Review: Gripping and inventive

But what else would be expect from Hugh Howey? I enjoyed the tale and read it through in one sitting. The 4-star rating is mainly because, while I got a lot of the theme, there were still key things I missed (like the significance of the title) until I read the author's response to a comment. I think a little more put into the story would have elicited that without having to read the comments on reviews. However, it was a deep and thought provoking tale with interesting characters and a very timely (with the Olympics) reflection on what drives us and how far we let ambition and glory change us. Very highly recommended.
