| The people of sparks is a really good book. It has a lot of suspense. It is not as good as the city of ember, but it follows close behind. If you are looking for a suspensful, non-violent book, this book is for you. |

| I agree with the other reviewers that "The Prophet" is unlike the other books in the Ember series.
However, that doesn't mean it wasn't a good book. . . just different. I thought the story was very well written and included a lot of good moral lessons for young people. |

| For some reason my wife has gotten into a groove of reading YA (young adult) books lately, and as a result, I end up reading some almost by accident. I dipped into the first few pages of this one to vet it for her, and over the course of a few days, ended up reading the entire thing (it's a quick read, about two or three hours at most). The story is pretty simple and gentle, unlike so many "issue" YA books that appear these days, which seem to draw their inspiration from cautionary afterschool specials and then amp them up.

| Saying what this book is "about" (building a house, losing a partner, practicing Zen) really misses the point.
One of us humans has looked into the Great Matter (life-death) and said something, as clearly as she can, from the heart. I can't say what is the "best" book in the world, as another reviewer has. I would say that this is a book that is, in a sense, perfect. Of course it can be embarrassing when someone opens like a clam and shows you their guts. The Library Journal reviewer had to avert her eyes. I had the ... Read More: |
