Only made it through 100 pages. Too similar to Hunger Games/Maze Runner for me to stomach any more. I’m sure it’s a solid read if you’re new to the genre.

UPDATE: 5 years later read it all and enjoyed it just didn’t want to read another dystopian thriller at previous point in my life thanks for your patience everyone.

Recently, I haven't read some dystopian novels and Wool really surprised me and made me fall in love with it. With hand on my heart I can sincerely say that Juliette became one of my favourite main characters from all of the stories I have read. I just cannot wait to watch the TV series and see how Silo 18 and the dynamics in it are portrayed. The concept of the silos is quite interesting to me due to the lack of such dystopian societies, the closest to it maybe the bunker in the 100th.

Ich tat mich anfangs echt schwer mit dem Buch. Teil 1 kannte ich ja schon und fand ich super interessant als ich ihn gelesen hab. Teil 2 hat mir allerdings viel Geduld abverlangt - ich kam kaum weiter. Es war einfach nur langweilig!
Doch dann kam Teil 3 und es zog wieder an. Die Spannung stieg und die Neugier wuchs. Juliette gefiel mir als Charakter jetzt weniger - sie war etwas zu taff und zu erfinderisch und fast schon zu perfekt. Und Lukas...naja...den mochte ich gar nicht. Mich würde allerdings interessieren, was genau passiert ist und wie es weiter geht.
Alles in allem eine kurze Review für ein relativ langes Buch. Wer auch immer es liest, haltet durch! Nach Teil 2 wirds wieder besser =)
