Narrative Concering Books The Bunker Diary
I can't believe I fell for it.It was still dark when I woke up this morning.
As soon as my eyes opened I knew where I was.
A low-ceilinged rectangular building made entirely of whitewashed concrete.
There are six little rooms along the main corridor.
There are no windows. No doors. The elevator is the only way in or out.
What's he going to do to me?
What am I going to do?
People are really quite simple, and they have simple needs. Food, water, light, space, privacy. Maybe a small measure of dignity. A bit of freedom. What happens when someone simply takes all that away?

Uummm... Where do I even begin? What I'd like to do is just ask why anyone would ever write a book like this. And then I'd have that person committed to an asylum. Because, wow. Talk about horrific. It's not that "The Bunker Diary" isn't well written, far from it, but why any person would have a desire to read (or write) something so gruesome and appalling is beyond me. I would have given this book five stars for the beautiful poetry of the writing, had the main character not died in the end,Until Tatiana reviewed this, I realised I'd actually forgotten to do so myself. And, frankly, skip this one. Please. I'm saying that to protect you.The Bunker Diary made me think of my seriously unsettled view of True Art Is Angsty. The Bunker Diary is relentlessly miserable, depressing, and unforgiving. Think of the worst ending you can think of and triple it. It's well written, it's well structured, but it's not good.Yes, I have no doubt that those of you who loved it (and possibly Brooks
Kidnapped and trapped in a bunker, this diary tells the story of Linus Weems from the day that he wakes up down there to the day that the nightmare ends. Over time he is joined by five others, from a nine year old girl to a older man dying of a brain tumor. There is no rhyme or reason as to why these six were chosen and throughout the entire book you wait and wait and wait to learn something about the "man upstairs" who kidnapped all of them. Then the book ends. Nothing was resolved and everyone
A very good yal book! My young students loved it too. One of them couldn't sleep after finishing it. Made quite an impression.
This book is absolute perfection. I would not change a single thing about it, especially the ending. The messages are so intricately woven and muddled in with often completely meaningless diversions that it can at times be difficult to understand what Brooks is actually attempting to communicate - but that's all part of the wonderful, intriguing mystery of this book. The reason that I couldn't give it full stars is because it's absolutely the most horrifying and unforgiving book I have ever
So depressing and so pointless in the end. I guess I need someone to explain it to me?I wanted to accuse whoever judges Carnegie medal awarding of being morbid, but then I remembered Printz Honor for Nothing, which is only slightly less depressing, but better written. In the end, I would classify The Bunker Diary as more of a torture porn experiment (like those Saw movies) than quality literature for teens. But that's just me.
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 FOLLOWSI had a sinking feeling as this book developed that I was going to be very angry about the ending...and I was! I
