The City of Ember - Jeanne Duprau

Listening Library, 2004, 6 hours, 52  mins
Read by Wendy Dillon
Written 2003
Listened to March 2016, age 37


Not a fan.  I'm not sure if it was the reader or the writer, but it was a difficult story to listen to.  Slow, and yet too much tell, and not enough show - especially emotions.  And potentially, I'm getting tired of listening to stories about kids and teens.  Anyway, it didn't work for me at all.  There are apparently more of them in the series, and people seem to like them, but I won't be walking down that path.
