review for The City of Ember

It was an okay book but a few things didn't really make sense, such as where they hid the city and how it was built... but the main plotline was ok.

id give it a 6/10

ill write upm a reveiw fo rthe second book in the series but rihgt now im too lazy

The Numbered ones are within the storyline of Discword directly, the ones that are not numbered are also Discworld but not part of the primary story line.

Discworld is hard to describe... it is a fantasy setting... Terry Pratchett has been called the Douglas Adams of Fantasy... he is however far more hillarious, and his stories are far more in depth than that.

Well, the Dark Tower series by Steven King is a world all its own, my favorite book being the 'Gun Slinger'.

Mix Magic and Sorcery with good old fashin gun slinging in a wildwest-ish style :p.

The Recluce Series is a fantasy world inwhich everyone is human, no other sorts of races.  Its based off of certain main characters, empowered by the natural balance of the world between Order and Chaos... There are no bad-guys or Good-guys, though you have white vs Black, Chaos vs Order... Black being Order, white being chaos... its extremely in-depth, and throughout the series you find that neither side is wrong nor right.
