Not at all what I expected, this book suprised me with the tremendously detailed world it creates. The extremely evil bad guy is not who you think it's going to be and you'll shocked when he/she is unmasked. An exciting, thrilling, claustrophic adventure suitable for children and adults alike.
Tunnels is a good read. A bit drawed out at times. A real cliffhanger, making you want to read the next one. The characers all well thought out and make you rout for them.
Worth the read.
Worth the read.

Like his father, fourteen-year-old Will Burrows has an obsession with archaeological digs.
When his father disappears, Will is determined to find him. With the help of his best friend, Chester, Will discovers a network of tunnels under modern-day London. As they follow the tunnels deeper and deeper into the earth, they discover a dark underworld.
But the inhabitants don't want them there.
Will never dreamed his digging would unearth dark family secrets . . . secrets that should have remained buried.
I enjoyed reading TUNNELS. The dark caverns of this book were filled with twists and turns that took me deeper and deeper into the story. I found myself completely submerged in the underground world and the lives of the characters.
It was a little slow going at first, and there were a few rough spots to get through, but this is to be expected when tunneling to avoid collapse later on. Once the story broke through into the underground, it was fast-paced and exciting with surprises around every turn.
I am looking forward to the sequel so I can go DEEPER.
