Book Reviews of The People of Sparks (Ember, Book 2)
Book Review: A Great Sequal
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this just because I wanted to know why they were underground in the first place. And after finishing the book I was quite pleased. I actulately think it was better than the first one. I was afraid at first that it would just be all "ahh we just sunburned" about the emberties getting adjusted to the new world.And if you think the last one ended it did not. Where are the 400 members of Ember going to go? How are they going to find food? How can they live in a world that's already been destroyed? And they can't just go to a nearby city and live there, could they? This new book answers all those questions and is amazingly believable without any mistakes (meaning in the plot, not gramatically) and it had new characters that are believable and have personaity of their own. And many people can relate to the new characters.
It is also written very well. Much more so than the City of Ember. And she had more symbolism that wasn't as corney as painting the sky blue when the sky really was blue (no offense Jeanne if you're reading this).
So if you liked the first book you should definately go read this one. And we learned why the Emberties lived underground and what the Disastor was. And it has this one new cool thing (a picture of it on the back cover) but I wont tell you any more.
