Rife with action and suspense, this riveting companion to the perennially popular Unwind challenges assumptions about where life begins and ends–and what it means to live. Thanks to Connor, Lev, and Risa–and their high-profile revolt at Happy Jack Harvest Camp–people can no longer turn a blind eye to unwinding. Ridding society of troublesome teens while simltaneously providing much-needed … providing much-needed tissues for transplant might be convenient, but its morality has finally been brought into question. However, unwinding has become big business, and there are powerful political and corporate interests that want to see it not only continue, but also expand to the unwinding of prisoners and the impoverished.
Cam is a product of unwinding; made entirely out of the parts of other unwinds, he is a teen who does not technically exist. A futuristic Frankenstein, Cam struggles with a search for identity and meaning and wonders if a rewound being can have a soul. And when the actions of a sadistic bounty hunter cause Cam’s fate to become inextricably bound with the fates of Connor, Risa, and Lev, he’ll have to question humanity itself.

It gets so much darker, which is to be expected because of the issues involved in the series. If anything, the darker nature of the second book is necessary. There …
This book is an interesting sequel to ‘Unwind.’ Delving deeper into this world where ‘unwinding’ teenagers is considered not only normal, but acceptable, this book looks at even more disturbing concepts.
Meet a new batch of kids mixed in with old favorites. There’s cocky Starkey, a stork who thinks that Conner needs to step down. Then there’s …
Another amazing book in this series….I again found myself staying up all night to read…..I found myself lost in Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein and Lord of the flies and even part of a religious cult….I’m attached to the characters and am easily won over by newly introduced characters….I’m still not sure who or what the real villan …
New charecters amazing
Excellent dystopian
Another book to rock me to my very core. I was horrified at some of the things going on in this installment of the series. Particularly the events unfolding around Cam. My heart breaks for some of the kids at the Graveyard and especially for Risa and Connor as they continue their journeys. From the start something was off with other characters for …
