The Tunnels series was very
important to me when I was younger, it brought me a lot of joy during very
lonely and empty times. The book could take my mind from the place I was at to
the made up world of Roderick Gordon. About exploring underground and finding a
whole other civilization that is just as corrupt as the one they were living in
above ground.
As a kid I had a very open mind, and adventurous spirit which led to me to do a lot of things that I’m not proud of, but will never regret. The book was able to take my imaginative mind to a whole other level, I often day-dreamed about living in the book with all the characters I had become so attached to.
I
have read every book in the series, but haven’t really kept up on them lately
because I’ve gotten older and have a lot more responsibilities and stuff to do,
that I find it hard to save time to read a book, even once a day.
“But I’m not just talking about
faith in the laws of science. I’m talking about faith in one’s convictions, in
one’s beliefs. For far too long, I lacked faith, and faith can move mountains,
faith can open your eyes to whole new lands.”
