The Bunker Diary by Kevin Brooks
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Linus is a 16 year old living on the streets when he is kidnapped. Put in a bunker with six others, they hope for a way out.

I enjoyed this book, as I usually do with quite ‘gritty’ reads, and I found Linus’ voice intriguing. I liked the mystery of the bunker, and the mystery of the kidnapper. However, despite my love for the plot and Linus, I don’t think the ending was constructed very well. I don’t cope well with endings that just leave me hanging. There was no hope, nor answers.

I enjoyed this Lord of the Flies-esque story, but for me, the ending was bleak and fell flat.
