Part Two of the Silo Trilogy by Hugh Howey was a great read again. There are three parts in this book: Shift One, Two and Three. I really enjoyed part one, which plays before the silo was made and tells the story of its constructing. Although the plot is set before that in Wool Omnibus (Silo, #1) yo...
A few days ago, I completed Wool by Hugh Howey and immediately launched into the prequel, Shift. Howey's post-apocalyptic universe is mesmerizing. This is the kind of book that gets inside your head. The characters are very believable and compelling. The story moves along in much the same manner...
I liked this better than its predecessor, Wool. It is a compulsive page turner because you do want to find out what happens (happened?). But it just takes so long to get there! I know it's an omnibus of shorter works, but when it's all put together I just want it to move faster. Couldn't it have bee...
Though not as compelling, it’s an excellent follow up to Wool if you want to know the reasons behind the creation of the silos. Many questions are answered, many new ones created. We gain insight into why and how the silos were created as well as learn more about glimpse contemporaneous events fro...
The Shift is comprised of three parts: Legacy, Order and Pact, which if you have read Wool, promises answers to some of your questions. I have read some complaints that the characters in The Shift were too flat, not fleshed out enough to become invested in. It is true that some of these characters...
Shift, as the impressive science fiction follow up to Wool, proves that Hugh Howey can write - and write well. This is a prequel, but is, in my opinion, better read after Wool in order to not destroy the unique aspects of reading Hugh Howey's first work. I would say that together Shift and Wool appe...
"At almost the same moment in humanity's broad history, mankind had discovered the means for bringing about its utter downfall. And the ability to forget it ever happened."Shift is the story of a newly elected Congressman, Donald Keene, who unwittingly becomes embroiled in a mad plan to save the wor...
Prequel to Wool or rather the events of Wool from the perspective of the people who planned and built the silos.Conceptually I understand why sci-fi fans enjoy the work of Hugh Howey. Post-apocalyptic with elements of quite a few sci-fi favourites. Howey manages to gather together the futuristic fea...
The Shift Omnibus continues with the underground silos introduced in Wool. However, this book is a prequel and takes place beofre the action in Wool. We begin to see and understand how and why the silos were built, although the answers take work to discover. We are introduced to the people who built...
