I read on here that someone said the ending was anti-climactic. And while that... isn't exactly untrue, I think this ending suited the book better. All in all, the series has been fantastic.

I enjoyed this book as the end to the Wool series however it definitely left me wanting more. I need to know what happens to some of the characters! Looks like I'll have to read the other books in the overall Silo series to find out...

Fantastic conclusion to the series! Howey has created a world that I truly hope he continues to write stories about, because the possibilities are endless here! I think the scariest part of this series is that you can so easily see this world becoming a reality some day. I can't wait to hear more about silo 18 and silo 17 soon. With there being so many silos, this series could go on for a very long time indeed. :)

We have answers to so much in this story, where to begin? I think it's best not to divulge too much - go read it, seriously! It is amazing.

Overall, I really liked this series. However, this book gets a 2.5 star rating because it just didn't deliver like the others. The thoughts and plots seemed to be more disjointed, and... incomplete. I think that's what I'm feeling. Parts felt drawn out, but the ending seemed rushed.

But I still enjoyed reading these books. I'll be keeping an eye out for more by this author.

I really enjoyed the series and I'm glad I found out about it. Book five had lots of great - and some even philosophical - moments.

But I didn't like the end. It was too quick, too aprupt. And I Lukas bugs me somehow. I can't believe that Bernard would have trusted and chosen him at all.

This story was a pretty good conclusion to this... story... (criminy, Howey!), with lots of questions more or less answered and just enough questions raised or outstanding to set the stage for the next series. It was a bit overlong, with some scenes seeming repetitive and others not seeming to advance the plot much (though who knows with all the stories left to tell), but I wasn't too sad about spending the extra time with Juliette and Lukas and even, to a certain extent, Bernard

The longer the series went on, the less engaging I found it. Sorry, internet.
