sarahareinhard 's review for:
The City of Ember
by Jeanne DuPrau
My nine-year-old checked this out from the library, and I found myself with no reason not to read it (and her request to read it as a big impetus). I found it rather predictable and a bit lacking, but still enjoyable. The characters are...okay. I didn't particularly like or dislike them, which left me a bit disappointed.
A few years ago, one of my nieces had this as required reading, and part of me can understand why. There are some themes within it that bear discussion. I'm curious what my nine-year-old will have to say about it when she's read it.
