you can see the video and / or read the text following it: very few plot details after the jump, but you are no longer a blank slate. This will give you an idea of one of the prevalent themes of Wool, without actually giving you any plot details 3. you can see the video claymation of Plato’s Cave allegory below. So I will leave you with three Wool-world like choices: 1. And in this respect, Howey blends story content and storytelling form into the best read I have had… well… longer than I can remember. A large part of Wool is about the choices we make in what we want, and do not want to know about the world we live in. One of the great joys in reading the Wool books was the way Howey reveals his world to us. I read the book without even looking at the back cover blurb, and I believe that approaching this book in complete ignorance, as a tabula-rasa, will give you the best experience. What is Wool / Omnibus about? I would like to say that what follows is a spoiler-free review, but as any review, you will still get some idea of the book’s plot from me before the story unfolds by the author.
In fact, now that Simon & Schuster have bought the dead-tree publication rights in the US, stopped selling the independently-published hardback and paperback editions, making my copy something of a collector’s item. With hardly any PR from his side, the Wool series became incredibly popular, and it is among the top Kindle bestsellers this year. The author, Hugh Howey, continued to publish Wool 2-5, and then compiled all five books into one volume, which he published independently. The five books grew from a short story, Wool, published electronically.
If you want one captivating book (or rather pentalogy) to read by the end of the year, then this is it.
I finished reading Wool / Omnibus a few days ago.
