Books to read - Unwind

This book had a great concept, but it wasnt as well written by the author as some of the others. The execution lacked something, although Im not exactly sure what it was. I dont think there will be a sequel, and if there was I'm not sure if I would read it since this book ends well and really shouldnt be continued.




 In light of the abortion debate, a second civil war breaks out. In the aftermath of the war the government has ruled that a family can decide between the ages of 13-17 whether or not they still want their child. If they don’t, they can choose to have their children “unwound,” which is the process of harvesting all of their body parts and giving them to a donor, thus not actually killing them. The story follows three children who’s stories intertwine when they are sent off for unwinding. Connors parents chose to send him away since he was an unruly child. Risa was a ward of the state and budgets do not allow them to keep untalented children. Lev was considered a “tithe” of one tenth of the family and was born entirely for the purpose of being unwound. They have to fight to live for just a few more years until they reach the glorious age of 18.
