Book Review of The Mole People: Life in the Tunnels Beneath New York City

The Mole People: Life in the Tunnels Beneath New York City
Helpful Score: 1


I'd always heard about this book written in very early 90s. Interesting enough though the mental illness of many of those she interviews makes their grandiose bragging about the 'society' they've 'created' by squatting in a truly horrible environment very pitiful. I share some doubt about details, either told by the homeless, or shared by the author, and am puzzled how she got the trust of many of these people so quickly. However overall it's a good read.
