Welcome to Litsy!

Great gift haul from my local indie bookstore, Copper Dog Books, on this small business Saturday! All set for family gifts and my contribution to my book group‘s Holiday Wishes family. #givebooks

I really enjoyed the Apple+ TV version of this story and was excited to compare the novel to it. Not surprisingly the novel goes into much more than the show. It was somewhat hard to follow as an audiobook and I sometimes found myself feeling lost as to what was happening and who was the focus of the chapter (it jumps around). That being said the story was fascinating and I‘m excited to see where it goes next! 🌟🌟🌟🌟

A great place-setter for the series & I can't wait to watch the show. If this book kept up the fast-paced sci fi writing in Part 1 it would have been a five-star read for me, but it lost that energy and I gave it 3.75. I am undecided whether I will continue w/the silo saga.

I admittedly picked this up out of mild curiosity to see if I should check out the TV show, and verdict is still out. The characters are interesting, as is the premise, but I'm not sure I'm looking for the grim mood such post-apocalyptic works sink into - especially since the second book in the series is the prequel.
