Unwind by Neal Shusterman

Unwind by Neal Shusterman- 335 pgs

I read Unwholly last week and that made me want to go back and re-read Unwind.  There has been a second world war fought between Pro-Life and Pro-Choice camps.  An agreement was reached where the sanctity of life is protected from conception to the age of 13.  From 13-18 years old, children can be "unwound" so there parts can be used in other ways.  Lose an arm, get a new from an unwound.  Suffer a brain injury, that can be replaced, too.  For many parents, unwinding has become a way to to do away with trouble children.  For orphanages, they are a form of budget cuts.  For some families, unwinding is tithing a child to God.  Conner, Risa and Lev all fit into one of these categories and their lives intertwine in ways they never expected.

This book was just as good the second time around.  I would highly recommend this and Unwholly and I can't wait to get my hands on Unsouled.
