by Paul Boehmer, Suzanne Collins
I'm not really sure how I feel about this book. It was compelling, and I really did enjoy it, but so much of it was dedicated to foreshadowing Gregor's death that it was weird that he survived. It almost felt as though we'd been cheated because the promise given through foreshadowing wasn't delivere...
A really fantastic finish to a great series. Not gonna lie, I wept a little during Code of Claw. Best of Young Reader fiction--enough depth to satisfy an adult reader (me! I am complex!), and simple enough to follow the story and get totally lost in the excitement. As one would expect from the au...
There must be a lot of Suzanne Collins fans out there reviewing with their hearts, because there's no way the books I just read deserve the glowing reviews they are receiving. There plot holes are SO big...The dialogue is SO dry...The conflict resolution is SO lazy...I can't even see the 10-year-ol...
The best book was saved until last in this Underland series. Gregor, family and friends are at war with the rats, and it is up to Gregor to take down their leader. Many lives are lost including some favourites...I enjoyed the complexity of the final novel. Collins knows how to engage the reader in t...
The Underland Chronicles were an excellent series! Better than The Hunger Games.

It also doesn’t feel like she’s avoiding death and other big issues to make it easier on the kids.-The characters have become re...
Is this really the last book in the Underland Chronicles?? NOOOOOOO... Reviews for (hopefully) each book to come after I've gathered my thoughts.
As a whole, I've enjoyed The Underland Chronicles. However, I do find myself a little disappointed that almost every series or trilogy ends with a grand war. Or more specifically, a last book where a single war takes up the entire plot. Yes, it does make for compelling reading and I was engaged t...
Wowza! What a series!
I read this series in such quick succession that it makes sense to review them as a group. This is an easy to read, enjoyable series for middle readers. There are strong and somewhat gender-bent male and female protagonists (girls who fight and boys who nurture, for example). As would later be the c...
