    i love this book! you will too

    After my kids read this book, i decided to read it also. The people of sparks is a great book with adveture and mystery- of wanting to read the first book "the city of ember"-. I read this book in 2 hours, just because im a fast reader and also because it is so interesting, i didnt want to put the book down!

    Venturing into the sunlight....

    This is the sequel to "The City of Ember". It is an interesting story of what it could be like after a whole world war. It shows 2 brave, young, people can be heroes in their own special ways. It also shows how only 2 people can cause a war but it takes only one to stop it. Very well written.

    • My highlights are:
    • Positive messages
    • Good role models

    Morally great too.

    I think it had a very good message for everyone and we should all read it and know that we should be like Lina and Doon.

    Sequel to City of Ember

    I found this book rather boring. It's way too easy to guess what's going to happen, the plot moves too slowly, and the dialogue sounds fake. It takes alot of talent to make dialogue sound real, and the author does not have that talent, apparently.

    This book is amazing!!!!

    I think that the people of sparks was an amazing book, the clash between the sparks and the embers, each had their special talents, it tied in perfectley with The City Of Ember. It also teaches us not to lose our cool. I would totally recommend it to anyone.

    Good...But dissappointment

    I like the book but, it was not nowhere near as good as the city of ember. Yes, it's worth reading but, i was really disappointed that nothing happened at the end like the last book. You have to read the city of ember before you read this book though! it would make a lot more sense. I think it would have been better if it were a cliff hanger to make us want to read the next book.

    Awsome. I did it for my book report :)

    I read The city of Ember in grade five or six. I read the people of Sparks in grade 7 (I am now) and I cant wait to read the third one! (There is a third one. I dunno if its out...) Great to do character studies on. :) The summary in my own words is kinda hard because theres so much going on, its so awsome and I couldnt say it all because it was only 300 words max! But it was a good book in all!

    A Must Read For Young Teens!

    I read "The City Of Ember" when I was in grade seven, and when I was in grade eight I read the sequel "The People Of Sparks." I loved both of the books, and I couldn't put the book down! It shows how fast conflict can escalate, and how the easy way of doing things isn't right. This book is also Science-Fiction, so it has that bit of fantasy without being somewhere off in space. The people of Ember emerge from their underground city, and find the small village of Sparks. The people of Ember are overwhelmed with the new things on the surface, but when tension rises between the two groups of people, this new world on the surface isn't as lovely as they thought.
