And below the surface of that horror lies another shocking level of intrigue: Proactive Citizenry has been suppressing technology that could make unwinding completely unnecessary. Proactive Citizenry, the company that created Cam from the parts of unwound teens, has a plan: to mass produce rewound teens like Cam for military purposes. (Bonus: Miracolina.)īook three: love this series.Teens control the fate of America in the fourth and final book in the New York Times bestselling Unwind dystology by Neal Shusterman. (Bonus: includes the most disturbing scene I’ve ever read in YA ever.)īook two: even better. There’s so much to think about– and so many wonderful characters, the three primary characters being Connor, a would-be Unwind on the run Risa, a state ward being unwound due to budget cuts and Lev, a “tithe,” the tenth child of his religious family, who has been raised his whole life to believe that his unwinding will be a gift back to God.īook one: awesome.
I like my contemporaries with great characters and lots of emotional processing. High-octane action and adventure? Not really my thing. This is not seen as the equivalent of killing a teen because all of their parts are still technically alive instead, they are “living in the divided state.”ĭystopian novels are not really my thing. The agreement that everyone has come to is this: abortion is illegal, but when your child is a teenager, you can choose to have him/her “unwound”– that is, every part of their body will be used for organ donation. They take place in the future, years after the Heartland War (between the Pro-Life and Pro-Choice movements). My question: how in the world am I gonna wait that long?
There are four books in the Unwind dystology– the fourth and final installment is scheduled to be released fall 2014.
