The City of Ember Review Part II

This is the last little bit of the book review I was doing...unfortunately, the internet shut off before I could finish my post. I'm lucky that the last post, however incomplete, even got posted.

*Ahem...* Somehow Jeanne DuPrau manages to make every supporting, every background, every one-time character have a very distinct, very unique personality. Somehow, every single supporting character feels like the main character, too. And it makes it a very fun read when

***SPOILERS***

#1 Everyone from Ember arrives on the surface as Lina and Doon watch

and

#2 When Lina, Doon, Clary, Mrs. Murdo, Miss Thorn, the Hoover sisters, and everyone else runs to put out the fire.

Spoilers are all gone now :)

and it makes the entire book feel very real and three dimensional. There is never a boring part, and everything feels unified and sensational. That is all. Go read it. Now.
