After the second Civil War, the Pro Life and the Pro Choice armies agreed upon the Bill of Life. This bill states that no child can be touched between actual conception and the age of 13. However, between the ages of 13 18, a parent can choose to have their child unwound. Unwinding is the process of transplanting all of the childs organs and tissue into other patients, or donors as they are called, who need them. Not one thing can ever be wasted.
The government basically brainwashed civilians into believing that if you had your child unwound, they lived on in more than one person. And if the child was unwanted or a problem child, this was a better option for the child, and gave the child the opportunity for a better life. Many parents felt pressured to have their children unwound, only to regret it later. Some children were born and raised as tithes. These children knew from a very young age that they would be unwound at age 13. They saw it as a blessing they were able to give to others.
Three children from three different worlds meet in the most terrifying circumstance. Connor was a problem child and his parents couldnt control him, Risa was a ward of the state and lived in an orphanage, and Lev was a rich kid raised as a tithe. Unwind takes you through each childs life, exploring where they came from, how they were chosen to be unwound, and their journey through it.
I can sum up my most constant feeling throughout this book in one word CREEPY. I have to give the author 6 stars for imagination. The fact that someone could even think this up is kind of scary though. I was inspired by the main characters. They didnt give up without a fight, as Im sure none of us would, given the choice of being unwound or death.
A must read for all dystopian, post apocalyptic, and apocalyptic fans!
