Unwind series



Unwind Series- Neil Shusterman
Dystopian Series
1.       Unwind
2.       Inwholly
3.       Unsouled
4.       Undivided

In a post Heartland War society, unwinding is now legal.  This means, if you are an unruly teenager between the ages of 13 and 17, you can be sent to a facility where they will give every part of your body to a person who needs it.  You will not technically be dead, because all your parts will be alive in someone else’s body, but you will no longer be yourself- “a divided state”.  This is what is supposed to happen to Conner and a group that he unwillingly thrown in with.  This four book series will lead you through an adventure of survival and a grassroots uprising of change.

The first book in the series, Unwind, was a fantastic ride.  The three hundred page book flies by, giving you twists and turns.  You can read the first book as a standalone book and feel as if you got a complete story.  The second and third books, Unwholly and Unsouled respectively, while interesting, do not hold the allure of the first.  They are more labored and not as quick to get through.  The final book, Undivided, does offer you the answers and drama that the middle books lack, and it brings back the excitement of the first.  Readers will be satisfied with the ending and give you a glimpse into what the future holds for the main characters you have come to love so much. This is being made into a movie that will be out in 2016!
