Deep Down Dark: The Untold Stories of 33 Men Buried in a Chilean Mine, and the Miracle That Set Them Free | 
so-soA little bit dry but definitely fascinating to read about what these men went through being trapped in the mines for so long.
pickIncredible story of the 33 Chilean miners trapped and their survival. #audio
I can‘t believe this has been in my to-read pile for almost three years and I‘m just now getting to it. So far, so good. The best writers still manage to maintain a masterful way of creating suspense even when you already know the ending. Tobar is no exception.
#GetMovin The amazing true life rescue of the 33 men trapped inside the Chilean Mine, racing against time to reach #HigherGround. I listened to the #audio which was just ok, due to all the names of the men. It was difficult to remember all their jobs & backstories without having the book to reference. I think I may have done better with this book in print form. I did watch the movie, I found that helpful after the audio.
Best kind of Saturday morning!
Yippee I â¤ï¸ bookclub Saturday!

pickI remember the news but what a story! Tobar has great pacing and even though there are so many people in the story, I never felt lost.
This one is a mouthful, try to say it three times fast. #MarchIntoReading #AlliterativeTitles
pickThe story of 33 men trapped for months in a Chilean mine. Because it's a true story, I knew the ending, but it's still fascinating to read about these men's struggles to endure, their faith and support in each other--and the tremendous efforts on the surface to rescue them. Provides plenty of information about mining without being boring.
BOOM! Shake-shake-shake the room. 💥 📚 😂
I am #thankfulfor a lot of things this year in the face of the utter pile of BS this year has been. I'm thankful for a supportive family, a steady and safe job, all the books that make me grow and learn, and everyone here on Litsy. The future is going to be rough, and it will be nice to have a safe place to retreat to when needed â¤ï¸. #photoadaynov16 @RealLifeReading
picktoday's #booktober challenge is a book set in South America. Deep Down Dark is the true story of the thirty three miners trapped during a mine collapse in Chile, and how they survived and were rescued. You get a sense of what the miners lives were like before and after the collapse as well. My only complaint is I wish this book had visuals! @RealLifeReading
So I bailed on the book, and choose to watch the film The 33🙊The movie was excellent, reminding me that sometimes, film can do a book justice. I kept reading the book and thinking, I need to visualize this and then I realized I can, thanks to Netflix 🤗 I often prefer the book to the movie but in this case Hollywood won out🎬
Started this today, gripping so far. Reads a bit like telenovela...I'm liking this one ,except it's a lot of names to keep track of😳
Woke up to this treat this morning☀ï¸an e- book from the library on a holiday weekend🦄 I 💜the library system📚Happy Reading to all #biblioweekend
"Thirty-Three?" Sepulveda shouts. "The age of Christ! ...' Several other men repeat the phrase... Even for men who aren't especially religious, the number carries an eerie meaning."

pickAn interesting dive into the details of the Chilean mine disaster. My only problem was, though the story was very readable, Tobar doesn't have a single protagonist to focus on - he has 33. As a result, the narrative is sometimes hard to follow and isn't as engrossing as I wanted it to be.
