I read the book Unwind by Neal Shusterman, who also wrote
Everlost. Everlost is very similar to Unwind in the sense that they’re both
about worlds that do not exist. Unwind is about a compromise that was made
after war saying that between the ages of 13 and 18 parents can choose to have
their children sent to “harvest camps” and later unwound, dissembling their
bodies and keeping parts for later use.
Power and ethics are both big themes in this book.
Unwind is about three teens who are unwanted by their
families, Connor, who is being unwound because hes always in trouble, Risa, who
is being unwound because the orphanage can no longer afford her, and Lev, who
is a tithe, meaning he is one of his tenth siblings who is being sacrificed for
religious purposes. The three of them come together by coincidence, and end up
going across the country together to a place where they are told they will
remain safe until their 18th birthday, and they cannot be harmed by the
government.
I would recommend this book to others because its easy to
get caught up in our society and our problems, so its nice to step out and
realize our world could be much worse, and to explore the way others do or
could live their lives. I think this is a great book for anyone to read,
definitely a page turner!

this I will probably not read as it seems that I have too many books to read but it seems very interesting. this book is saying it in a world that does not exist, seems like one of those that are fiction. But no, it sounds like ours in a corrupted state. This story seems like it would be an interesting to horror books but also wraps around you like a way of saying its like a mystery. so if your a fan of Stephen King movies, like me, I would recommend this to people like that.
ReplyDeleteThis book seems very interesting I have read the first chapter of this book and it seemed really good. This book sounds really good because it has a lot of action with it and a lot mystery's n this book. This book reminds me of this book I read a while ago it had a lot of action mystery in it was really good I enjoyed that book and I hope I enjoy this book when I get it from the library
ReplyDeleteI think this would be a good book for me to read, because just reading the review I was very interesting. I don't like when books have dull moments, which is seems like this book lacks them. That is another main reason I think I would really enjoy reading this book. This book sounds intriguing because I want to know, did the three teens survive? I was really drawn in by the plot to this book, and I don't think I would be able to put the book down. I don't have anything to make connections to, other than maybe "The Maze Runner", because the author had the same idea of taking teens. Overall, I think this would be a very interesting book to read.
