Wool by Hugh Howey

3.0

Started listening to this audiobook after watching the series "Silo" that is an adaptation of this book. I saw some plotholes in the series, or things that were simply not explained, and wanted to see if the book gave any insight to this. Though it does explain the things I had issues with regarding the series, it might be a bit dragged out for my taste, it feels a bit repetetive, even though new things happen all the time. I just feel like it lacks some excitement? I think it could have been an easier read if it was split in two, following the lenght of the series,

where season 1 stops after Jules goes out to clean.

I think this would have given a bigger plot twist and shock, as it was a bit brushed over in the book? A lot of the characters felt a bit surface level too. On the other side, I do think this plot has gigantic potential, the whole silo community and mystery is very cool, I just wish it was executed a bit better with more shock factor and less unneccasary information? The book just felt way to long which made every plot twist very mundane. Feel like this was a very negative reveiw, because I did like this book, I was just a bit dissapointed as I saw so much potential in it and really enjoyed the first half. Not sure if I will read the next book or not.
