In a society where unwanted teens are salvaged for their body parts, three runaways fight the system that would “unwind” them Connor’s parents want to be rid of him because he’s a troublemaker. Risa has no parents and is being unwound to cut orphanage costs. Lev’s unwinding has been planned since his birth, as part of his family’s strict religion. Brought together by chance, and kept together by … by desperation, these three unlikely companions make a harrowing cross-country journey, knowing their lives hang in the balance. If they can survive until their eighteenth birthday, they can’t be harmed — but when every piece of them, from their hands to their hearts, are wanted by a world gone mad, eighteen seems far, far away. In Unwind, Boston Globe/Horn Book Award winner Neal Shusterman challenges readers’ ideas about life — not just where life begins, and where it ends, but what it truly means to be alive.

Great book! the author could have defiantly been more descriptive though. Its good to leave room for the imagination but You also want to enjoy reading about the characters thoughts and actions in description. Thus I was left slightly unsatisfied with the plain vocabulary:( The plot though was incredible! Pure genius! its something original, dark, …
I love the creativity that this book demonstrates and I really recommend reading this book because it will have you hooked.
My only downfall I have with it really isn’t downfall of the book but of my own. I’ve had this series ( The whole series) on my shelf for more than a year and am now just getting around to reading it. How could I wait that long to read this Masterpiece of the World created where we send children off to become spare parts to control overpopulation. …
WOW. I loved this book. The plot is complex and exciting, the characters are flawed (in other words, human), and the circumstances are believable. The idea of unwinding is just terrible, but somehow it is common practice in this world. There are a lot of details I won’t mention because I wouldn’t want to spoil this book. But, the most intense and …
I love it when I find a new YA author and series that I can sink my teeth into, and Neal Shusterman’s “Unwind” series is all that AND a bag of chips!
Shunsterman does an amazing job of world-building with the ideas behind teens being ‘unwound’ after hitting a certain age, and what happens to the unwound parts at that point. For dystopian YA …
WOW! WOW! WOW!
Unwind is despicable in the most gorgeous of ways. Unwind is well written, unnerving, and a page-turner. Hell, Unwind blows up its pages.
The Unwind Dystology series is written for teens. I don’t care what age group it’s written for any reader of any age that enjoys dystopian universes, science fiction, and horror will enjoy this …
Wow Just Wow!! I read this with my 14yr old son. It was his book club book for school durning quarantine. After reading the summary I just had to read it as well. I couldn’t imagine being a kid having to live in a world of Unwinding anyone let alone children! So twisted! Yep, I cried while reading a “certain” part of this book! My son and I …

I read books all the time. And of all the books i have read this is the best book ever! I couldn´t put this down. I still wait for a serious as good as this one.
This was the first book I fell in love with.
AVOID!!! ABSOLUTELY BRUTAL, SICKENING AND TWISTED!!! DON’T READ!!!
I HATED this book!
It was assigned as reading for my kid in middle school, so I read it first to see if it was age appropriate due to the book’s descriptive information inside of the books cover, and since we’re already dealing with family deaths due to cancer, and ongoing …
I don’t think that I can put into words the love that I have for this book, but I will certainly try my best. This book is special. Unique. Without a doubt, this book is like nothing that I have read before. I wasn’t really certain what to expect when I picked it up. To be simply honest, I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it. The concept sounded …
This book is wonderful! It has suspense and drama.
It has it all, comedy, romance, action, and adventure. It will keep you wanting to read more. The characters get introduced in a interesting way and you get to see from their views, as well as the outsiders.
I read this book after accidentally clicking BUY WITH 1-CLICK on Amazon. You know, I bought it. Now, I gotta read it. This is the first book I’ve read, read the whole series, then immediately went back to read the first book, again. Ever.
THE SCENARIO: In the not too distant future, the PRO-LIFE & PRO-CHOICE factions have gone to war and signed a …
A fantastic start to a fantastic series. First, I have to say, the Unwind Dystology is my favorite book series, and it all started with Unwind back in high school. I loved it then, but I love it even more since the series has been completed. It. Is. A. Masterpiece. Now on to my feelings about this first book.
Unwind is an emotional roller …
Amazing
Incredibly impactful and insightful demonstration of the absurdity of extreme positions and unreasonable dedication to those who believe its their way or the highway…
My favorite series of 2018.
