Narrative In Favor Of Books Wool Omnibus (Silo #1)
This Omnibus Edition collects the five Wool books into a single volume. The first Wool story was released as a standalone short in July of 2011. Due to reviewer demand, the rest of the story was released over the next six months. This is the story of mankind clawing for survival, of mankind on the edge. The world outside has grown unkind, the view of it limited, talk of it forbidden. But there are always those who hope, who dream. These are the dangerous people, the residents who infect others with their optimism. Their punishment is simple. They are given the very thing they profess to want: They are allowed outside.

There are two stupid things about this book, neither have to do with the writing. The writing is good, the story is original, I highly recommend this book. Let's address the stupid things. The name is stupid. It is like a garage band was after a clever name. There are no sheep in this book, there is no wool in this book. There is one tiny insignificant piece where a character is knitting but she isn't even using wool, she knits with cotton. Given the subtitles are all knitting related (unravel,There are two stupid things about this book, neither have to do with the writing.

With great pleasure, I read this book. From the first page, I was simply drawn into the world of Silos. This dystopian world is also well presented and I felt as I read it is literally in the Silos with numerous underground levels in which people live for hundreds of years. The writer has evoked the world with such ease and enjoyed in this imaginary world through the book. In a hostile world that has destroyed large war, in the huge Silos live last remnants of civilization. At the top of the
Some books take a while to dig into. The first few chapters set up the story, introduce you to the main characters and build a framework for the tale to come. Wool sets up the story too, but in a heartbreaking and gripping way that has you consuming the book as quickly as possible, if only to learn the answer to: "that's not really about to happen, is it?"There are moments in Wool when I wondered if maybe the book was too dark. I mourned for characters and didn't know how they would possibly get
Outstanding!WOOL began its life as a self-published short novella in July of 2011. That's hard to believe. I feel like I've been hearing about this thing for ages and ages. So I'm late to the party, but not that late. Due to excited reader response over WOOL 1, author Hugh Howey quickly released the next four parts in the series. Then came along this Omnibus which collects Parts 1-5. There is now a 2013 edition with a great new cover that features a blurb by none other than Justin Cronin, author
This one grew on me as I went along with successive generations of sheriffs in the silo society coming up against the hidden forces of conspiracy. But my drive to understand the real story behind this post-apocalyptic colony was undermined by the slowness of revelations, their contrived nature, and wooden quality of character portrayals.I couldnt suspend disbelief on the lack of communal knowledge about the causes of the apocalypse, why the world outside is so toxic, how the society could make a
Buddy read with the MacHalo group.This is a book I have had on my to-read shelf since 2013 and it's another one where I ask myself, "Why did you wait so long?!" It looks like *everyone* has read and reviewed this already. I'll just say it lived up to the hype, in my view.I think the author did a great job building his world and making the characters come to life. I felt emotionally invested and there was enough thrills and mystery to keep me hanging on every page. I loved Juliette, the mechanic,
