Ratings and reviews

Omg I finished reading all of the books and it was really awesome I love it, come on I did not like it because I thought it was about a normal boy that talks about his life, but infact it wasn't he meets people who have white hair and purple eyes, and man im a 12 year's old come on give the book a chance its really good,I read all the books and omg I dont want to spoil the end so u guys can read it so yeah enjoy the reading. Give it 5 stars ☆★☆★☆ PLEASE read it like vikus hes peaceful and luxa.READ IT(☆.★)

Alright, this book is just amazing. I'm not good at essay making, so I'll number it all off as to what I like. 1. The introduction into the world is interesting and hooking from the start. 2. The characters grow to be quite loved. 3. Imagery is perfect, I can imagine what's going on really well. 4. There were some scenes where the chapter ends with mega suspense, basically making me to want to read everything. There was only one con, and it was that I for some reason found myself getting annoyed with Boots a lot. That's not the author's fault, maybe I just don't enjoy babies but I don't know.

This series is the best series ever. I was first bored because i thought this book would be like every other book but after a while. I couldnt stop reading. I could relate to gregor in some ways and how he feels. i feel like gregor could be like me if he existed. Also. I normally dont read.... But i finished the entire series within a couple of days (4) i recommend it
