Digger

Rating:
Summary: improbable plot, shallow, ill drawn characters.
Review: The plot offers some promise, but is so improbable as to suggest the book be classified as a fantasy. While the author draws what is probably an honest-though-sympathetic view of union members, his view of business people is so skewed as to make his portrayal a joke. A heavy handed story that misses. Too bad, it might have been quite good, with a real editor and a less self-indulgent author.

Rating:
Summary: Inspirational!
Review: This is another boonie dog book review from Wolfie and Kansas. We really dug Joseph Flynn's novel "Digger". Ever since the tunnel rats stole the show in Stephen Hunter's "The Day Before Midnight", we've waited for a thriller giving subterranean Vietnam veterans a leading role. Mr. Hunter went back to snipers, but Mr. Flynn has come through with a superb tunnel rat book that has action, a mystery, and some spirituality.

"Digger" tells the story of how some former tunnel rats used the tunnels they dug under their midwestern home town to intervene in a violent labor dispute. We found "Digger" to be truly inspirational. After reading this book, we dug two new tunnels under the fence surrounding our yard.
