Wool by Hugh Howey
5.0
An truly unique and original take on dystopian fiction
I had been wanting to read this book for some time, and am a little ashamed that it took it being on sale to finally pull the trigger. This book grabbed me from the first paragraph, and didn't let go until I finished the last page, desperate for more.
Howdy has a gift for writing characters that you care about, that you want to see through whatever trial they are facing. He is skilled at writing action sequences that play like movie scenes in the mind, and leave the reader breathless with suspense.
If you don't care for science fiction, don't let that keep you from this remarkable book. There are enough deep ideas and philosophical notions here, enough action and adventure, and even romance here to p!ease just about any reader.
