Mission – Was boring and had no personality. Of course, most of the characters didn’t have much of a personality. It probably didn’t help that in Mission’s scenes, Howey spends long passages describing life in the Silo one more time (like I didn’t get enough of that in Wool?) Silo - Origines, Actes Sud, coll.« Exofictions», 7 mai 2014, trad.Laure Manceau, 564 p. ( ISBN 978-2-330-03201-2) You might know I do not DNF almost ever, but this time I was buddy-reading this with my mom. And since I was taking my sweet time, she kept whining about wanting to talk about the story and just tortured me into finishing it! It was terrible :D abuse, I tell you! Here's a GIF of me (superstar!) to show you how I felt while reading this book – I think it's a better outlet than text: I don't really know where to begin with this book, or frankly - IF I should begin at all, cause you can see I just gave it 1 star, which I pretty much never do, so you must be getting the vibe that not only did this book not satisfy me, it probably even enraged me.

Why have children's books with pictures of the outside world (grass, sky, animals etc) if you are trying to hide this from the silo occupants? Why do 'regular' people in regular silos have tins of food (Jimmy looking for a can opener and finding canned food). More to the point, why have canned cat food that's edible 100s of years after the occupation of the silo. Come to think of it, why are there cats there in the 1st place give the way the silos we occupied!?!?! Neblogai, bet nieko labai blatno. Iš tikro, tai šita knyga, kaip pasakojimas, labai nukentėjo nuo to, kad tai yra priešistorė. Ir jei tai būtų tik priešistorė, tai ma ją šunės, bet kad ji dar nemažai persidengia ir su pirmąja knyga, ir tada gaunasi, kad skaitytojas faktiškai antrą kartą skaito apie tą patį. Na ir kas, kad iš kitos perspektyvos, kad pasakotojas kitas, vis tiek galų gale viskas susiveda į tą patį argumentą – antras kartas. 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.and I am sure you can carry on with this list to eternity. In fact, please carry on in the comments! I would really love to find out what sequel drove you mad. It's one of those stay up all night I just can't put it down kind of books. The characters are so well crafted and believable even under the bizarre circumstances they are trying their best to survive. Le 1er tome, je l'ai lu assez rapidement et je m'étais attaché aux personnages, notamment Juliette. While this is not the adrenaline paced, thumb sweating read that Wool was, Howey’s world is still extremely well imagined. The Shift answered many of the questions I had and gave birth to scads more. Second Shift' also features two linked narratives. In one, we continue the drama in Silo One, between Donald, Senator Thurman, and his daughter, Anna, as Donald is awoken from cryosleep for his 'second shift.' In the other narrative, the action takes place in Silo 18, where we meet a young porter called Mission, who has never known any other world but that of his silo. The only inkling he and his contemporaries have had that things might once have been different are the stories of an elderly teacher, who tells fantastic tales - tales that seem unlikely, but at the same time, are sufficient to sow the seeds of discontent. And the society of Silo 18 may be increasingly unstable...

De multă vreme îmi doream să ajung la începuturile Silozului și să aflu de ce s-a sfârșit întreaga lume... iar acum... ei bine, acum am aflat și nu sunt prea convinsă de plauzibilitatea evenimentelor: cum se poate să distrugi planeta pentru că ți-e teamă de o posibila armă devastatoare a unei alte națiuni? cum pot trei-patru oameni să-i convingă pe alții că e mai bine să ucizi miliarde pentru a salva câteva mii? mă depășește absurditatea acestei logici.... Totuși, lăsând la o parte nemulțumirile subiective, din punctul meu de vedere, Silozul. Începuturile completează destul de bine universul seriei; sper să apară și volumul final al trilogiei.

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... Hugh manages to do it all with his usual engrossing style. Dare I say I'm pleased to be able to see his evolution as a writer through the entire series; as well-written as all of the Wool books were from the start, I think in Shift he takes his craft to a whole different level. Tropes show how literature is conceptualized and created and which mixture of elements makes works and genres unique: There’s not as much action as in Wool. This book, at its core, is mainly about the psychological effects this barren world has on its occupants. I think Howey has pulled this off nicely. Although some passages felt a bit too long and overwritten.

BOTTOM LINE: While the first half gave hope that this sequel could surpass Wool Omnibus, the story went downhill from there. Shift is still recommended for Wool fans, and it will not kill interest in reading the concluding volume even though it did not meet expectations. The excuse for not unfreezing/waking up the women was weak. As if men wouldn't get into fights without the presence of women. Il faut attendre un peu pour que le lien avec les personnages de Silo s'établissent. Un suspens de plus. D'ailleurs toutes les questions ne sont pas résolues et ne serait-ce l'obstacle de l'épaisseur et de la densité d'Origines (mise en balance avec les 580 nouveaux romans de la rentrée littéraire…), il se rait tentant de le relire . Le dernier tome sort en octobre.... je trouve que l'été est le moment idéal pour s'enfiler les deux tomes <3 , digérer un peu et puis être prêt aux révélations du dernier :D Je suis toujours un peu dans ce roman même + de 15 jours après... je suis vraiment fan :D
First Shift – Legacy starts out with a young congressman, Donald, who has aspirations for greatness but finds out that his plans are not what those up the chain-of-command have in store for him. Donald is given the task of building an underground silo — just in case recent nanotechnology development continues to escalate into a world war — and is assigned to work with an old flame from his college days. This old flame flirts just like she always did, and he begins to wonder if she is manipulating events to keep him away from his wife. The race for Donald to figure out what he is really building and how to make sure he doesn’t lose his wife in the process is very exciting and emotional, reminiscent of the turmoil in Wool 1 and even made a few reviewers wonder what this series would have been like had it started with this book. The conclusion of First Shift – Legacy wows as much as it breaks one’s heart.

Polar et informatique

Le roman commence par une alternance de chapitres se situant avant et après la création des Silos. le lecteur est projeté dans diverses époques et découvre ainsi la conception, le fonctionnement et l'évolution des Silos. Notre curiosité, fortement attisée par la lecture du premier tome, va enfin être satisfaite. L'histoire est captivante. Les Silos regorgent de nombreux mystères que l'auteur sait nous distiller avec parcimonie. 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.

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: In brief, Legacy tells us about what is happening in the world prior to the destruction we have seen and know from Wool. It introduces us to the players, takes us inside their thoughts and doubts and dreams, well at least those of Donald. From the other major players what we see primarily is manipulation of the weaker, more reliant members of the party; those that are indebted to the manipulators, for their positions and opportunities provided. A glimpse, if you will, of what life had been, a sneak peek at some of the doubts beginning to infiltrate the minds of the manipulated and a front row view into the minds of those in charge.
