Flauschbuch reviewed Wool by Hugh Howey (Silo, #1)
Half great, half meh
3 stars
The first part of the book is great, especially the way we are introduced to "cleaning" and then the silo. The part with Juliette's investigation felt a little rushed. But it still would have been a great book if it had ended with the supposed cliffhanger or shortly thereafter (I don't want to spoil too much here but you'll know what I mean if you've read it.) The second part of the book fell kind of flat for me. Even though I appreciated the story structure of the second half it was difficult to keep engaged because we never had a chance to connect to most of the people in the first silo. The villain also rapidly degraded into a cartoonish evil guy and the love story wasn't very believable.
