The City of Ember by Jeanna DuPrau
Blurb for the back cover:
“Pleasant”
The City of Ember assumingly takes place in the future after something horrible happened to the surface. To save mankind, a city was built underground and came with instructions on what to do when the time came to leave the city. However, over the years those instructions were lost and the people kept on living in the city and soon the surface was forgotten. Now that the city is falling apart from old age, Lina Mayfleet and Doon Harrow discover a mysterious box and a faded note that may be the answer that the city is looking for.
Originally I wanted to read The City of Ember because I saw the movie that it was based on and thought it was really good. It’s a great family film that I found to be fun. Plus it has Bill Murray. The book however feels very much like a children’s book and that’s because it is. I like Young Adult fiction as much as the next book blogger, but this book was possibly the youngest book I have ever read. Maybe I went in to it expecting it to be more advanced.
Other than that, I thought the book was pleasant and the movie was relativity faithful to the book. I would recommend the book if you are a fan of children’s fiction or if you are looking for a book to buy a younger child. I believe there are three additional books in the Ember series, but I do not think I will be reading them.
Second Opinions:
Book Dweeb
Final Haven

The first book in the series is definitely the best. The second book, The People of Sparks is almost as good, but books 3 & 4 were pretty “meh” for me.
