Lots of unique story elements and a very discussible (controversial and thought-provoking) book, perfect for book clubs.

Read this on the recommendation of Thirteen. It was a quick, spirited dystopian read, told, mostly and in turns, from the points of view of its characters, a group of misfit 13 year olds who, for various reasons, have been sentenced to be Unwound. (A few places or groups had a turn at narrating, which was awkward.) The prose was crisp, the characters and their actions believable, the philosophical preachings few yet insightful and timely, and the pacing quick. A solid summer scifi read and a rem
