Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane (The Underland Chronicles, #2)

by Suzanne Collins

Spies have reported the sighting of a Rat King in the Underland,
a character who has been legendary since the Middle Ages. Recognizable
by its tremendous size and snow-white coat, the Rat King is
destined to bring a World War to the Underland. Gregor eventually
comes face to face with the Rat King, and to his surprise, he finds
he is unable to kill this creature. Gregor's heart tells him
he's making the right decision. Will it be a decision he lives to
regret?

Another charming story with good development. Great to "see" Gregor and his family again. Looking forward to the rest of the series!

First off, I'd just like to say that I enjoyed this book much more than the first!

Despite the numerous literary cliches (even in dramatic parts) and some shaky writing, this book was very gripping. It was hard to put it down; definitely a page-turner. It also succeeds by making me want to read the next installment, which I plan to do very soon.

This second book in the series had so much action.
This is the kind of Suzanne Collins book I love reading.
Talk about a fast read; I read this one in about a day.
Since there are 6 books in the series. I hope that the
rest of the books are as good as this 2nd book. It really helps that we know the characters now. Both of my kids are asking to start reading the series.
