I will admit to being a pretty impatient reader - as soon as I became aware of the premise of this book I was flipping ahead in pages to find an explanation. I love to spoil it for myself what can I say? However, the fact that I had to do this so many times goes to show that this book has many twists and turns that will have you turning the (many) pages.
Despite this books length, I felt it was necessary to get to where it did. Towards the end I did really notice how many holes were left for further books in the series - which I am not a massive fan of in novels but what can you do.
I thought I'd seen every kind of dystopian novel out there but here's another one to put on your list Hunger Games / Divergent / Maze Runner / The Road / 1984 girlies.

This is a story about the lives and deaths of those in the silo. It's a story about who rules the silo, about a closed ecosystem and about what's outside.
This was an adventure! I discovered HH through a book with novellas. He has a really captivating writing style. I loved the idea of the silo and how it works!
