Definitely Recommended!
Another great series! The start is slow but picks up into another fantastic start to a new series. Violence is harsh but acceptable to those mature enough to handle it. The drinking and drugs is an issue but is brief.

tunnels is the best
This book is AWESOME! A little violent, slow, and depressing at times, though. Overall, this is a great book full of adventure, suspense, and mystery. Brian Williams and Roderick Gordon; you are geniuses!

Tunneling Into This Book!
You need to read! starts off a bit slow in the beginning, but after that I was hooked onto the action, suspense, and settings that the book took me to! Had me a little queasy at some graphic parts though. MUST READ!

this is a good book. however some parts especially the beginning are slow. If a movie: Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of action and violence, some disturbing content, bullying, and brief smoking.

It is Kinda Violent
I have to admit, Tunnels start quite slow but once you get in the 'zone' then it's almost impossible to stop reading. I don't it's that violent. The violence in the book is when they get tortured and when his arm gets injured by a stalker.

This book is so good.
i think that this book is awesome! i think that common sense media's age levels are a bit overdramatic though, over half the stuff i read is for 12 and up. i've read tunnels and deeper. need to get freefall, closer. spirals coming out soon. really AWESOME!!

Awesome Book
In my opinion this is one of the best books I have read in a long time. Yes it ends quite abruptly but all is answered in the next installments Deeper and Freefall. If you are intregued by the life underground the by all means read this book!

AWESOME PLAIN AWESOME. and because of you I didnt get to read it until my dad read it first. And he didn't see anything wrong at all. So I read the next and it was even better and then I read Free fall and it was a thousand times better. Cant wait for the next one.

Awesome
I think that the Tunnels series is great!It is VERY graphic, but in my opinion, just a great book. I'm reading Deeper (the sequel) right now, and can't wait for Closer! If you don't mind lots of violence (like me) the book is awesome. If you aren't really a fan of it, then I would NOT read this book.
