This book was a really good Science Fiction book! It was so cool how the main characters lived and where they lived. The whole series is really good!

I like city of ember it was a great book. it had adventure. Lina is the main character in the book their city is falling apart but they live under the world but they don't know it. read the city of ember to find out what happens. I cant wait to read the rest of the series
It is a really intriguing story on how we should spend our resources for many generations ahead, so they can have a comfortable life as their ancestors. It all starts Underground, where the city is located. But lights are flickering, food is scarce, or expensive, and there is almost no fuel or gasoline. The city of Ember is beginning to topple, and one young boy and girl, Doon and Lina, decides to take the matter into their hands. But when they find a message while digging through Doon's grandma's closet, it is a message left behind by the 4 Builders, who built the city. I won't tell the end, but I can tell you one thing, what a FANTASTIC BOOK!!
