After reading the Chronicles of Narnia I, I wanted to read an English book related to programmers, and I didn't want to find too much professional programming books and read the previous book, and forgot the Zen and the Art of motorcycle maintenance. This book is recommended by a master programmer. I am also very strange, why the programmer's recommendation book also has a book about motorcycle maintenance, to the watercress to see the book's comments, the original Chinese name "Wanli Ninchan", said inside about the search for a motorcycle bug and find the program bug is the same, try to read a few chapters, reached 10% when completely gave up , said he likes to ride motorcycle travel, prepare related items, but also to learn to maintain his car and maintenance, saw a period of real interest, decisively gave up the book.

Weekend with the children to buy books, see she bought a "low-light City", look at the end of the book, the plot is quite attractive, went to find the book of the English original "the Ember."

The book says the end of the world, scientists built a city in the underground, according to 200 years of life design, Escape guide in a small box by the mayor of the generation, but the small box transfer process errors. More than 200 years later, in the underground city of the descendants of the world is a dark, only the square and home only a faint light, the serious aging of the city at any time will power off, into a dark, two 12-year-old children began to find the way to escape.

The book is not a small amount of words, very suitable for students to read, characters are not many, the relationship is not complex, I sorted out the figure.

There is also a map of the low-light city, but I did not find it quite clear.

After reading the book, and then to find the same name of the novel adaptation of the film to see, the film adaptation of a bit exaggerated, there are some strange equipment, the escape guide is completely different, here is a film review.

The book is a series of 4 books, find the opportunity to read the next "Spark".
