Setting

The setting of the book seemed to me like some futuristic world which was in decay and like how rock falls and water flow made a sense like some kind of underground mine where people lived for decades. It was like searching for treasures underneath Earth surface but it was the opposite searching for the treasure way above the Earth.

Way Of Thinking

The the novel changed my way of thinking in the way we take our daily life for granted. Maybe one day the novel City Of Ember could be possible reality for human man kind. The book really touched me in a way, that people shouldn't give up and constanly have courage to what you really believe is right not listening to what other think or say.
Self-fish ones will end up bad and rot within the Earth and surface those with faith will survive for pretty long time. Reading this boo9k really cheered me up in some certain not wanting to sound corny and all.

Ending Of the CIty of Ember (SPOILER ALERT =])

After escaping the city with Loris Harrow's (Doon's father) machine they reached the the end and with all the sign of cautions and look out for your kids.
The ending of the City of Ember was indeed very satisfying, with hope of light they reached the suface of the Earth and found that the world up ahead also had no light, suddenly after after a long hard sleep in the wilderness of the Earth's surface they saw sun rising and there it was the light they have always dreamed to and the blue sky which delighted the three children ever so much.
The thing that I was still curious about is that what happen to the people still in the city what they would do to get them out was the question I was thinking in my head as I reached the end. Definitely a worth while book to read for all ages.
