When I first read Wool, I was at a place that had no outside contact. Anything to read was rare. The book was torn down the spine into about 6 sections. I read the first section, and was mesmerized! So I tracked down the remaining sections and bartered my way to get them. After about 6 weeks I had the complete book. I loved it! The dystopian nature, the character driven story, the mystery.. all of it! Very brutal and unforgiving... One of the best books I've ever read! It cost me a lot to get all the pieces, and worth every trade I made!!
