mrsguin 's review for:
The City of Ember
by Jeanne DuPrau
I'm really leaning towards 3.5 stars for this novel. Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed the novel, and it was a quick, easy read. I am just not sure if I felt the writing was "stellar." I enjoyed the concept of a city built underground as a means to preserve civilization in the face of impending doom, but I am not sure if it was developed enough throughout this first installment. I know this is the first in a series, and I am hopeful that the remaining novels will answer the questions that I have; therefore, I "rounded up" my rating. I will be starting The People of Sparks tonight.
