Audience As with the last book, The City of Ember, I’m taking into account the audience this book is aimed at when making my rating. Why am I doing this now? Well, I believe I was far too harsh on the Master Magician review and far too critical, which is not what I want to do. I want to analyse and ...
I don't like this one as much as The City of Ember. It answers some questions I had from the first book, and I like that it's set in northern California. But everything is a little too spelled out for me. I also don't love that this book's epigraph is from MLK's Strength to Love seeing how this is...
6/3 - I started reading this on the train this evening because my other current book was way too big to fit in my handbag and I didn't want to have to carry it in my hands for the whole night, so I chose something more compact and this was it. I managed 31 pages before I met my friend at the train s...
This was a good story, but not as good as City of Ember. From reading the other reviews of book 4, it seems like this might be a bit of a bridge between the first adventure and the last - just to fill in some basic answers like what remains of civilization, how do people sustain themselves, how the...
A stronger and more intelligent novel than its predecessor. The issues are more concrete, less abstract ("how do we get along" instead of "how do we keep the lights of our strange underground dystopia running?") and the characters are all stronger and more developed. There are still failings, cert...
Oh my goodness, make it end.This is quite possibly the most annoying narrator in the history of time. She does voices ... a deep creepy one for the heavy older brother; a deep, not creepy one for the heavy woman; and - worst by far - a whiny, bratty voice for the little boy.Her horrible reading sty...
Kind of slow-ish at times, but still well written. Also, a very Pioneer/West feel...which is usually a bit of a turn-off for me, but that's just my weird hang up. I cared enough about the characters by this point to hang with it, anyway, and the end was enough payoff to make it worthwhile. Predictab...
I keep reading these books for younger kids and forgetting that they are supposed to be for younger kids. I kept thinking, boy, this author explains things quite a bit. But I actually liked some of the comparisons she makes, like when one of the main characters shakes the hand of someone that is som...
Lina und Doon haben es geschafft, die Bewohner von Ember zu evakuieren. Zusammen begeben sie sich auf die Suche nach Zivilisation und einem Ort um sich niederzulassen. Nach einigen Tagen Wanderung finden sie Sparks, ein Dörfchen, dass es durch harte Arbeit nach der Katastrophe, vor der die Emberiane...
Not as exciting as the first one, but it was a good continuation to the story with some interesting twists and turns. I definitely enjoyed reading it, though, as with the first, I've found it ends leaving me with more questions. I do like the ending of this one and was happy that the Emberites were ...
