Unwind

My language arts class had to pick a novel to read through the third trimester of the year (out of the novels provided), & I chose a book called Unwind. In this book, if a child is between the ages 13 & 18, their parents can choose to have them unwound. Unwind means to take all of a child's body parts, & transplant them into different donors- so life technically goes on. This book goes between the points of view from 3 "unwinds" who are running away. Has anyone else here read/started reading this book? What do you think about it?

Re: Unwind

I've heard about that before and it sounds really interesting. I'd love to read it.

That book?
I read it a few years ago.
Can't remember it now.
It was good, though.

Re: Unwind

I liked that book.
The part where the kid was taken apart while still conscious freaked me out.

Ok. I promised I wouldn't let anyone spoil it for me, but who was it? (The kid taken apart while conscious)

Re: Unwind

Sounds kind of like House of the Scorpion, which was an outstanding book.

I forgot.
He had a tattoo on his arm and he wasn't one of the main characters.

Oof... He was a semi-interesting character though... at least so far.  tongue
