NOW THE NO.1 DRAMA IN THE HISTORY OF AppleTV+, SILO.


In a ruined and hostile landscape, in a future few have been unlucky enough to survive, a community exists in a giant underground silo.

Inside, men and women live an enclosed life full of rules and regulations, of secrets and lies.

To live, you must follow the rules. But some don't. These are the dangerous ones; these are the people who dare to hope and dream, and who infect others with their optimism.

Their punishment is simple and deadly. They are allowed outside.

Jules is one of these people. She may well be the last.

Critic reviews

"Exhilarating, intense, addictive. A novel you will never forget." (SJ Watson)
"The characters are well-drawn, and even the villains have a sympathetic side. Secrets unfold with just the right pacing, and I had to set the book down several times and say, ‘Wow,’ when a major twist was revealed ... If you're looking for a good read, you can't do much better than Wool." (Rick Riordan, #1 New York Times best-selling author)

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This story will stay with me for a long time. The narration is hauntingly beautiful, the characters are well developed and engaging and the story keeps you guessing right until the end. Couldn't recommend this any more highly.

Stunning

Good story with a fascinating dystopian concept. I'm looking forward to Shift. Unfortunately the narration was competent but not really captivating.

Good story, ok narration

I got hooked on the TV series Silo and could not deal with the cliffhanger at the end of Season one. From what I could gather Chapter 33 of the book is where Season one ended and that is where I started listening. This was the first book I listened to by Author Hugh Howey, and I fell in love with his writing style. It is so descriptive that you can paint vivid pictures in your mind. Generally, I prefer a male narrator but given the fact that the main character Juliette is a female the narration was actually perfect. I feel that the narrator did not have to be ‘extra’ and the subtle changes in her voice to reference the different characters was just perfect. Overall an addictive listen!

Addictive to listen to

Excellent story, post apocalyptic, dystopian society.

Excellent pace, there were hardly any times in this book when it dragged. Every piece of the story was so interesting and intertwined creaitng a wonderful mesh.

The narrator also did a superb job!

This book just kept my attention all the way through and I don't have any real criticism.

Going to order and read the next book immediately!!!

This book is sensational.

The reader was terrible, book 2 was so much better just because of the new reader. Not looking forward to book 3, that again has the same reader than this one

Reader is terrible
