A review by beeeyedubya
Sand by Hugh Howey
5.0
This book started at an incredibly high level of excitement. Then, even though I don't think it ever reached that same height again, it maintained a consistent "ooh, this is good" all the way to the end. But it was abrupt, that ending.
Every time I put the book down I was eager to get back to it, and never once did I wonder how many pages til the end. Really, that story could have gone in a hundred different directions from that beginning, that world was interesting and could spoke out into a lot of new equally interesting stories. I suppose it's good when the worst I can say for a book is that it needed to go on a bit longer. It did feel like he had some time limit and when the alarm went off he just wrapped it up and stuck "The End" on there.
As soon as I finish typing this I'm off to see what other Hugh Howey books are available. I've only read "Wool" and this one, and enjoyed both enough that I'll eagerly start another one.
