Ozzie, Dan and Kyle tell all

This book opened our eyes to lots of truths regarding the homeless population living in New York city, and consequently made us think more about homeless people in general. Toth uses vivid interviews from this society of outcasts to help the reader understand the kind of person that lives on the streets. This was interesting to me, as I believe it would be to others, because most people spend their live only minimally acknowleding the homeless, not to mention avoiding any conversation.

Toth uses a casual yet scholarly tone that makes it easy to read, but at the same time very informative. She gives a lot of detail about both the places and people she visits to help create the sense of being in her shoes. The only thing I didn't like was the lack of pictures in the art/ graffitti chapters. This is just because she gives so much detail as to the importance of these murals, but only shows a couple of the murals. The tones she uses range from comedy to serious which allows people to really get into the book. Another thing that really could have been worked in would be the insight of more children in the underground

love this book, my #1 recommendation for friends

I loved this book. My daughter lives in NYC and everytime I'm there riding the subways I think of this book, it's so interesting. I always recommend this book to friends. It's an easy read for any age. Even my son, who hates reading, enjoyed this book.

stays with you

I just came across this title in my Amazon recommendations. I read it about 15 years ago and I STILL think about it and recommend it. Absolutely fascinating. I would love to see a follow up to this story.

The Mole People - Great Book!

The Mole People was recommended to me while visiting NYC. I really enjoyed it and thought it was very well written. It is pretty amazing to learn what really is below the subways of New York. On my next visit I definitely will look more carefully when taking the subways to see if I can see any of these tunnels and passageways. I would recommend this book for anyone who loves NYC or enjoys reading about how some people really do exist underground.

This book is about the thousands of people who live in the subway, railroad, and sewage tunnels of New York City.
