I went into this book simply wanting to read the first book that Suzanne Collins had written because I enjoyed the Hunger Games so much, but what I got here floored me. This was a children's book that was substantially better in my opinion to The Hunger Games because it felt more geared towards children than that particular story. I was mesmerized by Collins ability to make you care for characters that were not even human. Every single moment of this book was magical in nature. It truly became one of my favorite reads.

Collins introduces us to Gregor and then thrusts him into an entirely different world called Underland. In this Underland we find different tribes that are made up of different species, such as spinners, bats, crawlers, and such. This makes for an entertaining world and one that you feel drawn into. Each moment feels like an adventure and you want to continue reading until the happy conclusion. There are several other books in the Underland Chronicles series and I intend to read them all!
