I loved this book so much! It has a lot of action in it. The action is fast and exciting. There are five books in the series, and I recommend them all.

This irresistible first novel tells the story of a quiet boy who embarks on a dangerous quest in order to fulfill his destiny -- and find his father -- in a strange world beneath New York City.
When Gregor falls through a grate in the laundry room of his apartment building, he hurtles into the dark Underland, where spiders, rats, cockroaches coexist uneasily with humans. This world is on the brink of war, and Gregor's arrival is no accident. A prophecy foretells that Gregor has a role to play in the Underland's uncertain future. Gregor wants no part of it -- until he realizes it's the only way to solve the mystery of his father's disappearance. Reluctantly, Gregor embarks on a dangerous adventure that will change both him and the Underland forever.

I read this book for a school project. I had to think of a way to end my project without spoiling the book. The endings of the chapters got better and better so it was hard to decide. This book was an amazing book and I hope to read the rest of the series!

I love this book and you should read it because Gregor just found his father with the rats and poor little boots got a powerful sickness like her father.
i love this book soooooooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is the BEST BOOK ever!!! Ive read the whole eerie and I LOVE it!! there is a lot of action in it and i had a super hard time going to bed because i always said to myself, "just one more page.. just one more page" until i had read 6 chapters!
This book is one of the best books I have ever read! Suzanne Collins wrote an amazing book! In the beginning of the book, it is mystery and then the action starts soon. I can't wait for the second book!
Just started this on. Boots makes me laugh and I think I really like Vikus so far.
I really like this too! By the way I'm now looking for a new series because I finished these. Any ideas?
I read this book about a year ago and it was well written. It started with a good plot for the next books.
