Customer Reviews

This is one great book

I read this book many years ago and remembered how much I loved it... I have a friend who is a book lover and I went to BAM to buy it... Wow.. I couldn't believe they did not have it... I really enjoyed this book and learned alot that I didn't know about tunnell rats... Actually i was talking at work about this book and learned that i was working with someone who was a tunnell rat back in the korean war....Did you know you had to be short to be a tunnell rat? Well I'm gald I found this book. I'm going to buy it and read it again , then pass it on...

There can be no one-line summary

I am normally a "skip-reader". I could not do so with this book. I learned a tremendous amount about the concept of the Vietnam war that was so much a part of my life. I want to know more. Is there another book by this author?

Non-stop literary fun

Flynns' biting humor and edgy action, make Digger a read to lose sleep over. Although a bit far-fetched, I was only disappointed that it ended. A refreshingly fresh style.....

A gripping story line.

Somehow I didn't believe that a story about tunnels under a small town could be all that interesting. I was wrong. Flynn brings storyline, character, and the tunnels together in a masterful way. A great read.

Inspirational!

This is another boonie dog book review from Wolfie and Kansas. We really dug Joseph Flynn's novel "Digger". Ever since the tunnel rats stole the show in Stephen Hunter's "The Day Before Midnight", we've waited for a thriller giving subterranean Vietnam veterans a leading role. Mr. Hunter went back to snipers, but Mr. Flynn has come through with a superb tunnel rat book that has action, a mystery, and some spirituality."Digger" tells the story of how some former tunnel rats used the tunnels they dug under their midwestern home town to intervene in a violent labor dispute. We found "Digger" to be truly inspirational. After reading this book, we dug two new tunnels under the fence surrounding our yard.
