Commentary During Books Tunnels (Tunnels #1)
14-year-old Will Burrows has little in common with his strange, dysfunctional family. In fact, the only bond he shares with his eccentric father is a passion for archaeological excavation. So when his dad mysteriously vanishes, Will is compelled to dig up the truth behind his disappearance. He unearths the unbelievable: a subterranean society that time forgot. "The Colony" has existed unchanged for a century, but it's no benign time capsule of a bygone era. Because the Colony is ruled by a merciless overclass, the Styx. Will must free his father--is he also about to ignite a revolution?

This is quite possibly one of the strangest books I've read in a long time. From the slightly creepy way Will digs, to their exploration, to the twisted version of Christianity and the Bible, it was quite odd. And yet, I couldn't put it down. This is an excellently written adventure and I can't wait to read the rest of the series.I don't remember who recommended this book to me, but I didn't really like it. It took sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long for the author to say anything. The action took so long to develop and when there finally was action, there was too much dialogue and unnecessary description that it took the reader out of the action. I was just groping my through it the whole time waiting for things to happen. I think the book had potential, but the writing was so bad I just went crazy. It's like it was
The premise of this book is interesting and its nicely illustrated with creepy ink drawings. Alas, its far too long for what it has to offer, and quite poorly written. I was put off by the way adult characters were consistently portrayed as cold, self-absorbed, and extremely flawed. There were only two adults in the entire story who were decent. Also, for those parents who might wish to know, the book abounds with smoking, drunken brawling, and kids drinking and mocking their religion. I didnt
Tunnels is a great book. It isn't like any book I have ever read! It is science fiction, but a different type of science fiction. Even if you don't like science fiction you might still enjoy this book. The reason it's different from most science fiction books is that it has old inventions, a plague, and and they eat mush, but in modern time. Overall its a great book that I enjoyed a lot, and I think you should give it a shot.
