Book Reviews of The People of Sparks: The Second Book of Ember (Books of Ember)
Book Review: The story of Sparks
Summary: 5 Stars
The People of Sparks is a really good book. It is the sequel to City of Ember, and it is about Doon and Lina, who are trying to survive in the new (to them) village of Sparks. They endure hardships (mainly starving), teasing, and...threats. They realize after several times where they had been hurt, threatened, or their homes had been vandalized, that the Sparks people simply did not want them. Together, Doon and Lina have to save their family and friends. Again. Join them as they find bravery where they thought was nothing, and make their new home safe again.Book Review: the city of ember
Summary: 5 Stars
The best fiction book I have ever read. This is one of those "cannot be put down book". It's amazingly amazing. It's heart pounding. My 10 yo brother hates reading. But I told him to just read the introduction... and Ohhh... he was so curious to find out what happen next that he read the whole book that day... My mom was so amazed cause he never done that in his whole life. Now he is reading the part 2, People of Spark...ANd I can't wait for the prequal of city of ember that's coming in 2 days...enjoyBook Review: She did it again
Summary: 5 Stars
The City of Ember is a great book, I believe. To say Sparks is very nearly as good is to say that it is another extraordinary achievement, another completely and richly imagined world, another gripping story that'll keep you up till you've finished it, whatever age you may be. We get to know Lina and Doon better, and like them the more we know them. The story leads up to an ending that seems painfully inevitable but then, when it comes, is both unsentimental and deeply heartwarming. A terrific book.Book Review: Better than Ember
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved City of Ember, so approached this sequel warily. Obviously, the mystery of the first book has been solved, so where does the author go from there? Well, in this case, she wrote a book about the complicated choices that come "after" Happily Ever After. I loved the richness of this landscape and characters. Nothing is simple in this book, just like nothing is simple in life. The result was a reading experience that left me completely satisfied, and more than a little in awe of the author.Book Review: Wow...really....wow
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was wonderful! I personally think that, by accompanying this book with The City of Ember turned the series around (for the better). This book made the two of them (The City of Ember and The People of Sparks) more unique than what some people have been comparing The City of Ember to. (such as the Giver). It sets the series apart and makes a dynamic impact on the reader when you think about some of the topics that are burried beneath what you read at first. --This truly is a great book.
