I think Dead End Tunnel may be my favorite Nick Roberts book to date. (Keeping in mind I haven't read Mean Spirited yet.) I'm always a sucker for coming of age horror, and this book is everything I love about it. The boys feel very real and believable. The characters actually speak like boys their age in 1999 would. Speaking of 1999, there is some nice 90s nostalgia sprinkled throughout. 4.5 stars
