Meh. In short, this book is a true story about people who went to the border to observe Latino children. The story overall is interesting but the delivery did not captivate me. To be honest is was boring. I did connect with some of the people in the book but found myself falling asleep a lot.

*by T***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2010*

"tunnel kids" is a mediocre book... the authors' direct and personal accounting of glue-sniffin', gang-bangin', abject poverty-stricken border children with little or no hope for their future.

Lawrence Taylor, an anthropologist, and photographer Maeve Hickey, spent two summers living among an unimaginably poor group of street teenagers in Nogales, Mexico. TUNNEL KIDS is the result.The children involved, ranging in age from 12 to 18, more boys than girls, are "cholos", small-time street gangsters, who struggle every day for their survival, an essentially aimless and unsupervised struggle blunted or soothed or both, depending on your point of view, by heavy drug use including marijuana, some heroin, and unfortunately widespread huffing of aerosol paint.But while this describes what they are, it does not describe ALL that they are. The authors humanize them to the point that they cease to be simply stereotypes.Taylor and Hickey became comfortable with a number of the cholos, and vice versa, and were then made privy to the daily details of their lives, as well as to their histories to a certain extent. Taylor writes intelligently and sympathetically about his interactions which included numerous tours of the underbelly of Nogales (which seems to be largely underbelly) without seeming gullible or ludicrous, and he is smart enough to understand that not everything he is told can be taken at face value.Hickey's photos are solely portraits of the young subjects and the subtleties she captures are exceptional.There will be people who might read this book and categorize the subjects as criminals and criminals only, stereotyping them rather than seeing them, for better or worse, also as humans, in this case lost children without money or education forced to survive as best they can on mean streets. These people will feel safer by denying humanity to those who make them uncomfortable. And if it makes them feel better, so be it.  I write this as a heads-up to people who prefer to think like this (street prostitutes are another favorite target group), as they will not want to read this book.As a point of reference, anyone who has read and really felt Trevor Greene's BLIND DATE will want to read TUNNEL KIDS. In my opinion, as a work of personal sociology, without the distance that word often implies, TUNNEL KIDS is simply outstanding.
