Deep Down Dark by Héctor Tobar Book Summary

Deep Down Dark is the novel that inspired the film The 33 starring Lou Diamond Phillips, Cote de Pablo and Antonio Banderas.

When the San José mine collapsed outside of Copiapó, Chile, in August 2010, it trapped thirty-three miners beneath thousands of feet of rock for a record-breaking sixty-nine days. After the disaster, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Héctor Tobar received exclusive access to the miners and their tales, and in Deep Down Dark, he brings them to haunting, visceral life. We learn what it was like to be imprisoned inside a mountain, understand the horror of being slowly consumed by hunger, and experience the awe of working in such a place-underground passages filled with danger and that often felt alive. A masterwork of narrative journalism and a stirring testament to the power of the human spirit, The 33: Deep Down Dark captures the profound ways in which the lives of everyone involved in the catastrophe were forever changed.

Deep Down Dark. This book was an eye opening, heart changer. Written very well, can't put it down. So glad to read the details of the rescue and the individuals involved in this epic historical victory over tremendous adversity! Roxanne Michigan, USA

Gripping. Even though I know how this story unfolds, I was gripped. The details and perspective offered kept me reading long after I should have gone to sleep. A wonderful book.

Deep Down Dark. This Novel is humbling, miraculous & well written. Upon reading it I felt I was there with the miners during their ordeal. This account of their experience & journey back to normalcy with their families above ground, has honored each individual miner. A captivating and amazing story. Thank you.

Riveting!. Thank you, Mr. Tobar for writing such an excellent story. I couldn't put the book down. You successfully took the words of the miners and others and let me feel their pain and horror. I will never forget this tragedy.

Deep down dark. Very good. Didn't want to put it down.

Deep Down Dark. Compelling and riveting account of the 33 Chilean miners trapped for 69 days in the San Jose mine. I couldn't put the book down. It's a deeply personal and spiritual account of what it feels like to face death and then miraculously survive and try to return to a prior way of life. Extraordinary story. Highly recommend.

Deep Down Dark. What a phenomenal story of the 33 Chilean miners who were trapped underground for 69 days. This book was chosen for our book group. It was so inspiring to read about these ordinary people who survived 2,200 feet below ground through their teamwork, faith, and the extraordinary people who worked above ground to rescue them.

Well done. Good book. Flowed very well.

Excellent Reading. Remember watching the rescue on TV. This book took us behind the scenes and the years after. Would like to have seen a map of the mine included.

Compelling and Illuminating.. This book sheds light not only on the events that occurred in the Chilean mining accident, but also into the psyche of the men trapped inside. The book is a spiritual journey of survival and will readjust your perspective once finished.

Deep Down Dark. Excellent book. Would highly recommend it.
