Unwind by Neal ShustermanMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
When children can be 'unwound' after they turn a certain age, the lines of what is right and wrong are blurred. A war changed everything and human life was offered as a token for survival, that we never really die if we're unwound. For those who have been healed with those who have been unwound, they live on within us. Millions of lives are saved but at what cost?
The story caught me from the very being to be honest. There's not too many male characters that I cheer for very often but the first character Conner caught me from the very beginning. Risa was the second. Lev not so much but I still felt for the poor kid. Their stories entwined so drastically I never knew what was actually going to happen next.
The plot line kept me guessing and I love stories like that. It also got me thinking and part of me was a little freaked out at the unwinding. I was curious when I read about it but when the time finally came, I was disturbed and thought at how horrible it actually was. Sure it saves lives but at that cost? And what of the memories of the unwound? I couldn't have it.
All in all, I'd definitely read this story again and any after that!
