Book Review - Wool by Hugh Howey



What if you had lived your whole life in a silo buried in the earth?  This silo has hundreds of levels each serving different functions and purposes…medical, manufacturing, water treatment, gardens, IT.  Some catastrophic event has occurred and it is unsafe to go outside.  In fact, if you do go outside, you will die.  The unthinkable happens…the sheriff ASKS to go outside setting in motion all kinds of consequences. 

This is the kind of book that causes me to contemplate how would our world react to some catastrophic event…would the good rise to the top…or would evil take control?  I think this book would be great for a book club.  And the best part…it’s part of a series.  I can hardly wait for the next book in this saga. 

The book is titled Wool and is authored by Hugh Howey.  The call number for the book is – PS3608.O9566W66 2013.
