 After tunnels, a deep diappointment January 4, 2009
layla (london)
DONT get me wrong, i love the idea, the original plot, and i thought Tunnels was fantastic, but this, i'm afraid, was very disappointing,
the atmosphere in it is continously glum and gloomy, so its difficult to enjoy,there are some sensationalised incidences, like about their mum, but it seems to be roughly put-together and isn't very convincing. like the characters in it, the storyline seems to be going round and round in circles as if the authors have run out of anything original,and another thing, they seem to have packed in EVERY cliche i can think of, it's a shame after that great first book
 Even Better Than the First One! December 30, 2008
J. Power (London, United Kingdom)
I thought Deeper was a triumph. Following the first book I couldn't wait to find out what happened next and boy is it good! The two authors have the quite some imagination and have created this incredible new world deep under ground in the bowels of the earth under London. The tale takes Will Burrows, the hero, deep into the earth in search of his father. Along with his brother, his great friend and some renegades they find on the way, Will has a roller-coaster ride learning how to survive the treacherous conditions, whilst at the same time avoiding being caught by the evil Styx overlords. The cool thing is, although it is obviously fantasy, it is all a little bit believable. This is due to the imaginative but highly descriptive, detailed and involving way in which they write. It is such a roller-coaster from start to finish and I couldn't put it down and managed to read the book in just 3 days. At times it is scary, at times it is quite moving, most of all though it is just very exciting. I kind of wish I was a bit younger as I think I would have enjoyed it even more.
The ending is definitely better than Tunnels, a bit more conclusive but still leaving me waiting for book 3 with great excitement.
Roll on book 3!
DEEPER is POORER October 20, 2008

I was expecting something much better! Tunnels was a superb book with a rather unique idea. However Deeper turned into a reading slog. I had been able to read Tunnels to my nephews and it kept them facinated - this did not happen with Deeper. Deeper is just a story of a journey that goes on and on and on and on. I even made diagrams to assist my nephews understand the story better. For information, I mentioned my view to the assistant at the local Waterstones and he said that "it is a bit of a disappointment" and this was not just his view.............and that is exactly how I feel about this book.

Deeper delivers - Sensational sequel to Tunnels June 7, 2008
Ms. K. Everitt (Warwickshire, UK)

This sequel finds 14 year old Will Burrows, his younger brother Cal and friend Chester journey further underground into The Deeps; a place where those banished from the Colony are not expected to survive. They try to find Will's stepfather Dr Burrows, who wanders alone compiling a journal of it's hidden depths and seeking clues to a lost civilisation - quite oblivious to any danger, even when a large arachnid takes a liking to him!
The boys struggle with the many adversities they face, in a world of everlasting darkness, exhausting heat, prehistoric creatures, deadly caves and vast expanses of desert, lava tubes and sea - to name but a few! They are befriended by renegades Blake and Elliott (girl), who are resilient and inventive in surviving the dangerous and difficult conditions. However, when they find that a small army of Styx is closing in on them, pursuing them day and night, they soon realise that it is `Will' who they are hunting - but why and by whom takes them by surprise.
In The Deeps the Styx have been devising a weapon that will cleanse the world of the sinners who live above ground (Topsoilers - us!), enabling them to return to the surface and regain what they see is rightfully theirs. Will eventually comes face to face with his adoptive sister Rebecca and realises that she is at the heart of the plan, but - she is not alone!!
I would say this sequel is suited to ages 11+ (fluent readers). I see it appealing to children, teens and adults who enjoy a fast paced, action-packed `dark' adventure, nail biting suspense and a few surprises along the way - some more grisly than others! Deeper gets off to a flying start and retains it's momentum with three contrasting stories of Will, Sarah Jerome and Dr Burrows. After the frantic journeys to exotic places in the far reaches of the Deeps, I was ready for the dramatic finale at The Pore. A thrilling end, not without death and sorrow (will say no more!), with also a flavour of what may follow.
The characters are believable and compelling, pushed to extremes their insecurities are heightened and their courage and friendship tested. I particularly enjoyed the stories of Sarah and Cal, who both faced such diverse emotions. Sarah with her strength and survival instincts, but what a contrast when she opens up about losing her baby - a mother and a heroine for me. The early exuberance of Cal was soon eroded by his time in The Deeps, despite Will's best efforts to protect his young brother, and I found myself wanting to rescue him from the physical and emotional pain he endured.
The fluent and descriptive writing made this menacing and oppressive subterranean world below the streets of London, come alive for me. The attention to detail and vivid imagery so meticulously formed in Tunnels has paid off, making this sequel a sensational and rewarding read.
