This book kept me on the edge of my seat throughout - so many cliffhangers and plot twists! I enjoyed how the story unfolded and I was invested in it, but there isn’t much deeper meaning here. I haven’t watched the TV show yet but I plan to!

I rarely read books that are over 300 pages, but this book drew me in at the first sentence and kept me interested down to the last sentence of the last page! I thoroughly enjoyed the plot, and the writing style is pretty good too.

I would recommend this to those of you who like sci-fis that aren't heavy handed with technical jargon and dystopians that aren't horrendously dark/graphic.

5.0

A tense, post-apocalyptic thriller. I starting the book after seeing the advertisement for Silo on Apple TV and it was totally worth the read. It got a bit slow in the middle, but picked up nicely at the end. I found the plot unpredictable, and to the last page I was never sure how things would turn out. The world building was intriguing and in-depth.
