Room meets Lord of the Flies, The Bunker Diary is award-winning, young adult writer Kevin Brooks' pulse-pounding exploration of what happens when your worst nightmare comes true - and how will you survive? 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 lift is the only way in or out. What's he going to do to me? What am I going to do? If I'm right, the lift will come down in five minutes. It did. Only this time it wasn't empty...Praise for The Bunker Diary: "[Kevin Brooks'] pacey plots ...have made him a cult among teens.

The Bunker Diary (Fiction - Young Adult), by Kevin Brooks From School Library Journal Gr 10 Up—Linus is a 16-year-old runaway living on the harsh English streets who wakes up one day in an unfamiliar underground bunker with no water or food while under constant surveillance by an unknown kidnapper. As each day passes, more people are kidnapped and are subjected to the same brutal conditions. When Linus and the rest try to escape and find out more about their situation and their kidnapper, they realize that, with their options dwindling, they may have to resort to the ultimate horror to survive. Brooks's controversial Carnegie Medal-winner is truly a psychologically disturbing book that will leave readers with a deep sense of unease. Linus's first-person narrative will make teens ask themselves what they would do in his situation. It's not a title for everyone: some may be unsettled by the harsh realities the protagonist faces, while others will be fascinated by the simple complexity of Brooks's prose and truly effective storytelling. A unique choice that will get teens talking.—Christopher Lassen, Brooklyn Public Library

The Bunker Diary By Sarah (Feeling Fictional) 3.5 starsI'm finding it really difficult to write a review for The Bunker Diary, it is the kind of book that I can't say too much about because I don't want to give spoilers but that makes it hard for me to express my thoughts about it! This is one of those books that will make you think, it makes you question how you would cope in the very worst of circumstances. How would you get through it? Would you fall to pieces or would you find a way to stay strong and hope for the best? Would you be brave enough to fight or would you just curl up and wait for it to be over?Linus has been facing all of those decisions and many more ever since the morning he was kidnapped and woke up alone in an underground bunker. What does his captor want from him? Is there a way to escape? Will be always be alone down there? You get to watch the story unfold by reading the entries Linus makes in his diary and it was a fascinating look into his mind as he dealt with everything that was happening. Once I picked up this book I found it incredibly hard to put it down, I kept thinking to myself just one more chapter and before I knew it I had reached the end.As much as I'd enjoyed the journey I did find myself feeling slightly disappointed with the ending, mainly because I'm the kind of reader who prefers to get answers to their questions rather than being left to guess or make my own mind up about what happened. I had so many questions about Linus's captor and what his goals were and I felt slightly frustrated to get no answers. I reached the last chapter and found myself desperately flicking through the blank pages hoping to find more. The more I think about it though the more that ending makes sense, I just can't see how else things could have played out to a more satisfactory (for me) conclusion.If you're looking for a story that will make you question everything then I'd highly recommend The Bunker Diary, the story is grim, dark and at times terrifying but it is compelling reading and I'll definitely be looking out for more from Kevin Brooks in the future.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Disturbing in its hopelessness. By Donna C Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.That should really be the tagline for the book. On one hand I don’t understand why this took so long to get published. I don’t see what the big deal is in terms of its dark content. On the other hand it doesn’t fit with the grander YA category in terms of having a shred of hope for the protagonists. At least with your standard dystopians or post-apocalyptic there a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel. With BUNKER DIARY there is none. Zero. It reminds me a little of Gudrun Pausewang’s TRAITOR with the ending. I think Pausewang’s book is worse in terms of hopelessness. It gives you a shred of hope and then promptly bashes you in the face with it and takes it away. It taunts you with its own inconsistency. BUNKER DIARY at least doesn’t tease you.If you’re looking for a plot there’s really very little. That’s not to say it’s not interesting. Nor is it not edge-of-your-seat kind of interesting. From early on I think it’s pretty clear that this is an experiment with the human psyche. What will these people do when put in this situation? And to eliminate the control person, you mix it up as much as possible. One girl is nine, the main protagonist is 16ish, another woman is late twenties, early 30s, one man is late 30s, early 40s, the druggie is somewhere in his forties, maybe, and the last guy is older, 70s, I think. Mix them up and then put them through this. Are they trainable? How will they react to positive and negative stimuli? How will they react to a proposition? How will they react to their own weaknesses? The approach is very dispassionate from the He they talk about but you feel every second of what they’re going through with them.It’s a bit epistolary with Linus being the main guy telling the story. You get a little of his background but the majority of what he’s talking about focuses on the now of them in this bunker. Smells, tastes, desperations. It’s very basic but at the same time you’re never not left wondering. You know what’s going on with everyone, you know how everyone feels and you especially know how Linus feels. For a plot with little movement that’s set, for the most part, in a single scene, it grips you and keeps you in the story and won’t let you know to the very end. And I like the epistolary telling. It’s fitting and makes it all the more real.I accidentally had a look at the end before getting even halfway through and while I didn’t read any of the words I saw the structure and I knew how it was going to end just from that. But I don’t think how it ends is the surprise. It’s how the people get to that end that really make the book. That’s the unknown and each one is just as shocking as the next (okay, in that regard I pretty much get why publishers initially thought this was too dark for YA because THAT part is pretty rough). This is a book about people. You are a fly on the wall in this experiment and you see how it all plays out and it will affect you in all its raw telling.BUNKER DIARY leaves a mark. Good or bad it’ll make you think about what you just read, the implications, and maybe even what you might do in the same situation. It really is all around depressing. You never get a why for it all going down, why those people were locked up. And I think that makes it even more disturbing. Motive helps people give reason to the unreasonable. It helps them make sense of things. Finding out that something happened for no reason? It’s hard to grasp, to comprehend, and that lack of motive can be deeply disturbing.4.5I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

He fell for an old mans trick, and is now trapped in this place. No one knows where he is, no one knows that he is missing. There is only one way out, the lift, it comes down once a day and then goes up once at night. Why is he trapped here? What does that man want with him? Will he ever get out? One day the lift comes down and he is not alone.This is a spectacular, heart-wrenching, thrilling novel. Kevin Brooks will shock you and leave you at the edge of your seats, hoping for Linus and his companions, and probably have you thinking one word, "what?!?!" Mr. Brooks in not afraid to be controversial or hit you metaphorically again and again. The Bunker Diary is a spectacular read, but not for the faint hearted, it is very morbid and one main element is torture. This book will keep you begging for more.I recommend this book to...Fans of darker novelsFans of mysteriesTeens and Adults at least 9th grade and above
