Book Review: Wool by Hugh Howey

My Book Retreat

Sheriff Holston has lived in the silo his whole life. But today, he has uttered the words that will get him out: “I want to go outside.” Usually, it’s the prisoners who are sent out to clean the windows so everyone else can see the desolate world outside. But three years earlier, Holston’s wife uttered those same words and left the silo herself. Now Holston is following in her footsteps to see what is really out there.

Wool by Hugh Howey is a short story, so I don’t want to give away any more of the storyline. This will be a quick review. I will say that I was hooked from the start and read this straight through in one sitting. It’s a simple but fascinating story and I’m really looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

My Rating: 5/5
