There's this book, Unwind. And ... you have to read it. It's just one of those books that you HAVE to read. This book shook me to my very core. The concept more than the writing, though the writing isn't bad at all.

Conner'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 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 listeners' ideas about life - not just where life begins, and where it ends, but what it truly means to be alive.

That wasn't written by me. I got it from here

But, yeah. It's an amazing read. I couldn't put it down, and that's saying a lot considering I normally finish one to three books in a week during the school year, and when I'm off of school I can get as many as six books finished a week.

Just go get it and read it. You'll thank me.
