Maybe I'm just a sucker for this kind of governmental dystopian fiction, this oppressive society type of storytelling, but I rather enjoyed Going Underground. However, I was torn between a three and a four for the duration of the read. Mainly because the author herself had notified me whilst ingrained into the tale that this wasn't exactly the final version yet. I kept that in mind throughout. There are parts of the narration that need cleaned up a bit and the dialogue as well, but all in all...I'd say it's pretty engaging.I will admit that I wasn't hooked until the hammer dropped, though. When that notice came into the fray around page 30 or so, I was immersed. Sometimes I find that we are only a few steps away from a tyrannical and corporate uprising in our everyday lives. I enjoyed the relationship between Jen and Myron. I felt that that was fleshed out very well. But the thing I liked the most was the concept itself. I really give points for the colored uniforms dictating which class you're a part of. It made me think of where I'd be lumped in. Probably the middle class Blue, but not so sure. That was intriguing to me. Three uniforms, three forms of identification. What's so terrifying about it is the underlying reality within the fictional machinations here. It's the stuff that provokes thought.
If something like this were to happen, how could you stop it? We're under the rule of thumb right now, actually. But we just bat an eye to all of it and go about our self-serving, trivial business.
While there are indeed grim sections of violence and dire hopelessness, there is true light at the end of the tunnel for our characters who were embroiled in rebellious battle. Is that a spoiler? You decide. I thought the way this novel wrapped was quite ideal. Honestly, it made me smile. Perhaps it's because I'm a softie at heart when it comes to stories like this. I look forward to reading the remixed edition soon, L.N. Denison. Rounding up to four from a 3.5 for overall potential and genuine, personal immersion experienced.

Going Underground eBook LN Denison Reviews
Going Underground presents a possible future, which seems far too believable, in light of headlines about suicide bombers. In fact, some aspects were as disturbing as the reports about the Nazi concentration camps and disgusting experiments of Dr. Josef Mengele.
The story projected a dark and forbidding feeling throughout. The description, characters and attention to detail were well done. While Jen could be very annoying, she is a teenager, so she was believable.
IMHO, this sentence captures the concept of the book, "You will never be safe from scrutiny— remain vigilant at all times. Do not let the government bureaucrats bring you to your knees, and don’t give them a reason to make you victims."
This story absolutely reeled me in. From the very beginning I was under its spell with my heart beating fast and no desire to put it down. It isn't a pretty story, or a nice story. But it is a very thrilling story to read, and naked in its realism of the darker side of humanity.
The characters are raw and without refinement, which suits exactly where they are and what they are having to put up with just to survive. There is no fluffiness in this story - there is terror, pain and a sense of evil in some people who pass through it - but I believe it is entirely believable fiction. What I've read in this story today will stay with me for quite a while, I expect. It is thought provoking about where humankind can go if a series of seriously wrong turns are taken.
I found this to be an exceptional read and I look forward to reading more by this author.
L.N. Denison’s Going Underground is a dark dystopian novel set in 2044 London. A British authoritarian government seizes control of the country in the middle of its war with Scotland, oppressing all citizens not of British pure blood, capturing and torturing them, and driving them “underground.”
Jen Cole is a rebellious, attractive red-headed teen, estranged from her alcoholic mother and fighting her own personal battle with authority. She flees a correctional institution, and with help, rips a tracking device from her ankle. Jen then links up with Myron Cutter, the son of an upper class government figure, and Oscar Saracen, a self-appointed crusader with a mission to end British oppression. The book follows their efforts to spread the truth about the British government in their effort to spark an uprising.
L.N. Denison’s writing is suspenseful and dark. The dialogue is minimal but crisp and successfully aids in developing the characters and the plot. I found it easy to accept the main premise of the dystopian novel, but for me, there are parts of the story that don’t ring true. As an example, Jen and her partners are smart, strong-willed, and resourceful, yet they seem to take unnecessary risks (like throwing leaflets off a 40-story building, not thinking about the time it would take them to descend). Their risks lead to suspenseful situations, but I’m not sure these defenseless young adults would survive these events.
I root for underdogs, and Jen, Myron, and Cutter fit that definition. This book takes them in and out of hopeless circumstances and me along with them. It is an entertaining novel, and one I think most readers would enjoy.
