I loved it!!! amazing plot full of twisted minds!! what could be better?!?!?!?! XD

Joy ride of a creepy story! I can't wait to read part 2! Loved the part when the Admiral reunited all the people who were recipients of his son's body parts and his son was there. Can't wait to read what becomes of Roland now that he's been "unwound". It seems he should have some role in part 2. I don't think "unwinding' is going to last very long in their society.

I LOVE THIS BOOK! didnt think i was going to like it but after a couple of pages i got hooked and i couldnt stop reading it :) i also love the way the book was written which was a first for me because it involved many different perspectives not just one.

love this book!

The idea was good, and the plot is good. The characters leave a lot to be desired, but that's probably because I'm not the target audience.

Really good. Well developed characters and story line with some thought-provocking twist. I didn't find it at all far-fetched as we hear debates about when and what it means to be alive.

This was my first Neal Shusterman book and I gotta admit, this writer knows what he's doing. Definintely something I'd watch as a movie too :)

After I read the Hunger Games trilogy and started reading the Gone series, I picked up Unwind from the library. Although it took me a while to get into the story (cause the other two series' stories stuck in my head), this book is amazing! I am looking forward to read the second one which suppose to come out next fall! (Don't worry, this book has an open-ending!)

Very good, most unnerving and a real thrill ride. Check out the author interviews on Youtube. Good for teens. (14 and up)

Unwind by Neal Shusterman is a disconcerting look at how the abortion question is answered in the future.. After a civil war is fought over pro-life issues, laws are passed that protect human life from the moment of conception to the age of thirteen, when the parents get to decide whether to keep the child or to “Unwind” him. The unwinding is a process whereby all useful organs are harvested from the child. Of course this leads to all manner of other problems such as storking, where a unwanted baby is left on a random doorstep, and supposedly must be taken in. And AWOL’s who are children meant to be unwound but manage to escape and go into hiding. If these children can survive until they turn eighteen, they are safe. There appears to be a lot of candidates for Unwinding. The over-populated government run group homes pass on a certain percentage, people who wish to be free of storked children, religious fanatics who donate a child to be unwound as a tithe or donation to God, and of course, those troubled teens whose families just can’t deal with them anymore. Although the premise is far-fetched and I personally couldn’t see either pro-life or pro-choice activists settling for this solution, I found myself willing to suspend my disbelief as I became totally invested in this dystopian story of teens trying to escape their unwinding. There were definitely parts of this book that were difficult to read, and, I was left feeling a little dissatisfied by the ending, I guess I thought as this is a YA story everything would be tied up neatly at the end. Nevertheless, Unwind is a good story that manages to pose some very interesting questions.
