![]() ![]() Living in a silo with over a hundred levels below ground consisting of all the necessary systems to function a society properly, people exist almost within a caste system with the "up-toppers" as the upper-class with a "view" of the outside and the down deep levels of the working class. Wool feels like one continuous tale about a society in the future forced to live in a silo buried underground because the air is so toxic that any who venture outside are poisoned, ultimately succumbing to their death. When was the last time I did that? Honestly, I really can't remember.Įven though it's broken into five "short stories," I would rather describe it as five parts. Sitting at a bookstore and foregoing all the other books I was buying for family and instead whipping out my iPhone to read just a few more pages. ![]() I actually was excited when I knew I had to wait in the stores fighting holiday crowds. I haven't been this eager to read a book every chance I got in a long line at a checkout counter. I haven't been this excited about a book in a long time. When Carl said this would be his favorite of the year, I screeched to a halt and thought, wha? A self-published tale? Really? Interest piqued and a tad bemused at the idea (please forgive my elitist tone) I downloaded Hugh Howey's Wool Omnibus and on a whim, opened it to read the first few chapters, fully expecting to not really get it. I am quickly realizing that I need to pay more attention to my fellow bloggers out there. ![]()
