Compelling. Any writer could have presented the story of the Chilean miners trapped for two months. Thanks to the fine writing of Hector Tobar in
Deep Down Dark, a compelling story becomes compassionate and insightful. Tobar presents the individual miners highlighting their uniqueness and complexity, and brings readers into their lives above and underground. He presents just enough about the families and the mining company to provide a context for the situation. The core of the book presents the miners as they are trapped awaiting rescue. Most readers will find this account to be compelling reading.
Rating: Four-star (I like it)
