Unwind

Well i finished Eggs yesterday. Again, i did like it, but its not one of my favorites. It ended that Primrose moved back in with her mother and David opened his heart up to his grandmother and started to let go of his mothers death. So afterward i started another book called Unwind by Neal Shusterman. Im pretty sure it takes place in the future...and if not its just science fiction. Im up to page 32 so far cause i just started it, but to be 'Unwinded" means to basically be killed, taken apart and have the body parts used for science or donated to people who lost theirs. You can only be unwinded before you turn 18 and it happens to most people in their teens. The three characters so far that are supposed to get unwinded and are all trying to run away are Conner, Risa and Lev. Conner is labeled a 'troublemaker' and his parents signed papers sentencing him to be unwinded without telling him, but he found out. Risa is an orphan, living in this place thats obligated to take in any unwanted children. Risa is told that they need the space and feel that she has reached her 'full potential' in life so they were going to send her to be unwinded. Lev was a 10th child and knew he was gonna be unwinded when he turned 13 at a very young age. His parents said it was for their religeon and they threw a HUGE party for him on his 13th bday as a goodbye i guess.....thats the part im up to [the party]. so all i know is that they are all gonna run away and escape and im guessing somehow meet each other. I like the book so far, though the idea is creepyish. ~ <3
