"This is the behind the scenes story of the 33 trapped miners in Chile from 2010. It was an amazing story of rescuing these miners who were trapped over 2000 feet underground and they all made it out safe and alive. An incredible story of heroism. It was a fast and fascinating read for me. "

    " I think because there was so much on TV about these men I did not learn anything new. Although they were amazing men. A book of their life after they got out of the mine would be interesting. "

    " This was a very neutral approach to this drama, with an inside view of this harrowing expereince and some great examples of wonderful human nature. I was glad I knew how it ended and fascinated by the politics and drama that went on behind the scene. "

    " This was a book that Greg got for one of his online classes. I decided to read it since I never heard anything about this. Due to my previous job of death I rarely watched the news and still dont today. This was an incredible story about 33 men who survived being trapped in a mine for 68 days. "

    " Very interesting. Sadly I was living under a rock when this happened (also known as being pregnant and having a toddler) and knew little to nothing of this as it was happening so most of what I read was completely new to me. "

    " Not enough personal story. Simply a timeline of the rescue for the most part. I thought I wouldn't finish. Last night I couldn't sleep, picked this up and finished it. "
