The City of Ember by Jeanne Duprau *****
The City of Ember is a great book to toss in the trash can, no, just kidding, it is actually a great book to read. O.k. people, here's the deal, the city of Ember is growing old and is falling apart. The inhabitants are seeking ways to get out of the city, yet no one can find a way out of Ember until a girl, Lina, finds a box which may be the secret. Her younger sister chewed and ripped the paper inside the box, so some parts are missing. She and a friend, Doon, have to puzzle it out.

Oh ho, you want to throw something in the trash can, eh? I've got something you can throw in the trash can! Um...trash. Yeah. Trash.
ReplyDeleteI liked how the mystery unfolded in the book. I was not pleased with how the movie told you up front the whole mystery. Ah well, book adaptations are notoriously disappointing.
Yeah, I was not pleased either, but don't you think that in the movie the boat mechanism was pretty cool? Huh?
