This is definitely a book you can read in one day. The writing was beautiful and story was absolutely compelling! I woke up in the middle of the night after reading this novel and began analyzing the characters. I seriously can't express how much this novel stuck with me. This is a beautiful portrayal of a family and how past events have shaped each of them into who they are in present day.

Under the advisement of a counselor, a 15-year-old boy with Asperger's Syndrome writes a novel about his experiences, thoughts, and feelings. He novel shows how his mind works and how he deals with everyday situations. It also shows how his family struggles and adapts to his certain habits, dislikes, and passions.
I listened to the audiobook version, which has been highly recommended, and it didn't disappoint. The narrator was phenomenal!

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.

[Toychest] by [Lance Milham] is an excellent debut novel from a young author. The characters are the main part of the story and they keep the plot moving at a good pace. The way he shows that evil people exist everywhere and even good can become evil is subtle. The idea that everything as consequences is throughout this novel. [Milham] has a very creative mind and I look forward to reading more from him.

Someone should have definitely put it out there that this novel would make the Last Jedi make a little more sense. This novel introduces Hondo, and Leia's first mission. Gray, once again, has Leia on point, and the filmmakers should have definitely consulted her before writing their own script.
Anyway, if you want to understand who Hondo actually is, and why she was so close to Leia, you should definitely give this a read.

I really enjoyed this novel and am still a bit surprised that it still hasn't been made into a movie. I thought the concept was pretty creative, and this first novel in particular was well told.
On the other hand, I do feel that the series drops off a bit in the subsequent books. They all connect seamlessly, and the stories are all satisfying, just not as engaging as some of its contemporary YA novels.
