## Description

Three teens fight for their lives and each other in this breathtakingly suspenseful first book in the twisted, New York Times bestselling Unwind Dystology series by Neal Shusterman. After America’s Second Civil War, the Pro-Choice and Pro-Life armies came to an agreement. According to their Bill of Life, human life may not be terminated from the moment of conception until the age of thirteen. But between the ages of thirteen and eighteen, the child may be gotten rid of by their parent through a process called “unwinding.” By repurposing a teen’s organs and other body parts in living recipients, the unwound child’s life doesn’t technically end. According to society’s leaders, unwinding leads to a healthier and safer community, as troublesome and unwanted teens are used for the greater good. Conner is a rebel whose unwinding was ordered by his parents. Rita, a ward of the state, has been slated for unwinding due to cost cutting. And Lev, his parents’ tenth child, has been destined for unwinding since birth as a religious tithe. As their paths intersect, they start to fight for their own destinies. But do they stand a chance of escaping their fate or proving their lives are worth saving?

Review: Great dystopian - I am a sucker for a dystopian series and somehow this one had passed me by so i was excited to dive in. It is a particularly dark plotline which was definitely upsetting in places, but considering the debates happening in the world right now about women's reproductive rights this book was a very timely read for me. The book does have multiple points of view which made it much more interesting for me as i liked hearing from the different teenagers. You see how they ended up where they are and their reasons for different decisions and behaviours and you see them begin to grow. The story is thought provoking, chilling and heartbreaking and then there are also undercurrents of hope which push the reader to continue with the story. The characters are damaged and flawed and proud and scared and hopeful and feel very real. This book is by no means perfect, but the book had a physical effect on me and there were times i put the book down and just laid staring at the ceiling just considering what i had read. Some parts really did hit hard, one part in particular will probably stay with me forever. I will absolutely continue the series to see where the characters journeys take them and if they can make a change.
Review: Disturbing, Thought-Provoking And Intelligent. - For a relatively old fish in the dystopian pond right now, this book was surprisingly original, fantastically written and absolutely worth a read - there were moments for me when I held my breath, felt excited or had to keep it together instead of getting my heart stomped on. This book is clever and you need to read it. Imagine a World in which mistakes are rectified, abortion is forbidden and new laws mean that, if you feel like you've just bitten off more than you can chew and had just one too many kids than you can cope with, that you can just get rid of it. Or leave it on a neighbours doorstep and it be socially accepted and legalised. Imagine a situation in which you need a transplant. Forget the waiting. Those times are gone. Now there are endless supplies of organs just waiting for you to buy. Even if you just want a new eye colour. Or hands that know how to paint. Crazy right? It's diabolical, makes me feel sick just thinking about it and made my brain whir for hours afterwards. In Connors world though, this is commonplace. In fact his family have been "Storked" plenty of times by neighbours not wanting their newest addition. But Connor is a rebellious teenager. And his parents really want that trip to the Maldives; Connor is about to be Unwound. That's right, he's been signed away by his parents for his organs to live on in someone else. You see, the people of this generation believe this isn't manslaughter. Oh no, it's just transferring of your soul, in bits, to others. No death involved...right? The only catch was that all children must be unwound before they turn eighteen and become an adult. Risa is a ward of the state. Her parents didn't claim her. But the state home doesn't have space for another girl who plays piano. They have mouths to feed. So Risa is declared ready to be unwound too. Oh and Lev, well he's slightly different. You see, rather than Spring it on him at the last minute, Lev's parents have chosen to Tithe Lev. This basically means that they've sacrificed Lev from the goodness of their hearts. For God. And Lev is effectively brainwashed into thinking this is cool. All three main characters have a unique story, which somehow blend really wonderfully together. I think Shusterman writes so intelligently. He pulled me in immediately with short chapters, fast pacing and a particular knack for surprisingly me by doing the unexpected. No characters path was straight forward to me, no fork in the road became too obvious to see coming and he had no issue with damaging key characters here and there. What I liked most was the moral dilemma. I like that this concept is structured by rules, to make it easier for me to believe. But I think the best part was the human corruption within. It is difficult to imagine, in a world where these things are allowed, how commonplace unwinding would be. And I loved questioning human nature and where my own beliefs fell within this. A large part of the book, the latter end, was hard to read. Not because it was bad. But because it was so so good! There's a particular scene many reviewers have mentioned which really left me with goosebumps feeling sick and doubting whether I could read on but knowing some sick part of me had to see it through. Ultimately this book is disturbing, thought provoking and challenges you to think about what you might feel, or do, given a similar situation. The world is well fleshed out and the characters are easy to connect with - something I find essential to actually continue with a book. My only complaint was that some of the story lines were disjointed. At times characters would appear somewhere without the reader being shown how they got there - a bit difficult when it really is a massive change in situation for a character. Nevertheless, a really good read and I can't wait to see, given how explosive the ending was, what happens next!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing - I could not put it down!
*by S***H on 26 May 2012*

(Source: I borrowed a copy of this book.) 16-year-old Connor is destined to be unwound. What's that? Well following a pro-life/pro-choice war, the government passed a new law - abortions are illegal, children are protected `til age 13, but between the ages of 13 and 18 a child can be `unwound' - taken to pieces and re-used in other people. This means that no child actually dies - their constituent parts live on. Yeah right! Tell that to the poor kids being unwound! Connor messed up a bit when he was younger, Risa was a ward of the state - and there were budget cuts, and Lev was a tithe (his parents were unwinding him as a way to give back to god/ humanity!). Irrespective of their reasons for being unwound, all three find themselves on the run, and thrown together through circumstance. Finding themselves in unusual circumstances and strange places along the way, they grow in ways they never would have otherwise, and question what being alive or having a soul is really about. But when it comes to the chop, which is worse; to die, or to be unwound? Wow! That is one of the first things that comes to mind with this book. I absolutely could not put it down, and when I did put it down I couldn't stop thinking about it! The book has an eerie dystopian setting, which is unsettling in the way that the reasons for the changes in society are ultimately understandable! Which is very scary! The idea of unwinding is sickening, whilst at the same time makes a disgusting sort of sense. Why abort a child that you can allow to grow up, and then harvest for parts? Parts that are desperately needed! And what an interesting argument - if all the parts live on, then has the child really died? There are loads of questions like this posed in the book; with tricky subjects such as life and death, the human soul, and religion all touched upon. It is truly an emotional experience to get an insight into each childs life and viewpoint, and to see how they view the idea of their own unwinding, and ultimately their own death. It is also interesting to see how much each child is willing to fight to preserve their life, and really does make for an absorbing read. I have to say that at times I did feel physically sick though - especially the chapter where we follow a child through the operation to be unwound (the child is conscious throughout), especially given the fact that we are told that this child is taken to pieces and ultimately redistributed in just 3 hours 19 minutes. How wrong that an entire life can be disassembled into constituent parts and ultimately ended, in such a clinical fashion, in a little over three hours. Overall, I enjoyed this book, and the ideas that it provoked, (even the sickening ones) and I think anyone with an interest in young-adult, dystopian stories will really enjoy this. 9 out of 10.
