Im a NewYorker and take the subway almost everyday. The stories in this book amazed me. I knew homeless people lived underground but never realized that there are such large communities of them. I never knew all these hidden spaces existed. There are stories of people who wired electricity down there, ones who lived in their underground rooms without seeing light for days, and other things one would never think of. I'd also like to say that the author was one brave chick for going underground to talk to these people alone and unarmed.
