Neal Shusterman
In the next part of Neal Shusterman's gripping and thought-provoking futuristic thriller, Connor, Lev and Risa continue to uncover shocking secrets about the process of 'Unwinding' and the company, Proactive Citizenry, which created Cam, a teen made completely from parts taken from 'unwound' teens. There are plans to mass produce rewound teens like Cam for military purposes, and below the surface of that potential horror lies a sinister layer of intrigue… Proactive Citizenry has been suppressing technology that could make unwinding completely unnecessary. Will Connor, Lev and Risa ever be able to break free from the fear of Unwinding? Praise for Unwind: "Following in the footsteps of Jonathan Swift, Shusterman uncorks a Modest Proposal of his own…" Booklist "Gripping, brilliantly imagined futuristic thriller… The issues raised could not be more provocative - the sanctity of life, the meaning of being human - while the delivery could hardly be more engrossing or better aimed to teens." Publishers Weekly, starred review "a powerful, shocking, and intelligent novel... It's wonderful, wonderful stuff." thebookbag.co.uk "This is the kind of rare book that makes the hairs on your neck rise up. It is written with a sense of drama that should get it instantly snapped up for film." The Times

"Really good read"

"He did it again. Can we please get a round of applause for Neal Shusterman? I'm 99.9% sure his hobbies consist of autopsy procedures and skeleton assembling because his books are CREEPY and messed up. Those are understatements. This book was fantastic though. Cam is the reason I have inner turmoil Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde style. Like part of me loves him and feels super sorry for him because of Pro-whatchamacallit but the rest of me hates him because of Risa and all that. Before I forget, lemme just say I ship him and what's her face, Una? I think. Yeah. Lev is an idiot and I just wanna smack him. This kid has his moments but the rest of the time he is about the dullest tool in the shed. While were on the subject of hate, STARKEY. He needs to be unwound and there is not a thing to change my mind. He is smart and cunning and had he not been sent to be unwound, he would've become the next Hannibal Lector. End of discussion. I mean, those girls?!? And the hanging deal?!? Ughh, I would uunwind him myself. Changing gears, Risa. I missed her lots. She barely had any parts, and she was kinda dumb when she did but it all worked out. Hayden. Oh Hayden. I love that guy. He's got some sort of plan going, I just know it. Maybe he's trying to invent printers like you-know-what. Connor. As much as I love Connor, I think he needs to die at the end of the next one after becoming a hero so that all is well. Like I really think it should happen. He was not at his best through this book, but under the circumstances it's understandable. And where the smack was Miracolina throughout this? Do. Not. Tell. Me. Nelson. Really. Got. Her. and she's unwound. That is not okay. No no no no no. And Cam better have a satisfying ending of sorts."

"The ending made me cry. I’m not sure why it wasn’t particularly sad but everything fit together so beautifully. This isn’t even the end of the series but it’s tied so much together already."
