City Of Ember: Book And Movie Comparison

“The City of Ember” has many similarities and differences between film however, the movie was a more entertaining experience. The two brave and strong main characters, Lina and Doon, are assigned each other’s wished jobs on assignment day. After the assembly, Lina and Doon secretly switch their jobs as the next day they go off to each other’s new jobs, Lina as a messenger and Doon as a pipeworks worker.
