About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

NOW THE NO.1 DRAMA IN THE HISTORY OF AppleTV+, SILO.


In a ruined and hostile landscape, in a future few have been unlucky enough to survive, a community exists in a giant underground silo.

Inside, men and women live an enclosed life full of rules and regulations, of secrets and lies.

To live, you must follow the rules. But some don't. These are the dangerous ones; these are the people who dare to hope and dream, and who infect others with their optimism.

Their punishment is simple and deadly. They are allowed outside.

Jules is one of these people. She may well be the last.

You may notice a few reviews that aren’t fully positive and I understand completely why. There is a lot of heartache for the reader in this book, connections you make with certain characters who die, unforeseen tragedy’s etc. But it is within this notion that this book shines. Life is unpredictable, happy endings aren’t always guaranteed.

This book is a MUST listen

at certain parts it was fast back and forth which was hard to keep a track of

how captivating the story was always kept you on the edge of your seat.

Slow to start with but had to stick it out as I had already bought the whole trilogy. Picked up around ch 30 and glad I didn't put it away. Looking forward to the rest. A few people complained about monotone. I loved the voice. It is a serious book, not a famous 5 mystery. I think the narrators voice did it justice.
