The City of Ember was a great book, it was very suspenseful. I loved how it was like a race against time. The characters Line and Doon had the perfect attitude. I loved the fact that on job day Lina switched with Doon. Then Doon gave a little of foreshadowing of why the generator wasn't working. I read this book a while ago, and I'm hoping I forget what happens. So then when I read it again it will be just as suspenseful as it was the first time

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by yazzy d
This was an awsome book!!!!
This book was great! It kept me on my toes, always making me want to read more and more. By reading this book you will fall in love with the main characters, Lina and Doon. I give this book a big thumbs up!!!

stunning
One of the greatest books I have read in a long time. The characters are very well captured and the detail is amazing. 2 thumbs up

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by kailey
Amazing!
This book is very good. It grabs your attention from the start and keeps it till the end. It always leaves you lots of questions and in the next chapter you get answers (most of the time). I would recommend this book to people who want a good read. I could not put this book down once I started reading it. Amazing!
