This was a dark but yet hopeful dystopian novel. It showed the evil of men but also how the good, through love, can shine through.

If there is one thing scarier than a dystopian novel about the future, it’s one written in the past that has already begun to come true.

"This is a Read Now book. Nothing dystopian about this one: a young (he’s 29), practical set of ideas for how the next generation can do better."

"I remember first reading this seminal book when I was fifteen — and it was so mind-opening. It envisions the dystopian future that we are currently living in."

A highly original dystopian novel
It's a sign of good book when you can't bring yourself to put it down, and Wool certainly fulfills this.

It's a fantastic and a different take on the dystopian future novel. It's claustrophobic and one of the few books I love that I'd actually like to see made into a (decent) film. There are some great characters, an intriguing premise and it just keeps you reading.

"This is an epic modern Scottish classic. Gray is a renowned artist as well as author and here he paints a dystopian Glasgow that is mesmerizing and terrifying in equal measures."
