In a future world where those between the ages of thirteen and eighteen can have their lives "unwound" and their body parts harvested for use by others, three teens go to extreme lengths to uphold their beliefs--and, perhaps, save their own lives.

    Never Let Me Go de Kazuo Ishiguro (meggyweg, Citizenjoyce, LAKobow)
    Citizenjoyce: The certainty of one's usefulness to others being accomplished only by the loss of one's life is present in both books.
    LAKobow: This also deals with dystopian organ donation

    Full Tilt de Neal Shusterman (librarylife59)
    librarylife59: Both of these books by Neal Shusterman depict a different world that should be hard to see as real, but somehow come across incredibly realistically. Fantastic reads!

I am using this book in the "Reread a Favorite Book of Yours" Category in Extreme Book Nerd.

I will never forget the first time that I read "Unwind." I did it in a Burgers and Books Teen Book Club years ago....and it led to one of the best pro life/pro choice discussions I have ever had. You would not expect this to be so (considering teenagers were involved) but it was. It is a book that has stuck with me over the years.

The concept is this: Every child is born....but then a parent can choose to have their child's life "unwound." Body parts are harvested and given to other people. So it is like they are still technically alive; they just might be alive in countless individuals. As you might imagine, there are those who accept being unwound and there are those who are against it to their core.

We meet Connor whose family chooses to unwind him. There is Risa who is a ward of the State. There is Lev who is a "tithe" (literally, his whole life was for the soul purpose of being an Unwind.) These characters converge and their lives are never the same.

I will admit that I have never read the rest of the series, which is weird considering that I adore the first book so much. This was the book that got me passionate about Neal Shusterman and by golly, do I eat his writings up. I don't want to review more (because I really want others to read this book). Just know that it is good! ( )

Unwind is a shocking and Grisly story of a futuristic sort of horror (especially if you are at the age of being unwound) what explores topics such as pro life, religion and humanity, it does so in a way that not only keeps the reader engrossed (reader being me...maybe not you... ) but also makes one think of the possibilities that are brought to the table.

Would I have lived (as a whole) till my 18th? PAH! fat chance!

Unwind follows a variety of people's point of view but mainly the three Unwinds known as Connor, Lev and Risa who all end up together in an escape to freedom. However escaping to freedom as an Unwind has its downfalls with a bounty strung up over their heads and Juvy cops hunting them down there isn't anywhere safe on the streets for an Unwind to....unwind (mentally speaking of course)

The characters in this book are full of depth and strong minded stubbornness that keeps them alive...or more specifically... not Unwound. It is their need for survival that keeps the pace of this book fast and formidable.

And when it comes to being unwound... well lets just say I found myself momentarily traumatised and while Shusterman takes you through the procedure, the horror of feeling myself being taken apart while fully concious was a little overwhelming, I had to stop reading after the chapter to take a moment to put myself back together.


Every step of this book feeds you the emotion of the characters, anger comes easily when one feels helpless... fear comes easier when your time is up.



Look out Amazon, I'm coming to buy Unwholly! ( )

A few of those scenes were far more intense than I was expecting. ( )
