I found the first half of Wool to be very good and the rest of it readable, although just barely so. Howey is a terrible writer with interesting plot ideas. Howey has a compulsion to explicitly tell you in minute details through every other passage exactly what is on everyone&#x27;s mind. The concept of using symbolism and actions to portray people seems lost to him. His sentence structure is terrible. He&#x27;s saved by Wool&#x27;s very interesting idea and the first chapter of Wool was admittedly very good. I read the entire series and I really think at a high level his ideas a very interesting, but he just doesn&#x27;t really have the skill required to write well. I am not sure an editor would help, maybe a co-author.
