The Bunker Diary by Kevin Brooks
William Leith21 March 2013
Linus, a homeless teenager, is wandering about London when a blind man asks him for some help. But the man is not blind. He’s a kidnapper. He knocks Linus out with chloroform and locks him in an underground bunker. There’s no way out. It’s claustrophobic and terrifying. Other people, who have also been abducted, arrive in the bunker. There’s a junkie, a young girl, a snooty woman, a fat businessman, a scientist. They bond and argue and fight. We wonder if they will fight to the death. Also, someone is spying on them — presumably the evil beast who incarcerated them. Gripping.
