"I read this book as a teen and loved it then; it is a great read now. Even though there is a lot of "technical" information about building the storage box and its placement, I did not feel threatened; in fact, I learned about the constructs and the basis for the procedures.
I would recommend this book to men and women alike. The central character's dedication to his project and seeing it through to the end - regardless of personal risk and cost - is inspiring."
