**SPOILER FREE** This book just really wasn't for me. Basically, Eli and his family have lived in an underground compound for six years. His dad built this compound in the event of a nuclear war. No luxury was forgotten. He built an underground mansion. Eventually, some problems occur with thei...
An interesting YA read with a protagonist that has lived for six years in a rather luxurious fall-out shelter with his family.

Gearing up for a different read, I pick up this book because the synopsis intrigued me. Being trapped in a compound for years captures me.
