[Cameron Trost]

A relatively entertaining story overall of life in underground silos but too repetive and in parts, and the twist or moment of revelation I was waiting for never came.

Wool was one of the first books I'd ever heard of to be self published on Amazon and make it big. It was released as 5 separate short stories in the same larger story that make up Wool Omnibus -- a tale of life in a silo in a apocalyptic world. The pace and way the narrator reveals the mysteries of the world was extremely well done Never did I feel like something was being hidden from me without reason -- but only that it would be revealed later once the main characters learned what was happening.

This book is fantastic. The story is of a post apocolyptic society that lives in an underground silo. It is alluded to, but never right out said, that nuclear war broke out and the people in this silo is the last of humanity. The book starts off with a cleansing....which means the people of the silo sends a condemed man/woman outside in what I would call a haz-mat suit to clean the cameras. Then they walk off and die. The book takes off from there and there are a few twists in the plot that even surprised me.
