Anyone heard of this? Dystopian book series. Was put online and did so well it ended up in print and on NYT best sellers. I read the first book and it was really good. Halfway through the second book which is also really good.

It takes place 100s of years in the future. The air is toxic to all living things, everyone left lives in this massive 130 story underground silo. If you get in big trouble they send you outside to die. The author constructed a really fascinating world. 2nd book time jumps to a few events in the past such as how the world ended and the silo came about as well as a few other key events mentioned in the first book. 3rd book picks up where 1st book left off I think.

Highly recommend this if you like the genre.

I read them I loved the first two, the third falls apart a little but is still good. He has another one started called 'sand' that is also a dystopian future but very different.

sucks to hear book 3 doesn't live up to the excellence of 1&2, but since you say its still good I'll power through it.

Thanks for the info, you keep playing your cards like this and you might just find yourself at a baseball card show this summer as my personal guest.

Ha. Sadly, we are not coming back to Illinois as my oldest is dancing at a show at Disneyworld. So my family is all going to my mom's place in Florida. So the end of June is the time to try to scam free food at your favorite pizza place in Deerfield.
