This Omnibus Edition collects the five Wool books into a single volume. It is for those who arrived late to the party and who wish to save a dollar or two while picking up the same stories in a single package.

This is the story of mankind clawing for survival, of mankind on the edge. The world outside has grown unkind, the view of it limited, talk of it forbidden. But there are always those who hope, who dream. These are the dangerous people, the residents who infect others with their optimism. Their punishment is simple. They are given the very thing they profess to want: They are allowed outside(less)

A solid story

4 stars

A surprisingly good story, so I'm gonna read the rest of the trilogy. It's worthwhile, the story seems to mostly make sense, the characters are believable, the descriptions make it feel somewhat natural and it has some surprises while not relying too much on those. I'm pleased by how the story is built and progression through the chapters is also influencing the way it is told.

Just an all-around solid book, would recommend it, even just the first book alone. I'm looking forward to what is coming in the next two books, hopefully it's not doing a Metro 2034 on me.
