Silo Origines

Au point que n'importe qui pouvait se retrouver aux commandes. Quelqu'un qui pouvait faire ce qui était correct, ou alors quelqu'un qui pouvait faire ce qui était juste. » Il faut attendre un peu pour que le lien avec les personnages de Silo s'établissent. Un suspens de plus. D'ailleurs toutes les questions ne sont pas résolues et ne serait-ce l'obstacle de l'épaisseur et de la densité d'Origines (mise en balance avec les 580 nouveaux romans de la rentrée littéraire…), il se rait tentant de le relire . My biggest problem was that I didn't care about the characters, especially the main character, Donald. Before the silos came into play, Donald was a senator. As far as what was happening and the role he played in it, I couldn't believe how clueless and dense he was. And after they were in the silos, all he seemed to do was whine and feel sorry for himself. Then he did something later in the book that completely turned me off toward him, not that it was much of a leap. Donald -- God I hated that guy. I swear the whole book is him having a pity party. I could handle it in the beginning (after all, horrible things happen to him) but by the third book I wanted to rip his head off. I know Donald is supposed to be a sympathetic character because he was duped and deceived, but let’s face it, he purposely tried to stay uninformed. That was his goal, to bury his head in the sand, even when obvious hints were thrown his way. I think he’s one of the biggest, redundant and whiney, woobie characters I’ve read in a long time. And the thing that finally tips him over the edge made my eyes roll. Turman’s been slaughtering people for years and Don finally decides to do something about it because he finally figured out that Anna purposely separated him from his wife? wtf?

What happened to the remaining people inside Silo 12? Were they all killed? How exactly was Silo 12 shut down? Was it the white fog? Or was the building itself destroyed? Or was it both? La conception des silos, les premières années, l'histoire de ses concepteurs et leur contrôle. Mais aussi l'histoire de Solo et on retrouvera naturellement Juliette en apparition guest star.

Visit BookSleuth I have to admit, though, I woke up this morning having completed 80% of it, thinking that I would read a little and be off to writing. Donald’s arc in Third Shift – Pact did not surprise enough to match the excitement of the first two books. It was already clear that he was angry with Thurman and Anna, and so his solution to those problems was only mildly surprising, and a little more disappointing. Donald has gone through a very difficult life, but his decisions in Third Shift went a direction that lessened empathy and support. On top of that, the silo numbers became confusing as far as their relation to the plot’s mystery.Pour chaque livre sur lequel j'écris un billet, j'attribue une note de plaisir (ou déplaisir) de lecture. It was great finally getting some answers and a more complete picture of 1. The conception of the Silos 2. The world outside 3. The other Silos and 4. The end goal of the Silos. O lume apăsătoare, sumbră și clocotind de disperare, o atmosferă claustrofobică și personaje aflate permanent pe muchia nebuniei - iată ce te așteaptă la fiecare pagină. Și frica. Frica viscerală, teroarea îmbibată de paranoia care va schimba omenirea pentru totdeauna.

Other elements don't work so well. It's partly down, I think, to the way the novel developed. It started life as a very good short story. That story grew as readers fell in love with the world Howey had created, and as he wrote, the tightness and the skill with which he began unravelled somewhat. He throws in a character – Lukas, a love interest for Jules – who rings false. And while mostly he writes well, sometimes he gets a bit flowery. At one point he indulges in some truly dire love poetry ("Wait for me. Wait for me. Wait there, my dear/ Let these gentle pleas find your ear"). I have shelved these stories science fiction, though these are much less science than they are simply human and somewhat tragic. Hugh Howey understands and portrays loneliness in a way I hope never to experience firsthand. He shows us how love, when it's desperate and dysfunctional, can ruin a relationship and perhaps even a civilization. Bottom line is that he "gets" people and shares his compassionate appreciation for our flaws and our well-intentioned missteps, even when this revelation is far from the sunbeams and rainbows we hope he'll provide. As the main character Donald is as bland as they come, showing no particular intelligence or personality to distinguish himself from the other cast members, who themselves have no distinctive personalities. Because of this I had a very hard time either identifying or sympathizing with anybody beyond their incredibly horrific circumstances (the one exception being Solo but only because he REALLY got the shaft, so to speak).

Of course, the reader knows that the two narratives must be connected, but it's a pleasure waiting for the pieces to match up. N'ayant pas encore lu le premier tome, je lis ton billet en diagonale mais le message principal est passé: il faut que je trouve le temps de me lancer dans cette série SF. istorija yra pusėtina, ypač kol buvo pasakojama, kaip atsirado šachtų idėja, kaip jos buvo statomos ir kas ta paslaptinga grėsmė/nelaimė/įvykis, dėl kurio šachtų projektas, arba, kaip išdidžiai jis buvo pavadintas dar pirmoje knygoje, pasaulio tvarkos projektas „penkiasdešimt“ buvo paleistas, bet vėliau pasakojimo kokybė krenta, labiausiai – dėl nuspėjamumo, tačiau ir kitos nuodėmės nepadeda. Personažai prastokai išvystyti, pačioms šachtoms dėmesio daug mažiau, ir apskritai pati knyga atrodo per daug išpūsta, ištempta.

Silo Origines - Howey, Hugh: 9782330056919 - AbeBooks

Well written, info dumpy preparations, debates, concepts, etc. for meta endeavors such as space colonization, a major war, an election campaign, or, going underground, are something that is often more a thing for hard sci-fi, because writers tend to avoid the extreme effort of putting any exposition in dialogue or action, instead of much easier static description, monologues, or omniscient narrator sequences. Our servers are getting hit pretty hard right now. To continue shopping, enter the characters as they are shown The narrator was ok. His main voice was pleasant enough, but I didn’t love all the voices he did to differentiate the POV characters and others. He did do a fine job with the British accent. Also, he actually said “Nuke-u-lar”. Ugh. And it wasn’t a character’s “voice”. Overall I would rate him about a 3 because he wasn’t horrible (except for Nuke-u-lar). Second Shift' also features two linked narratives. In one, we continue the drama in Silo One, between Donald, Senator Thurman, and his daughter, Anna, as Donald is awoken from cryosleep for his 'second shift.' In the other narrative, the action takes place in Silo 18, where we meet a young porter called Mission, who has never known any other world but that of his silo. The only inkling he and his contemporaries have had that things might once have been different are the stories of an elderly teacher, who tells fantastic tales - tales that seem unlikely, but at the same time, are sufficient to sow the seeds of discontent. And the society of Silo 18 may be increasingly unstable...Very savvy of the author to pen Shift after releasing Wool. The latter scooped me in immediately, whereas Shift took somewhat longer to lure me into its clutches. That's okay, I was already invested and there is a lot of information to be gleaned here. To those of you who want your Wool-ish questions answered, you can find them in Shift. Humanity clings to survival in the Silo, a subterranean city extending one hundred forty-four stories beneath the surface. The series initially follows the character of Holston, the sheriff of the Silo, with subsequent volumes focusing on the characters of Juliette, Jahns, and Marnes. An ongoing storyline of the series is the focus on the mystery behind the Silo and the secrets it holds. Staff Thoughts: If you already have editing experience, and you have an article relating to the Silo Saga to contribute, use the box below to create it: We have one ongoing character arc here which starts years before the silos. And three accompanying ones with some overlapping in between. A rather big overlapping in one case. But I don’t want to spoil anything. Neblogai, bet nieko labai blatno. Iš tikro, tai šita knyga, kaip pasakojimas, labai nukentėjo nuo to, kad tai yra priešistorė. Ir jei tai būtų tik priešistorė, tai ma ją šunės, bet kad ji dar nemažai persidengia ir su pirmąja knyga, ir tada gaunasi, kad skaitytojas faktiškai antrą kartą skaito apie tą patį. Na ir kas, kad iš kitos perspektyvos, kad pasakotojas kitas, vis tiek galų gale viskas susiveda į tą patį argumentą – antras kartas.

Silo - Origines — Wikipédia

I very rarely read science fiction but this series by Hugh Howey sounded so interesting I gave it a chance. The first book was Wool Omnibus which was a 5 star read for me and this second book in the series didn't disappoint either. What happened to the rest of the world? Was it just Georgia that was destroyed? Or was it all of America? What happened in other countries? Piper, München, 2013, , 531 S., Hardcover (gebunden), 8°, mit Schutzumschlag, , Einband: leicht bestoßen, Schutzumschlag: leicht bestoßen. Hugh manages to do it all with his usual engrossing style. Dare I say I'm pleased to be able to see his evolution as a writer through the entire series; as well-written as all of the Wool books were from the start, I think in Shift he takes his craft to a whole different level.Ne kiekvieną dieną rasi trilogiją, kurios viduryje – priešistorė, ir tai mane kiek baugino – imti ir dabar skaityti tai, kas buvo prieš. Ypač prisiskaičius neigiamų komentarų, dažnai rekomendavusių išvis šitą knygą praleisti. Bet aš niekaip neleisčiau sau paimti trečios dalies neperskaičiusi antros ir džiaugiuosi savo sprendimu. BOTTOM LINE: While the first half gave hope that this sequel could surpass Wool Omnibus, the story went downhill from there. Shift is still recommended for Wool fans, and it will not kill interest in reading the concluding volume even though it did not meet expectations.
