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.

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.

A second book in a 3 book series, the people of Ember find themselves on the surface of the Earth after 247 or so years.Their city population is 417 people. They wonder around to a small town of Sparks and settle. The people there will let them stay for 6 months, teaching them all they know about growing a city. After a long time, trouble is begining in Sparks and the two peopels are about to start a war. Will they be able to stop fightiing or take on the actrs of their ansestors?

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
I absolutley love this book! But no, it should be for 10 or up because it's actually kind of hard to understand and 7 year olds probably won't be able to read and comprehend it easily. But it's a great book that has good role models for example Lina tries to break up the war, the people of Sparks take in the people of Ember, etc. It also is educational in a way, I suppose. But.. I give it.. 5 stars :)

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!

Not as good as "City of Ember," but still worth reading
"City of Ember" should definitely be read before this book, because this one starts off slow and will most likely be uninteresting to those who haven't read the prequel. The plot does get interesting, but is probably best for preteens. There is too much violence for younger kids.

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.
