So, I will stop grumbling about the plot holes. I like our protagonist, Juliette (played by Jennifer Garner in my head), she's a strong kick-ass woman, like the Mayor (played by Helen Mirren), and I will always be charmed by a couple of those kinds of characters. I like the idea of the silo, it is clever and sinister all at once, which a post-apocalyptic world should always be. The other thing about the post-apocalyptic fictional world is that there is scope for it to go on and on, which this world certainly has. Sequels and prequels have already been written to the five books I have read, and I am sure Howey could go on and on. I think I would watch the movie, if only to grumble at the casting not being as good as it was in my head, but I do not think I will be reading any more of the novels.
