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.
