This was one of the most tedious books I've read in a long while. I was surprised at this because it has a lot of fans. In fact, the book was originally self-published as short stories and novellas and then after huge success, the stories were combined into one omnibus when it was finally picked up by a major publisher. The author went on to write two more books in what's now called the Silo series. But I just didn't like it. The pacing as mostly painstakingly slow. The only parts that felt like they moved were the beginning and the end. I didn't connect with most of the characters. And most of all, it felt derivative: the old meme of people living underground after an apocalyptic event.
