City of Ember Review by JN

The City of Ember is captivating book about a project on people living underground during a nuclear conflict. The experiment is a success; but to the outside world, the result is unknown. When Lina Mayfleet and Doon Harrow decipher a chewed up piece of paper, they find the title "Instructions for Egress". The door to the outside had finally been opened! I would recommend this book to practically anyone. The quality of the writing is excellent and`the storyline is easy to follow. I especially liked the creativity with characters Ms. DuPrau writes with.
