Book Reviews of The City of Ember (Books of Ember)
Book Review: A "The Giver' Fan
Summary: 3 Stars
I am a fan of the book "The Giver" by Lois Lowry, and the two books that come after it, "Gathering Blue", and "The Messenger". They are all set in societies in the future, much like the City of Ember, and I was told I would like this series as well.
I didn't like it nearly as much, and here is why: They seemed contrived, and less creative. The baby in the story was not baby-like, it was the baby from a series of unfortunate events. It didn't act like a REAL baby. All of the adults, other than the gardener, were careless and ignorant. The story itself had flow, but the characters and the actions they took irritated me.
Another futuristic book that I liked was "The Hunger Games". This was entertaining, but it wasn't something I would recommend buying. In fact, I returned my copies.
