![]() ![]() The last section of the book picks up speed, and the pace keeps the pages (or page-swipes) turning. Derivative of 70s style dystotian fiction (I.e., Logan’s Run, Soylvent Green), Wool managed to breathe life into stale scenarios. I tweeted about it, and called it a kind of an adult Hunger Games. The major characters are older-an old sheriff, an aging mayor-and there are female characters that don’t strictly adhere to action-girl badass/ Mary Sue tropes, which is refreshingly adult. The first four sections are extended character studies that move the story forward while leisurely exploring the dystopian/post-apocalyptic worldscape of underground warrens, Ruined Earth and complex secrets. The author has been considered something of a golden boy, a success story from the story mines of self-publishing. ![]() I finished reading Hugh Howey’s novel/series Wool, after reading the hype surrounding the book. ![]()
