Description
SEASON 2 OF THE ACCLAIMED SILO SERIES — BASED ON BOOK 1, WOOL — NOW ON APPLE TV+
“One of dystopian fiction’s masterpieces alongside the likes of 1984 and Brave New World." — Daily Express
The first book in the acclaimed, New York Times best-selling trilogy, Wool is the story of mankind clawing for survival. The world outside has grown toxic, the view of it limited, talk of it forbidden. The remnants of humanity live underground in a single silo.
But there are always those who hope, who dream. These are the dangerous people, the residents who infect others with their optimism. Their punishment is simple. They are given the very thing they want: They are allowed to go outside.
After the previous sheriff leaves the silo in a terrifying ritual, Juliette, a mechanic from the down deep, is suddenly and inexplicably promoted to the head of law enforcement. With newfound power and with little regard for the customs she is supposed to abide, Juliette uncovers hints of a sinister conspiracy. Tugging this thread may uncover the truth . . . or it could kill every last human alive.
“Claustrophobic and, at times, genuinely terrifying.” — Washington Post

Great job
5By Justinwilson@edmondI love it but it has too much cussing. BUT I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH!!!!!I Don’t Say I Like It, But It’s Good
4By Om PreethamThis story took longer to read than I had anticipated. Rather than being well-written, it felt somewhat boring at the mid. The author is good at presenting small details but focused too much on the flow, missing opportunities to build excitement. However, they did make the story somewhat unique compared to other sci-fi works, and in the end, it turned out quite well. Now Shift!“A Tale of Two Silos”
5By 3R3Z“WOOL” is a scorching, writhing, steel-toed-boot kick to the head but in a good way. Yes, I saw the 1st two seasons before buying the books - that is a singular joy, that I cherish: reading the book a film or show - or both - are inspired by and picking apart the differences … probably because I’m a writer. I love that WOOL contains season one and two … getting me even more psyched to leap into the next book … ESPECIALLY after that season 2 finale! 🤘🤘🤘Apple brought me
5By Cujo4401Apple might’ve brought me but dang I couldn’t stop. Well written and never feels like a slog.Should had been better written
2By TradermmmmThe idea is fantastic don’t get me wrong but how was written is hard to digest, should had hired a good developmental editor.Better than the show
5By TheLiquorCptI started this because I really liked the show, and I really loved it. Can’t wait to start the second book.Perfect in every way.
5By filmguyryanThis dystopian tale is perfectly paced, a world perfectly revealed, a perfect expression of human kindness and tragedy, perfectly dysfunctional. The pages didn’t flip fast enough with a new intrigue and adventure always a chapter away. The story is dark and heavy, but always leaves room for hope and a reason for optimism. The characters live in a microcosm of societal fatalism, but with enough light pushing in to allow the weeds of humanism to take root. I can’t wait to jump into the next!Underwhelming
2By mishachanchibadzeThe book is too long for its substance and the whole story leaves an aftertaste of incoherence. I’m still going to watch the series but only because Stephen King rated it highly.Dystopian Writing at its Finest
5By ColeslawwedTerrific book! Once you get hooked, you won’t be able to put it down.Twists and Turns
5By MaxedwayoutLots of twists and turns and the mysteries unfold!
