Summary
Rich in suspense and brimming with adventure, the New York Times-bestselling Underland Chronicles unfold the fate of the Underland and the great warrior, Gregor. Suzanne Collins is also the author of the bestselling Hunger Games trilogy.
After being recommended the Hunger Games trilogy and finishing it quickly, I decided to dive into this older series. Collins' writing has a raw quality to it, but her distinctive style shines through. I found myself completely engrossed in this book and the narrator did a fantastic job, showing great affection for all the characters, particularly the toddler. The story itself was captivating, and I'm glad I used my first credit on it. Unfortunately, I'll have to wait another three weeks to get a credit for the second installment.
I've been reading this book out loud, complete with different voices, to my students for the past 5 years and they absolutely adore it. At one point, when my voice was strained, I decided to switch to the audiobook for a few chapters. However, I found the narrator's choice of pausing to be quite odd, and it seemed like they hadn't been around a two-year-old before because whenever I mimicked the narration by saying "temp....ticka....dinna....," my students would cringe. I really hope they release a new recording of this book soon because it's not fair to children to have someone who doesn't understand them narrating the child voices.
I suppose I have a soft spot for children's books. The best part is, I never have to fret about encountering any explicit language. It's a breeze to listen to while working out at the gym, and it really helps pass the time quickly.
