I recently got this when it was a free Kindle download. I am a huge fan of dystopian fiction. Wool is a very short read, it's a novelette of about 12,000 words. It really grabbed me and didn't let go until I finished it in record time. The protagonist Holston is the sheriff of the inhabitants of a silo, a dystopian society. Outside cameras show a world in brown and grays, toxic and lifeless. Every few years a criminal is assigned to go out and clean the cameras on the outside of the silo, a death sentence. The book starts with Holston volunteering to go out and clean.

I would give it 5 stars if the end wasn't so jarring. It's not even a cliffhanger, it just ends. Of course now I have to get the rest as well. Apparently there are 4 more books set in the world of Wool.

If you enjoy dystopia treat yourself to this story. The Kindle version is cheap, the author specifically priced it low.
