The City Of Ember

The City Of Ember takes place in a city where the sky is always dark. The only light comes from the many streetlights around the city. After 241 years, the city begins show its age, as the many lights in the city start to flicker. The story follows Lina Mayfleet and her friend Doon Harrow as they try to save their city from disaster. At the end of the book, it is revealed that the city is actually underground. All I can say is that I enjoyed this book. and I can't wait to read the sequel. Also there is a movie coming out in October.
Bottom Line: A complex but enjoyable novel.
