The outside world is uninhabitable. To even speak of it is forbidden. Humanity has been reduced to a single silo buried underneath a wasteland of death and despair. 3 sections, 48 floors each, hundreds of feet below the surface. That’s it. The only thing buried deeper, in this apocalyptic landscape,...

As far as the people in The Silo know, they are the only people left in the world.Rules and regulations make sure everyone conforms to keep things running smoothly, and any dissenting voices take a trip "Outside", which is a sure fire way to a quick death.It's also split into divisions, with the up-...

Inhaltlich möchte ich nicht viel verraten, um denjenigen, die die Silo-Triologie noch beginnen möchten, nicht die Überraschungsmomente zu nehmen.Die Story des letzten Teils "Exit" hat hier und da ein paar Längen, ist aber insgesamt spannend und führt zu einem in sich schlüssigem Ende.Wer Dystopien m...

Oh gosh what to say about this book...I'm really just glad it's over. The first book, Wool, was so good that this was like a total letdown. It felt like a constant chore to read. I think what I didn't like the most about it was the way it flashed back through different years and different silos. The...

I loved it-it was fantastic! I really liked how Howey sucks you in at the beginning by throwing you little tidbits at a time about the world and the current dynamics. Some authors try to do that but they can't pull it off. You end up completely lost or could careless about what the hell they are tal...

It's a sign of a good collection when I put my kindle down and realize that I now have many more books to read, either series that I was introduced to from the short stories I've just finished, or a realization that I would read just about anything written by one of the authors, so caught was I by t...

I take it back, when earlier today I said that I was underwhelmed. The book just starts slow. Hugh Howey spends a lot of time world building in a way that sort of leaves you scratching your head, wondering why that might have been relevant because it sure as hell doesn't feel that way. Maybe as a...

So, I don't do serials well. I read the first installment, thought it was great, then waited until they were all published. I read all 5 installments as one book, so I'm going to review them all as one book. The blurb says this book is about a guy manning a Beacon in a remote sector of space. Thin...

How 'Casting Off' went for me. I am loving this. LOVING!!!! My biggest issue is that I'm listening to this while walking so therefore I'm doing all the above in public. Plus side to this is that people are actively avoiding my space while I walk so, SCORE!! Minnie Goode the narrator is just fucking ...

How 'Proper Gauge' went for me. Is George R.R Martin writing this?
