One of his best. A very creepy concept in a fast paced book.

VERY good book. I enjoyed every second of it, and the sequel, called Unwholly, is seeming to be very good aswell. Unusual idea, but it has been written very well, and it left me thinking for ages afterwards 'what if...?'

I felt the ending (for some of the characters) was a desperate attempt to tie up loose ends that let me down. For a couple of characters, the ending was amazing (not necessarily for them) and made a good book even better. Overall, a very good book. I quit reading science fiction a decade ago because I felt they'd used up all the good ideas -- thanks Mr. S. for proving me wrong. This book had the kind of plot that makes you keep reading, and I really cared about our hero.

Really great book. Original characters as strong as Hunger Games and as nefarious. Do read. This series will be a movie I predict.

OMG. the book was just amazing. I hope there will be a movie :)

This book is well-written, and well worth the time to read it. Shusterman provokes thought without clearly picking a side on the pro-life/pro-choice debate, which I found extremely admirable. A wonderful book for debate and discussion! jdenn/wearespartacus

The cover didn't explain the story very well , so I went into the story having no idea what it was about. I absoulutley LOVED Unwind. It was intense, suspenseful and right up my alley. The characters were well developed and the plot was complicated, keeping you on your toes. I found myself wishing that this was a series, because I just didn't want it to end.

I liked the book all the way along, but the ending. WOW. Bumped it from a good read to a great one.

This story seemed simple but is actually very twisted, interesting, surprising, and very suspenseful. the first couple pages are not as intriguing as the rest of the book, but once you read the first couple of chapters it's impossible to stop. The characters are not so great at the beginning, because they don't really seem to have much of a personality, but over the course of the novel they develop and the way the author does this is really wonderful. There will be a sequel, but I think that this book finishes the story well by itself. Nevertheless, I will read it because I'm curious to see what happens to Hayden and Mai.

Imagine a world where there are no doctors looking for cures-only body parts for replacements. A story told in a world where unwanted teens being given up to be chopped up to pieces to salvage their body parts is actually a good thing- and of 3 kids who managed to escape...
