Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane #2

As I finish this book, I am amazed. Suzanne Collins has astonished me with her writing once again. I, however, enjoyed the first book in Gergor the Overlander series. In the second book, Gregor experiences new challenges. He and his sister Boots have to kill the grest bane before the rest kills Boots.

In the last part of the book, Greogr experiences something a 13 year old boy really shouldn't have to experience. The rat he has to kill, is just a baby and he can't bring himself to kill a baby. His check rides on the life of his baby sister. If he kills the rat, he kills a baby, but if he doesn't kill the rat, it will kill his baby sister. Gregor can't let his sister die, making this challenge more difficult than the others.

As I mentioned in other posts about the Gregor series, I metioned Collins' unique style of writing. She uses very unique syntax. She uses an abudent amount of commas, diction, and her sentence structure is a different style. In a way, she writes like Willam Shakespeare, with her writing backwards with unique word structure.

This was overall a great book. I would recommend the series to anyone who wants to try to read fantasy. I believe Susanne Collins will hook you into the book, and want you to read more.

Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane

I started the second book in the Gregor the Overlander series, Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane. This book has introduced me to new characters as well as past characters from the first book. So far, Gregor has fallen into the under ground again. He now has a new quest and this one includes him killing a giant rat. The other rats are after his little sister, Boots, trying to kill her. Gregor's new quest has him face new challenges and hardships, trying to complete it without his sister dying.

Suzanne Collins is a very interesting author. She includes different styles of writing in all of her novels. Each novel/story she writes includes and different style of writing. In this book, she writes in third person. She also uses commas and great diction in her writings. Collins includes detailed images in the Prophecy of Bane. Images that become engraved in your mind about what the under land is like.

I hope that this book is as good as the last one. I hope it is better. I hope I continue to read this book at a fast pace so I an read the next book in the series. I hope Gregor achieves his goal and returns to his home safe and sound.
