#Unwind By: #NealShusterman My Rating: Three out of Five Stars Best for: 14 and Up Iā€™m gonna give this a ā€œmeh.ā€ Unwind has been on my Mount TBR for years, and I finally decided to give it a try because I loved Scythe, another Neal Shusterman book (that I highly recommend). Why did I leave it sitting on Mount TBR, lonely and unread? Because itā€™s about a society where parents who are tired of their angsty teenagers sign them over to the State to be killed in human chop shops and stripped of their body parts. Umā€¦No. Not saying I havenā€™t imagined someā€¦alternativesā€¦for my teenagers when they act like teenagers, but this felt too wrong and too close to home for me. So I set it aside. Anyway, Scythe takes a sensitive subject and turns it into something plausible, so I thought maybe Unwind might work out the same way. Sadly, it doesnā€™t. It starts cringe, stays cringe, and ends cringe. I can totally see this book being attractive to actual teenagers whose parents (and the entire world) donā€™t understand them and are actively working to prevent their happiness. This book is for you! Itā€™s written well, its plot pulled me along, and I was interested in the outcome. But I struggledĀ MIGHTILYĀ with the notion that any societyā€¦even a fictional, dystopian future society, would ever be able to justify and pass off as normal using teenagers as spare parts. Cover to cover, I couldnā€™t get my head around the non-plausibility of the premise of this book. This book is not for me. Because I love my kids. Even my teenagers. Especially my teenagers. Angst and all. So there you go, Neal Shusterman fans. Well written and interesting. I didnā€™t like what it was about. Maybe youā€™ll find your mind is more open than mine and youā€™ll enjoy it. No violence or sex. A bit of language. Discussion on abortion and when a life becomes a life, but no answers implied. 14 and up. Happy reading! #onemanbookclub #bookstagram #dadswhoread #booknerd #bookworm #booktruth #readersofinstagram #bentonvillereads #bookstagrammer #igbooks #igreads #books #reader #booklover #booklove #reading #read #bookaddict #novel #fiction #bookshelf #story #readerscorner #bibliophile #bookish #literature #ilovebooks
