Title: Kind of a let down.
Product review: I finished reading the first book, The City of Ember, feeling like I needed more information. So when this book was released, I quickly got it. WOW. Could a sequel be more...tiresome? The idea was nice, and like a lot of futuristic books, based in a "President-and-Friends-had-a-bomb-party-and-the-world-blew-up-setting."I've actually read many books like this. It wasn't a horrible book, but its not a favorite. But Jean Duprau illusrated the human nature well in the conflicts between the emberites and the people of sparks. The characters were well developed, which is a rare quality in books I dont like. I also was a little dissapointed because there wasn't a solid plot and I expected Lina and Doon to fall for each other. But then again, maybe Lina doesn't go for the pipe worker types.
