Wool
NOW A SERIES ON APPLE TV+
*INCLUDES ORIGINAL NEW ESSAY “A HISTORY OF THE DARKEST YARNS” FROM HUGH HOWEY*
“One of dystopian fiction’s masterpieces alongside the likes of 1984 and Brave New World." — Daily Express
The first book in the acclaimed, New York Times best-selling trilogy, Wool is the story of mankind clawing for survival. The world outside has grown toxic, the view of it limited, talk of it forbidden. The remnants of humanity live underground in a single silo.
But there are always those who hope, who dream. These are the dangerous people, the residents who infect others with their optimism. Their punishment is simple. They are given the very thing they want: They are allowed to go outside.
After the previous sheriff leaves the silo in a terrifying ritual, Juliette, a mechanic from the down deep, is suddenly and inexplicably promoted to the head of law enforcement. With newfound power and with little regard for the customs she is supposed to abide, Juliette uncovers hints of a sinister conspiracy. Tugging this thread may uncover the truth . . . or it could kill every last human alive.
“Claustrophobic and, at times, genuinely terrifying.” — Washington Post

I will have a silo of my own in Death Valley, I’ll even have cleanings. That’s how much I love the book!

This story took longer to read than I had anticipated. Rather than being well-written, it felt somewhat boring at the mid. The author is good at presenting small details but focused too much on the flow, missing opportunities to build excitement. However, they did make the story somewhat unique compared to other sci-fi works, and in the end, it turned out quite well. Now Shift!

“WOOL” is a scorching, writhing, steel-toed-boot kick to the head but in a good way. Yes, I saw the 1st two seasons before buying the books - that is a singular joy, that I cherish: reading the book a film or show - or both - are inspired by and picking apart the differences … probably because I’m a writer. I love that WOOL contains season one and two … getting me even more psyched to leap into the next book … ESPECIALLY after that season 2 finale! 🤘🤘🤘

Apple might’ve brought me but dang I couldn’t stop. Well written and never feels like a slog.

The idea is fantastic don’t get me wrong but how was written is hard to digest, should had hired a good developmental editor.
