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.

The Thief Lord

The Thief Lord is set in Venice and is about a group of runaway kids who steal things and sell them for money. Prosper and Bo had run from their aunt and uncle and met this group of kids. They are almost a family. The head of the family would have to be Scipio AKA the Thief Lord. He does most of the stealing. A greedy shopowner decides to have them steal something for a client and they accept the job. The item turns out to be a missing part from a magical merry-go-round which can turn kids into grown-ups and grown-ups into kids. Scipio and the shopowner tried it out but they break it and have to live with their changes. One chapter can be about one characters work, the next can be about anothers. I personally think that is a good thing. The characters are well defined, it has a good plot with just a touch of magic added to extra flair.
345 pages. My rating: 9.

Lego Star Wars 2: The Original Trilogy (DS)

This is a very good game. My favorite character that I have so far is Darth Vader. The game is good because you get to go to all the places in the movie. You also get to customize your own characters like you can give him new clothes, new heads and weapons. You can also battle your friends in the Bounty hunter Battle Arena. The game is based on the original Star Wars movies. Chewbacca can rip other peoples arms out.
Bottom Line: I found this game very enjoyable. Grade: B+
