I think that this book was much better than the first one, which had completely useless details. This book isn't the best book I've ever read. It keeps my attention but it won't keep me from putting it down. The climax was pretty good but I thought the climax in Ember was better. It makes me curious to read the next one. I would read it again, but if you're someone who'll get bored easily by easy books then this would not be the book for you.
