UNWIND I think you should read this book for three main reasons. There is plenty of action and heart pounding events; first because Connor gets into fights and just when you think everything is helpless and cannot get any better; Risa will make a plan and resolve the problem. Second, Lev is a little kid that turns from good to evil playing mischevious tricks on Connor and Risa, but then becoming one of them. Third, you cannot stop reading this book, if you try to stop you just keep going anyways because every thing that happens gives you an answer and a clue to what comes next. Plus, every action in the story leads to another while answering another, because all of the facts have a domino effect; unsolved until the end. Here is more explanation on why I think you should read this book. To begin with, I’ll talk about the concept of the whole story. At age twelve you can be unwounded by your parents because you’re the start of a teen and your parts are big enough or you’re a bad kid they do not like. Then if you are unwound, you must run away and hide because police will look for you and send you to be unwound. You have to keep a low profile for six years until you are eighteen because you’re an adult and cannot be unwound. That is the basic idea of the story. Concurrently, I’ll talk about the characters Connor, Lev and Risa. I believe that their emotions shake up the story because it gives you their perspectives. To add, how they all act really connects to the story because the story goes on in either direction depending on the characters actions. Last, the way they feel and act is a perfect combination because each character has an important part of the story; so the way they act effects how they do things. That is why I think you should read this book. Simultaneously, I’ll tell you about the beginning of the story. The book tells of all three of their childhoods because the author wants you to know why they are sent to be unwounded. Next, it is all of their plans to escape and run away because you need to know how they did it. Then, when they all escape, Risa is on a bus that crashes because Connor was caught in the back of a trucker’s truck, ran in front of it and stole Lev as a hostage. They all ran together in the woods as far away as possible, only running into one AWOL which Connor took care of. That is the intro of the book. Meanwhile, I’ll tell you a little on how they survive. They go to many safe houses because you go through a long process to get to the end. Then they get sent to an island named the graveyard because that’s the last stop and you will stay there till you are eighteen. Next they have to work there because that is how they own their keep. Connor and Risa are becoming popular there and in the end Connor, Risa, and Lev do something remarkable. That is how they survived to be eighteen and Connor in charge with Risa and Lev to a new life. In closing, I will give you a brief summary of the middle of the story. In some time the characters split up, Connor and Risa with their baby, and Lev all alone because he ran away. During his alone time he meets a kid named CyFy because they were on the same path and taught each other ways of life. CyFy is half good and half bad because he is a good person but has a bad a persons brain. At the same time, Connor and Risa have a brake up because of Connor’s fighting. I won’t give anything else up so that is why I think and believe you should read the book Unwind by Neal Shusterman.
