Hugh Howey Lives by Daniel Arthur Smith
3.0
I saw Hugh Howey and I had to read, and that might have hindered my enjoyment of this story. In my mind I kept trying to see Howey in the writing and of course that is so not the point.
The story line and premise of 'Hugh Howey Lives' is quite intriguing, if not a bit creepy. The sociological elements of why they have stories set up as they do, is the most interesting part yet doesn't really get hinted at until the end. And part of me is a bit irked about how complicit everyone is.
I personally did not connect with either of the main two characters but I can see where they are coming from. At the same time, once again, I was constantly unhappy with them as well.
I have so many mixed emotions about this story. My brain did a lot of thinking. This, of course, was nothing of what I expected and I'm not sure if that is a good thing or a bad one.
