gregor the Overlander shortly after it came out in 2004.  I tried and tried,but just couldn't get into the story.  When the audio-book arrived several months later, I decided to give Gregor another try.  The reader was Paul Boehmner.  I was immediately enthralled with Gregor, Boots and Ripred.  I enthusiatically devoured the second book and then I had to wait.  This was my number 1 pick for 2005!

Over the next couple years, I waited anxiously for the next book.  Admittedly, the final installment, Gregor and the Code of Claw is the only book I have stood in line at the midnight realease party for.  I was waiting at the local bookstore with fans from 9-19 waiting to see how the story ended.  Would Gregory fulfill the prophecy?  Would he leave the underland?

Take a look at the following trailer...it has everything a good books needs, rats, bats, giant cockroaches!  Enjoy!
