Review: The Bunker Diary

I thought the premise was intriguing - 16 year old Linus is duped by a man to help him load a van….and wakes to find himself alone in an underground bunker. He is joined by a further 5 individuals similarly fooled, drugged and deposited into the bunker via the lift. Why have they been captured? What does this man want with them? How can they possibly escape.

WARNING: SPOILER FOLLOWS

I had a sinking feeling as this book developed that I was going to be very angry about the ending…and I was! I thought it was depressing, bleak and I couldn’t recommend it at all.
