Shift

 This is the second book in Hugh Howey's series "Wool" and its name is Shift and the third is called Dust. I absolutely love this book, it is so intriguing and has such an amazing plot to it.

Spoilers ahead (in case you ever read the book :P)

We meet Senator Donald Keene in Georgia around the year 2049. He has been given the tedious task to design a structure that would allow people to live underground for centuries and he has no clue why but he is just doing what he is told to do. At the same time we have an alternative plot going on that is in 2110 and revolves around a character named Troy and we know he is in charge of Silo 1. It goes back and forth between this two characters until Troy says one word, "Donald". The first part ends and we meet a whole new set of characters and we don't hear of Troy and Donald for awhile. As far as I've read, Troy is awaken from cryo-sleep and is told stuff is going south and they need him. I'll leave you with that cliff hanger.

I totally recommenced anyone to read this, it's 600 pages but you'll enjoy every single page of it (hah that's a lie but you'll really enjoy) and I am on 200 or so and it's intense and crazy and to think that's not even half way through the book! See ya in a few weeks.

Continuation of 451 - Mrs. Bowles

      I dashed out of Montag's house knowing that I would never be going back there. How dare he assault me like that, doesn't he know that others have feelings too? I just wanted to go home and be alone so I could cry after that nightmare. Only if it was just a dream. On second thought, the fire station is just down the street, I can make him pay for what he said to me. Montag, a fireman who reads books, an own contradiction to his job, what a great story this will make.

     Oh how sweet this will be. Then deep down, I realized how true those words were. I kept trying to walk towards the firehouse but all the thoughts kept flying around like a rouge tornado, flying back and forth between true and false. Am I really alone? No. My 'family' loves me. Why would Montag read that? Maybe he just wanted to hurt me, he saw I was vulnerable and took the shot. How dare him. The thoughts kept racing back in forth and I had no idea what I was doing. I broke out in tears and fell to the ground. C'mon Mrs. Bowles, he hurt you and you need to make him pay. Why are those words so true. Why do I not want to get back at him? My questions kept coming and coming.

    The firehouse was so close, I could feel the heat coming off of it, like a safe-haven where I could tell them everything that had just happened. He broke the rules and something needed to be done. I couldn't make up my mind, the door was right there, I wanted to open it but I couldnt. He might of hurt me but I wasn't ready to ruin his life. That had been an eye-opener for me and I realized that he shouldn't be the one to set me into gear, but rather I need to be the one who takes the initiative. I decided to turn around and keep walking. Not knowing where to go.
