I picked this book up as a consequence of seeing the first episode of the Apple TV+ adaptation - and I couldn’t be more pleased. The pacing is perfect, keeping you constantly on your toes wondering what’s coming next, with the reveal of the truths about the existence of the Silo delivered at exactly the right times in the story. The characterisation is strong - and the lead character is one you truly root for.

3 stars

This story is like a Twilight Zone episode: it's short and has some interesting ideas, but it's shallow and doesn't make very much sense.

It's worth the two bucks and 30 minutes I spent on it, but no more than that.
