Chronicle Toward Books The Bunker Diary
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.

Kidnapped and trapped in a bunker, this diary tells the story of Linus Weems from the day that he wakes up down there to the day that the nightmare ends. Over time he is joined by five others, from a nine year old girl to a older man dying of a brain tumor. There is no rhyme or reason as to why these six were chosen and throughout the entire book you wait and wait and wait to learn something about the "man upstairs" who kidnapped all of them. Then the book ends. Nothing was resolved and everyone
