I cannot understand why some books get hyped up to crazy levels when they are just really tedious and disappointing! I wanted to love this series. I think it's an original idea and I think it could make a brilliant movie. But as a book it felt flat to me. I felt like much of the story and dialogue was stilted and went into too much tedious detail but then other parts - like the parts that should have been super exciting with lots of detail were lacking. By the end of this long slog I didn't care about any of the characters at all and I also don't feel like we ever really found out enough about the how and why they ended up in the silos in the first place? I hate long books that leave you feeling unsatisfied.

Much better than Shift. Nice competition to the series.
