The whole series was great but this was definitely the best of them. Spent the entire time scared to death of what was going to happen next. I just finished and have such a buzz right now. Definitely has my recommendation. A more thorough review to come at the Omnibus Edition.

Next to the first part (Wool #1) the best part! Just as it should be in a novel, really. Great plot and storyline, very believable characters and the right amount of drama, action, suspense, and excitement!

This is a truly great series. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would want to see a couple of movies made out of these stories. I really want to see what he writes later!Update: On the second read, I find myself wanting the real continuation of this storyline, and not the prequels that come after....

I blew through this in one sitting - a very intriguing, and fitting end to this series. Howey has created one of the more dramatic, deep and interesting settings for a story I've ever read, and the potential for future work is incredible. I can't wait to read the "Shift" series next, and I'm more gl...

The Stranded, the fifth installment in Wool series of Hugh Howey is great. Sure, there are a plot holes and sometimes the characters act weird, but I think it's not important.I liked it a lot and I'm happy there's more.3,5 stars rounded up.

2.5 stars for the series overall. There are several important flaws that I can't get around. I'm not much of a video watcher, in part because the problems with this series are ubiquitous in film and television. Like [b:Cowboys & Aliens|10904100|Cowboys & Aliens|Joan D.

It must be a woman who wrote this.. Why else the happy ending, huh? Ok, I know it technically didn’t actually end here, since there is now a part 6 and 7, but still.. What is up with the happy ending?!And how evil a person am I for not liking happy endings?!!Anyway.. This was part 5 of the series, a...

Well. This was not, precisely, a satisfying conclusion to this series. I know Part 6 is a prequel, but I hope Howey decides to continue telling the stories of silos 17 and 18. I probably won't read them, but it all ended too abruptly here. It felt rushed.I want the readers who really loved this worl...

This review is also available on my blog, Stumptown Books.Actual rating - 4.5/5Isn't that the nicest summary for a novel you've ever read? Hugh Howey is basically awesome.Wool 5? Also awesome! What an emotional ending to a great story. It is quite a bit longer than any of the others, but I still...
