You can read all five books of Gregor the Overlander straight. That is what I did. They are that good and I recommend getting the series so you don't have to spend the time finding and buying each book.
Gregor was 11 years old when he dropped into the Underland from his laundry room in New York City. He had followed his irrepressible, outgoing, little sister Boots, when she wandered into the entrance to the Underland through a loose panel on the wall. For about a year, he had made numerous trips into the Underland, having adventures that are as creative and imaginative as any I have read, involving bats, cockroaches, rats, mice, ants, fireflies, snakes, lizards, and of course human underlanders with violet eyes, including one who took his heart.
The children ranged from 2 to 13, running the entire gamut of personalities that children can have, from charismatic to repressed, giggly to dead serious, and from smart to wise. The adults and their relationships were likewise diverse and complex.
This is not only a children's book but one that is thought provoking for adults. It has poetry, riddles, rhymes, and prophecies. The plot ties together very satisfactorily at the end.
It has heart stopping suspense and a plot that gallops away. It has an adult vocabulary but Gregor and the other characters demand definitions of words they cannot understand from the adults who use the words, a nifty literary device.
Suzanne Collins has great insight into children and their behavior, as well as parents. Unless it is done as a cartoon, it is difficult to imagine how they will find the actors to portray Boots the 2 year old, the bats, the cockroaches, the rats, the mice, the spiders, and the myriad of other creatures that play such critical roles in the books. Any attempt to depict the characters will restrict what readers will have imagined each creature to look like.
In the end, a movie will not be good for the book. On the other hand, an audio version of the book would work. In my opinion, Suzanne Collins is simply the best writer of children books today. Unlike J. From the beginning to end, there is a continuity in the Gregor series that results from the prophesies given at the beginning of each book but also in children songs sung by Boots and other children in the books.
At the same time, the book leaves a lot to the reader's imagination. I am pretty sure that any imagery provided in a movie will be poorer than those created from the words of this book.
In the end, this book is a clear example of why books are better than movies because they engage the imagination of the reader more. He makes allies and enemies, looses mentors, and falls in love. As a reader: Despite following the formula of such series, Gregor the Overlander is a creative and entertaining set of books for young readers. I found it took a while to connect with the main protagonist, Gregor. He seemed flat and a bit void of the emotional responses readers would expect from a character undergoing the trials he was facing.
But as the first book reaches its climax, Gregor begins to sound like the eleven-year-old boy he is. The plots of these books also improve as the series progresses. I enjoyed the first two books of the series from the viewpoint of a gregor the overlander book 1 pdf download, but felt, gregor the overlander book 1 pdf download, unlike Collins' newer series, they lacked the more adult themes that gave the Hunger Games a wider appeal.
In the final books gregor the overlander book 1 pdf download the Overlander series, though, Collins definitely addresses the universal themes of oppression, racism, and leadership--all through characters made up of rats, bats, fireflies, and the occasional human.
This is a series both parents and children will enjoy! As a writer: While it took me a awhile to see Gregor as a rounded character, it took me surprisingly little time to picture the world into which he fell. Collins' is a master world builder. Within the first chapters readers will find themselves not only able to picture gregor the overlander book 1 pdf download giant cockroaches that gregor the overlander book 1 pdf download up one set of characters, but will also fall in love with them for their backwards speech patterns and loving nature.
I also admired Collins' ability to develop the character of Boots. It is extremely hard to make a toddler both realistic and interesting to an older audience.
Boots could have become an annoying or flat character hindering middle grade readers enjoyment of the story, but in Collins' hands she becomes a lovable and rather round little tyke. Bottom line: At the middle school where I teach, I ran the summer reading group for book one in this series. Of the nearly forty students who read it, three-quarters chose to read the rest of the series--over their summer vacations, without their parents forcing them.
I think that says more than anything I could put in a review! The story is definitely structured for young minds so I could foresee a lot of what would happen. But I read the entire series before bed each night till I finished and I enjoyed it I read children's books and stories all the time.
In fact, the last book hints that there might be more to come. I was a little disappointed to learn that, so far, this has not happened. But I appreciate that the author left room for that should she decide to resume the series in the future. One person found this helpful. See all reviews from the United States. Top international reviews. This is great writing! It flows beautifully, the movement of the story is constant and keeps you on your toes; This is a children's book that you can't put down and I can't wait for my grand-daughter to be old enough to read it.
This download is the collection of the 5 books and it is lovely not to have to finish one book then go download the next. A thank you to Suzanne Collins for appreciating that children are not the brainless and self centred puppets described in so many modern books. Thank you for your feedback. Sorry, we failed to record your vote. Please try again. I have recently read the hunger games books and was having withdrawal symptoms.
I wanted to find something equally as good, gregor the overlander book 1 pdf download. I googled the subject and many people suggested the Overlander books. It is by the same author which gave me hope that the books would make a great read. When I first started reading them I thought 6 ft rats, huge flying bats, huge mice??? These books are written for the younger reader. However, I am 45 and bought all 5 on my kindle 2 weeks ago.
Gregor the overlander book 1 pdf download am now on my 4th book and I love them, gregor the overlander book 1 pdf download. Obviously they are totally different to the Hunger Games but they are full of surprises and they are definitely holding my interest. I would definitely recommend them. Give them a chance as at first I thought what the hell have I bought here. Thoroughly enjoying my read. As a 40yr old, I would never have read a children's book, had it not been written by the brilliant Suzanne Collins and boy would I gave missed out.
This has moralistic undertones whilst being the most magical, fantastical story. Contains scary beasts and scenes if war so not for young children who scare easily. I never did though and the 8 yr old me would have loved this book as much as the 40 gregor the overlander book 1 pdf download old me. It's such a page turner it was over all too fast. I adored every syllable, gregor the overlander book 1 pdf download.
