I can see why Hugh Howey’s Wool is ripe for bestseller status: the hook is gripping, the characters are relatable, the sci-fi concept is intriguing, and Howey’s prose conveys the action with urgency and clarity. It doesn’t end up quite so satisfying to me, though. There is that one missing thing: de...
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.

Every time I read about a post-apocalyptic world where people live in seclusion I'm reminded of Fallout. liked the way the society was set up. The history and structure were well thought out, as were the "pressure valves."
