I enjoyed this. Would like to have had more, maybe split it up the same as he did the Silo series, there is definitely more story here. Give me more! lol
I was really looking forward to another long work by Hugh Howey. I love the Molly Fyde and Wool books, and bought this the day it came out. It did not disappoint. It, like Wool, is a post-apocalyptic story, but the circumstances a vastly different. This is a darker reality, and the characters and language reflect the grittiness and violence in this destroyed world.
I did feel that the ending left a lot of questions unanswered. I hope this means that there is more to come, but even if there isn't more, I am happy with the overall hopefulness that the story concluded with. We are left to imagine the characters moving on and living (better?) lives.

It was a run easy read. These really isn't much depth to it, but it was exciting. It reminded me far too much of the movie Waterworld. I enjoyed the Dust series significantly more.
Howey creates another interesting world in sand and tells another great story. He also keeps us wanting more leaving any questions unanswered and open to your imagination. Good read.

Used this book for week 4: A title that doesn't contain the letter "E".
Aside from the authors obsessive need to create an entirely new vernacular for sand, dependent on where you find it, this is a really good book. A definite 3.5, possibly even a 4, but it felt incomplete... as though there had to be a part 2, but there doesn't appear to be one. Still I am new to the post-apocalyptic genre so I might read some more and reevaluate.
