I thought Unwind as a book was lacking, it didn't cover the dystopian ideas like government. 1 in 2000 children die, 0.05 percent, which, granted is a lot, compared to the 0.03 percent of children who die per year, but I highly doubt that 1 in 2000 parents would actually unwind their children, making this a odd and most likely wrong statistic, although it is a okay book, calling it dystopian in the same way the giver is called dystopian is extremely misleading. The book admittedly had great potential, because it covers a topic that very few books do, the danger of political divide. But, the book must have thought its readers too immature to handle it and completely skipped over the part that could have made it a true dystopian book. If you like books that are light-hearted like Percy Jackson, give this book a try. But if you just finished the giver or 1984, you will be sorely disappointed.

I thought that is was a really good book and it was a great idea but I thought it could be put together a lot better.It was a book that staid on track and to me that makes it a really good book.I think this is a book that would totally suggest if someone was looking for a book.

I did not like Unwind at all, and here are a few reasons why. First of all, Unwind changes perspectives every single chapter, typically between the three leads Connor, Risa, and Lev but there are tons of completely random chapters in the perspectives of completely random characters. Unwind is over 300 pages, but without all of the random chapters it would be about 250 pages. I think the changing of perspectives could work well if done right, but it just felt kind of jarring and unnecessary at points. Second of all, all of the main characters are TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY (if you know you know) unlikable. First up is Connor, he's actually the most likable of the three, but he is still very cocky and egotistical. Next up is Risa, she's very self-entitled and not very relatable. Last but certainly not least is Levi Jedediah Calder, he has a larger than life ego, he's remarkably arrogant, he's such a little brat and I didn't feel an ounce of sympathy for him the entire book. Third of all, the author Neal Shusterman manages to keep the book pretty grounded for like 95% of the book, but suddenly out of nowhere the book will just go completely bonkers crazy for no reason. In certain parts of the book, especially the end, it feels like they're focusing way to much on the intensity and suspense when the rest of the book mostly focuses on the dramatic and emotional elements of the book. which I hate to admit, but the dramatic and emotional elements are the best parts of the book. I can't stress enough how little I would recommend this book to anyone. If you want to read unwind go ahead, knock yourself out, but I know for a fact that I will not be re-reading Unwind anytime soon.

Personally, I liked Unwind. It was creative and intriguing, as well as fast paced. It kept me interested and wanting to know more. However, although this story is labeled as dystopian, it did not have all the dystopian aspects to it. Overall, Unwind was a good book with creative ideas and fast paced energy that dystopian and thriller fans would enjoy.

I though the book was bad I did not really like the characters.Also the book did not really sound like what it was in my opinion.That was most of the bad parts of the book.

I liked really enjoyed this book because I thought that the concept was really intriguing and it almost felt like a plausible future when reading. I think that the authors choice to switch character perspectives also made the story more interesting sand provided a sense of all the characters emotions. I did think though that the world building had a couple errors when one really inspects everything and the book was not funny where it was sometimes supposed to be and vice-versa. Additionally the characters were sometimes to generic and I think that that if the author added more fun details the characters might be more likable and relatable. Overall though I think this book is wonderful book for people who love dystopian books and the suspenseful plot makes it all come to life.
