My review: Honestly, not a good prequel. Only the last 3 pages makes it a prequel to The City of Ember.

Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy — 935
It was interesting, I’ll say that. I don’t really want to say anything about the story for fear of spoiling it, some say it’s depressing and others that it’s boring, I chiefly found it…frightening. It’s very good, I recommend it.
I’m continually impressed by some novel writers. They don’t, like so many who are published today, simplely write and tell a story. They create one, and they create it so intricately with so many connections between page 234 and 768, it’s all tied together so well that I am continually impressed.

The Teenage Book of Manners…Please! by Fred Hartley — 215
I wasn’t exactly impressed with this. It was interesting but nothing special and often cheesy.
