Didn’t Like It “I though the movie was much, much better. They made it move faster in the movie by adding cool things like the key to the generator that clips together, and the giant bugs, and having the characters talk like real people.

“ The City of Ember is the first "book of Ember" and will become a full length film on October 10th 2008. I have heard from a trusted advisor that books two and three are unnecessary and that the first book should be left alone as a complete story. From what I hear, she is right.

I enjoyed it more during the read than looking...”so read the book.”

And as always, we tend to forget to listen to children, when they in fact has s crystal clear hearts thats supposed tobe trusted all the time.”
