Ever since I finished the fantastic Wool a few years back I've had the other volumes on my TBR list. It was only when the other half of the two-person sci-fi reading group I'm in selected this that it became a priority though, and even then I'm about three months late getting to it. Part of it was t...
You know, everyone sings songs about Old MacDonald and his farm...and the farmer with a dog whose name was Bingo...but no one really sings a lot of songs about how Old MacDonald got his farm, or the farmer got Bingo. Shift is the story of what happened before "E-I-E-I-O" and "B-I-N-G-O" and all of...
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...
Oh, I loved this book. I loved Wool for it's higher pace story-telling, but Shift I loved just as much for the ingenuity of the story development. So far the series is my favorite in the post-apocalyptic/dystopian genre. P.S. I truly wish this series were made into a movie.
I wasn't as interested in the past of Silos 18 and 17 during Shifts 2 and 3, which is what ended up taking up a star from the final rating. I ended up half skipping those parts (and perhaps missing something). The story is also getting a little too convoluted and... pointless. But it's still an easy...
Some things are better left to wonder. When Hugh Howey initially began writing his Wool series, I doubt he had all the schematics laid out for the world he was creating. He had a fabulous idea for a story and he ran with it. When huge success followed, the obvious choice was to explore this world mo...
Originally read March 14, 2014 I enjoyed this omnibus, and I was never bored by it, but it wasn’t as riveting as the previous book in the series, the Wool Omnibus. Shift answers most of the questions that were still hanging open at the end of Wool regarding the origins of the silos. And, in the sa...
Ja! Der zweite Band der Wool-Triologie hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Es wird berichtet, was zeitlich vor dem Silo passiert ist bzw. zeitgleich passiert. Trotzdem sollte man dieses Buch als zweiten Teil lesen, denn so ist es gedacht. Die Zeit- und Ortsprünge fand ich spannend. Die Story ist sehr gut dur...
Shift is the sequel to the brilliant, self-published Wool, in which humanity finds itself confined to underground silos, the earth above a barren, toxic wasteland. In Shift, we find out why. Sort of. **Spoilers for Wool ahead** As it turns out, the reasons are a little far-fetched; mainly th...
