I really, really enjoyed this. There were times when I found myself counting down the time until I could get back to the book. This is not to say that I never wanted it to end. I read part one for free last summer and enjoyed it, but not enough to actually buy the next installment. This has more to do with me reading things in the installment method and less to do with the book (I feel the same way about the Scalzi-I'm waiting for the whole thing to be published). Anyway, Wool. What's not to love?
I feel as though I have read the entire Dystopian cannon from A-Z, or the good to the bad (Into the Forest being, I still feel, the BEST). Wool is far from perfect, but it is a great story with a unique premise. Honestly, I know there has been a bunch of griping about the lack of characterization, but I find, as a reader, it is easier to insert yourself into a story if the author gives you less than more-so that didn't bother me. I was a little put off by Juliette's super human abilities (the woman is a MacGyver with the luck of James Bond), but that didn't really bother me either.
It's a page turner that is perfect for floating around in the pool and reading.
I'm determined to remain spoiler free in this review, so I'll leave it at this: it's a good read.
