I started reading this book and it's amazing! It is so interesting to read about a book where there's no light-only power from bulbs.
I loved the detail in this fabulist book! If you like mysteries you will love this book!
This book is about an underground city that is almost out of power and some people try to escape they enter darkness and have nowhere to go.Will they ever get to the real world.
Dystopia at its best. These kids must at least TRY to get out of Ember before the food and power completely run out. But how to get out of a city that is heavily guarded when you don't quite know where you're going, and your baby sister has torn up the directions for getting outta there!
Good book! two thumbs up!
cool book

I did this book for a book club and it was amazing. Me and my friend read the whole series in a week because it was so good. It has social issues, great writing and amazing story lines. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys science fiction or fantasy.
