Deeper

The book Deeper is a sequel to Tunnels. The Author was Roderick Gordon. His writing style is very slow, but interesting.  I personally like his writing style. His message through this book and Tunnels was to NEVER give up. Will, the main character of the story goes through hell and back just to find out where his father is.                     

This book is about an archeologist, named Will who continues his search for his father. This book has a lot to relate to Tunnels, and some-what has the same background. While Will goes on search, his journey takes him through a subterranean world, when he find out that Styx (the bad guy) has a master plan to capture everyone in the colony from a knockout poison, Will then find himself trying to save others will his own life, is still yet endangered.


I did like this book and the book before, but they both have a lot to relate to each other with, so I kind of felt like I was reading the same book twice. The characters were that same, the base of the story was the same and the plot was pretty much the same thing. I would not recommend readings these books unless you have a great amount of patience or I could encourage reading one book. The good thing about this is you don’t have to have a lot of knowledge from the first one to understand the second.

Tunnels

TUNNELS by Roderick Gordon

“Tunnels” is about a teenager, Will Burrows who thinks an archeologist as himself, he loves exploring and learning about new things. When he stumbles across an underground passage that leads him to a new area called The Colony. There are many dark secrets that he learns about this place and why he’s so intrigued in it. Will and his friend Cal go through many troubles to complete their journey, like getting caught by the Colony police. Once they hear about the big secret, they find themselves on another journey to see what his father was on to.

The main character of the book is Will Burrows. He is 14 years old and gets the interest of archeologist from his father. He and his friend, Cal go on many journeys to find the solutions to his problem. Will would like to walk in the same foot steps as his father and he also looks up to his father more than anyone else.


This book has a VERY slow start and is a better book for smaller children. The only other problem is that it is a really long story and might be a little boring. Other than that, this book is fascinating and connects you to the characters. I personally liked this, but wish it started the story off at a faster pace and wish it wasn’t so long.
