Well, the climax in this book was great. Compared to Jeanne's very first novel, not so much. The City of Ember kept me hanging off of my seat, and made me read until my eyes refused to stay open. The People of Sparks was good at the beginning, especially with all of the new surroundings for the Emberites, and the beginning was a very easy-to-read thing, but as it went on, it kind of dragged on. I agree with whomever said that this book got kind-of boring as it went on, because, honestly, it did. Very good novel, great ideas, right way to go, but not enough detail put into the words, because if there was enough detail and if they would have put it in a more interesting way, it wouldn't be such a difficult book to read. Pretty good, Pretty good. I'm excited to read The Prophet of Yonwood, to think about what might happen next.
