Silo Origines

Product Information

Hugh Howey is a great idea man and the post-apocalyptic world of the Silos is a wonderful little playground with the potential for great stories. Unfortunately Howey's skills at character-building leave much to be desired and ultimately drags down the entire series. New York Times bestselling author of over a dozen novels. SILO out now on AppleTV+ Beacon 23 coming soon!

Cela manque de complexité, personnages insipides, pas de réflexion, pas d'enjeu, pas d'action. C'est mou dans tous les sens du terme. Last night I was tempted to give this book two stars out of sheer frustration, but that wouldn't be fair. Yes, it's nowhere near as good as its predecessor, the excellent _Wool_. And yes, it's not what you'd call really good. But I did read it straight through, and with no regrets. istorija yra pusėtina, ypač kol buvo pasakojama, kaip atsirado šachtų idėja, kaip jos buvo statomos ir kas ta paslaptinga grėsmė/nelaimė/įvykis, dėl kurio šachtų projektas, arba, kaip išdidžiai jis buvo pavadintas dar pirmoje knygoje, pasaulio tvarkos projektas „penkiasdešimt“ buvo paleistas, bet vėliau pasakojimo kokybė krenta, labiausiai – dėl nuspėjamumo, tačiau ir kitos nuodėmės nepadeda. Personažai prastokai išvystyti, pačioms šachtoms dėmesio daug mažiau, ir apskritai pati knyga atrodo per daug išpūsta, ištempta.This was an excellent “prequel” to Wool. Knowing what happened in Wool, you know where things are heading at the beginning of the book. The horror I felt at the motivations of the people pulling the strings was great. And it just got worse and worse. I have shelved these stories science fiction, though these are much less science than they are simply human and somewhat tragic. Hugh Howey understands and portrays loneliness in a way I hope never to experience firsthand. He shows us how love, when it's desperate and dysfunctional, can ruin a relationship and perhaps even a civilization. Bottom line is that he "gets" people and shares his compassionate appreciation for our flaws and our well-intentioned missteps, even when this revelation is far from the sunbeams and rainbows we hope he'll provide. The narrator was ok. His main voice was pleasant enough, but I didn’t love all the voices he did to differentiate the POV characters and others. He did do a fine job with the British accent. Also, he actually said “Nuke-u-lar”. Ugh. And it wasn’t a character’s “voice”. Overall I would rate him about a 3 because he wasn’t horrible (except for Nuke-u-lar). I very rarely read science fiction but this series by Hugh Howey sounded so interesting I gave it a chance. The first book was Wool Omnibus which was a 5 star read for me and this second book in the series didn't disappoint either.

Aux États-Unis en 2049, le sénateur Thurman a convoqué le député Donald Green pour la réalisation d'un abri antiatomique, haut comme un gratte-ciel, mais enterré. As with the first book there’s always this feeling that Hugh Howey has it in him to write a full blown five star novel, but misses.Really good. I enjoyed the first two stories in Shift but the best story by far was the last one ( Third Shift), as it focused on one of the more interesting arcs from Wool. I found the first book in this trilogy, Wool, surprising and exciting in a way I haven't experienced from a science fiction book in a while. Unfortunately I didn't feel the same way about this one. Oups, j'ai cité ton billet de mémoire (et j'avais retenu ces ""longueurs"") mais je vais de ce pas retourner le lire et corriger mon billet !

If you already have editing experience, and you have an article relating to the Silo Saga to contribute, use the box below to create it: It leaves an opening for Dust, which I assume will be the thrilling finale. Just what exactly lies beyond the Silos (pun intended)? And though the ostensible motive for constructing the Silos has been revealed, something tells me our crafty author isn't showing us all the cards just yet... The excuse for not unfreezing/waking up the women was weak. As if men wouldn't get into fights without the presence of women. Par contre je n'ai pas trouvé que le texte présentait des longueurs qui devenaient un défaut, c'est un texte riche et long surtout parce qu'il s'agit d'une intrigue riche en informations et qu'il faut du temps pour que tout ce place.
Le 1er tome, je l'ai lu assez rapidement et je m'étais attaché aux personnages, notamment Juliette.

Donald -- God I hated that guy. I swear the whole book is him having a pity party. I could handle it in the beginning (after all, horrible things happen to him) but by the third book I wanted to rip his head off. I know Donald is supposed to be a sympathetic character because he was duped and deceived, but let’s face it, he purposely tried to stay uninformed. That was his goal, to bury his head in the sand, even when obvious hints were thrown his way. I think he’s one of the biggest, redundant and whiney, woobie characters I’ve read in a long time. And the thing that finally tips him over the edge made my eyes roll. Turman’s been slaughtering people for years and Don finally decides to do something about it because he finally figured out that Anna purposely separated him from his wife? wtf? PROS: Strong beginning; empathy for major characters; challenging philosophical themes about war and sacrifice to survive as a human race. But perhaps it's because most of the real mysteries were already uncovered in book 1? Well, to an extent that is the case, but there are things hidden in book 1 that are uncovered here. In fact, a good deal of the unknown from Wool is clarified in this book. No, I think it's primarily because this is a prequel, with much (but not all) of the action preceding events in book 1, and life in the world as we know it just didn't hold my interest in the same way. It's also because the characters here just didn't grab me in the same way either.
