Lots of unique story elements and a very discussible (controversial and thought-provoking) book, perfect for book clubs. Story kept me guessing, characters were sympathetic and believable, and 3+ different points of view were fascinating and gave story more depth. WARNING: Chapter 61 is disturbing, consider yourself warned.

This would be a great book for book club! We would discuss it a ton! The ideas about death and a soul are very deep for a YA novel. Loved the reply from ebay about listing a s

I freaking loved this book. I loved all of the characters in it. Lev was a little shit at first but he grew on me. I even ended up feeling sympathy towards Roland by the end of the book. I did not expect that at all. There are so many great YA dystopian books out there right now. But I hope this book does not get lost in the sauce. It should definitely be given a chance and I will be recommending this book to everybody I know who enjoys this genre.

That does not necessarily mean I am “Pro-Choice”, just that I don’t like the idea of someone else telling me what to do with my body. Finally, I really wasn’t sure I coul ...more

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 ...more
