That secret was a powerful drug. He only knew to do what he was told. 

Wool is a tightly wound novel about the limits and capacity of human hope and survival. This book got off to a slow start and I struggled to want to keep reading. However, once the action kicked in, I realized how tightly wound this novel was, and the horror and action made me giddy with entertainment. If you’re looking for a similar vibe, I would definitely recommend the Wayward Pines trilogy by Blake Crouch.
