Even when the author TRIED to explain it when the depressing sheriff was sent out
How did you like the story?
I think this book could have been so much better than it was. The writing (at times) was captivating. The descriptions were vivid and rich. However, I just didn't...get it.I cannot see people living in a silo which has a bazillion floors and no elevator. First of all, there are no silos big enough. Yes, this is sci-fi/dystopian but dang! At least make the setting halfway believable. Second, I never saw the point of the criminals having to clean the window-mirror things when they were cast out into the toxic world. Even when the author TRIED to explain it when the depressing sheriff was sent out, it made no sense.This book wasn't for me. Maybe if I took a chance on the second in the series, some questions I have would be answered. Honestly, I don't want to waste my money. I understand cliff-hangers and leaving the readers wanting more, but the first book has to at least make sense for me to read the second.
