Review: Wool Omnibus by Hugh Howey

The good

• Intriguing central premise: a society living in a giant underground silo, while the world outside seems destroyed and toxic, and no one seems to know how they got there.

• Does a nice job of exploring the central mystery with plenty of good action, suspense, and pacing.

• Does a nice job of exploring the dystopian society would form under such conditions: the rules, traditions, class warfare, etc.

The not so good

• The characters are OK, but not great. They aren’t 2D tropes, fortunately, but they don’t quite feel like fully-fleshed out, 3D humans either.

• The dialog is OK, but not great.

• The ending is OK, but not great.

Rating: 4 stars
