This is going to end up being one of those books I force on all my friends, insisting that they read it immediately. I loved it and can't wait for more.
Please see my full reviews of the stories:
Wool 1Wool 2: Proper GaugeWool 3: Casting OffWool 4: The UnravelingWool 5: The StrandedNow go read this! You won't regret it!
Update May 13, 2012:Hugh Howey has announced over on
his blog that his self-published book
Wool has been acquired by Fox! I couldn't be happier for him, and I am so excited for the future of this promising author. How crazy to have something explode so quickly like
Wool has!
Update October 29, 2012:Wool has been spotted at Powell's Books in Portland!
I was bleary-eyed and walking towards the coffee shop when lo! what should I spot on the new release shelf but the Wool Omnibus. I gasped and ran over to it and fondled it affectionately. The person shelving close by gave me a weird look and stepped away.
Nobody gets between me and my Wool.
Another update! October 30, 2012:Guess what book is totally on the Goodreads choice for best sci-fi novel?
Yeah!
I know!
I cast my vote so fast I didn't even see what else was on there.
I'll be rooting for you, Hugh!
