Read by Tiffany: Published before The Hunger Games, but very much in a similar vein - dystopian future in which youth are exploited. In the case of Unwind it is for medical resources, and a peace accord between the Right To Life Army and the Choice Brigade. Interesting and disturbing concept. Nice k...

I've been a fan of Neal Shusterman ever since I read What Daddy Did. I think one sign of a good book is how long readers remember it and I read that title when it first came out in 1991. This book is very compelling and offers social commentary as well as a gripping story. I get tired of too many dy...

I so could not really focus and get into the story, i guess it wasn't for me as far as stories go. But it did keep my attention just it didn't excite me to read it and not put it down.

Unwind is finally a YA novel that packs a serious moral punch. It delves into the idea of life and death - discussing such ideas as abortion and euthanasia through a plot which could be seen as ethically allegorical in its own right. Yet, even despite this being a novel which relies on its deep conc...

Reproductive rights has always been a sensitive topic people love to avoid, but Neal Shusterman confronts it in such an unbelievable way it becomes accessible. The best part is how he throws in all of these key elements to the "discussion" (beyond just the black and white polarity) without making it...

wow... just wow. I did not expect this at all. I did know it was a dystopian and that's all. I added it to my TBR because of that, and because of the high ratings, and that's it. I should stick to Dystopian written by male authors. And this is said by someone who reads mostly female authors. ...

Now that the kittens in my brain are sleeping, I have to admit, this was far from perfect. There are conflicts of human behavior and logic that will throw some readers off, but I simply cannot deny how easy it was for me to get with the Neal Shusterman program and enjoy this ride. I was very relucta...

Unwind is a book not easily forgotten, and one that I'm surprised I haven't heard more about. With dystopian novels in high demand, this one should be getting more attention. It's at least as good as Hunger Games and soars above Divergent. This novel takes place in the not-too-distant future after...

I'm going to cut straight to the point and tell you all that this is my current favorite book. Now I like a lot of books but this one tops them all. 5/5 stars Summary: The Bill of Life states that human life may not be touched from the moment of conception until a child reaches the age of thir...
