I read the entire Ember series and loved Book 1 and Book 2. Book 3 wasn't necessary in my opinion, except for the very last chapter... Book 4 was good as well. Overall I enjoyed the series, even more then the movie!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11977035373522579831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-42427765662494102562009-02-10T11:37:00.000-05:002009-02-10T11:37:00.000-05:00anovelmenagerie - thanks, I added it to the list!L...anovelmenagerie - thanks, I added it to the list!<BR/><BR/>Lenore & Suey - I guess I'll have to read it myself to find out. :)<BR/><BR/>literary feline - be sure to let me know what you think of it if you do watch it.<BR/><BR/>chartroose - sounds good, I'll get my post up soon.

I don't recall the ending exactly either, but I think what Kerry and Alyce said sounds right about having to go into a cave or something.

I liked the first book better than the second, but they were both good.<BR/><BR/>I remember the scene at the end, and I think they do say something about why the people of ember can't see them or the crack. I think it's because they go inside a cave (I think?) a little way before finding the crack, so it's dark.Alycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919057159829023714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-23906853595646614372009-02-09T15:29:00.000-05:002009-02-09T15:29:00.000-05:00As I recall, for the scene at the end, they don't ...As I recall, for the scene at the end, they don't just look straight down, but have to walk from the entrance at bit, so the sun may not penetrate.

BUT, they do look down and see the city, and throw a rock with a note attached. I never wondered about the sun showing to the people of Ember. Except they were up VERY high and I imagined the crack to be VERY small. <BR/><BR/>The books are fun and very worth it.
