I am currently reading the book, Unwind. It was written by
Neal Shusterman, and I just finished the book. Throughout this book there were
3 kids, who had ran away from society because they were chosen to be unwound by
their parents. Their names were Connor, Risa and Lev. They make it for about a
month until someone catches them. The 3 kids stayed in the basement of an
antique shop for about a week throughout their journey, and a very kind old
lady helped them majorly. She gave them a place to stay and food to eat. Towards
the end of the book, Lev becomes a clapper and blows up this building right as Connor
walks in. Connor was hurt, but it wasn’t severe. He was taken to the hospital and
he got one of his friend’s arm, who had been unwound. Risa was also in the
explosion, but she refused to go to the hospital and she was left paralyzed. I
think that this is a good book, because it shows how tough people’s lives can
really be, and the obstacles people have to overcome. I do think that this is a
good book, because he really makes it easy to understand. In my opinion the
authors motivation to write this story was to show how people’s lives change,
and endings do not always end out how you expected. The big idea in this book
is to show how your life changes in the blink of an eye, and sometimes your “true
friends” aren’t there for you in the
end. Now that I have read this whole
book , I think that the best character is Connor. He has done many things, and
had many strong opinions on what they should do. He thinks on the spree of the
moment, and most of the time it is the right idea. In the beginning he acted to
be some “tough” guy, but then as the story progressed, he learned to respect
people. A cool quotation from the book was, “you can’t change society, without
first changing laws.” I think this is important because its pretty much the way
of life. For example if you don’t change the speed limit sign (law) than the
citizens are going to keep doing what they did before. Sense I just finished
this book I don’t really have any questions, I am just curious about what they
next book is about!
