Reviews

"The Longest Cave makes the reader get down on hands and knees, to crawl through the tight spots and the false leads and the boulder slides. But somewhere in the rocks and mud under central Kentucky, the reader becomes self-reliant, begins crawling around the next twist of cave, begins to care. . . This spare and underwritten book is a primer in self-reliance and self-worth."--The New York Times
