Book Review of The City of Ember (Ember, Bk 1)

The City of Ember (Ember, Bk 1)
reviewed on + 90 more book reviews


An enjoyable story with two well-written tweens as the main characters. The whole series has great commentary on the danger of "us versus them" mentality and the damaging choices it can lead to. I recommend reading the sequel, "The People of Sparks" also, as the two books together make a complete story. There is also a "prequel" available and a third book which takes place after "the people of sparks."
