City of Ember

For the last term, we have been reading a book called City of Ember. It is about two kids who live in an underground city, and the whole city has no knowledge of what is above ground. The city was created to keep mankind safe from the nuclear war that was raging above the cave. I found the book very down to earth and in-depth, however, the movie was a whole different matter. It was one of those average movies with average teenage actors with an average budget. I lost interest about halfway through, however, the book kept me hooked in the whole way. Half the book was covered in the first 20 minutes of the movie. The thing that completely ruined the movie was some sort of mutated massive star-nose mole that eats people. For all the bookworms out there, I highly recommend the book, but not the movie.
