Unwind is a great book. It is disturbing, fascinating and interesting.
This chilling novel grips you at your very core and leaves you wondering, what if? An excellent story line that is followed through to the very end. Characters that are not only well developed but believable.
Shusterman, knows how to keep you entertained and his writing knows how to make your toes curl and keep you outraged and hoping for the best possible outcome.
Expect to stay up late, finishing this book.
Grade: A
Synopsis
Connor, Risa, and Lev are running for their lives.
The Second Civil War was fought over reproductive rights. The chilling resolution: Life is inviolable from the moment of conception until age thirteen. Between the ages of thirteen and eighteen, however, parents can have their child "unwound," whereby all of the child's organs are transplanted into different donors, so life doesn't technically end. Connor is too difficult for his parents to control. Risa, a ward of the state is not enough to be kept alive. And Lev is a tithe, a child conceived and raised to be unwound. Together, they may have a chance to escape—and to survive.
