Welcome to Litsy!

Love this 2nd book in this series. Love the newer covers. This series is scary in that it was written before Covid but the actions that take place in this book could be todays society‘s ideas through believing the media and beliefs that are out there. On to the third book. Abortion or unwinding..🥴😳

Solid 2nd book for the series as it explained on the world of the book giving us a deeper look into what lead to the world being as it is. All the characters where put throw the ringer in this one and had some great moments. All in all can‘t wait to read the rest of them and see where the story goes

Book #2 was just as interesting and fast-paced as the first in this series. The characters are not given a deep amount of growth but this is all about the ride these kids are on and the action happening around them. I like how the author poses questions about ethics without dwelling on them for too long, keeping the action moving and interesting. I‘m looking forward to the next book and think my 15 year old will really like these. 👍🏻👍🏻

#TBRPile Day 3 📚 Need some early-00s dystopian angst in your life? I enjoyed the first book - Unwind - and I‘m saving this one for when I get nostalgic about the kind of books I loved as a teen!

Just as good as the first! Excited to read the rest!

Shusterman has done it again. Unwind ripped my heart out. It had me in tears and hopeful for a better future. This sequeal has brought so much more depth to the story but left me with a more happy heart which is amazing considering the death count.
Full review on LT and GR.

It‘s before midnight so I actually finished my March #bookspin title on time.

And dang was it good. More later.

Parts of this are kind of echoing our current situation.

I know I have not posted a #weeklyforecast in a while. However I have finished read all my grants, finished round one of Letters about lit, and was just told to stay home for 2 weeks

So I‘ll have some time on my hands. Here is what I hope to accomplish this week.

BTW @aCleverDuck I got your package today. It‘s in this weeks TBR pile.

@Cinfhen

Okay @TheAromaofBooks this months #bookspin title is tagged and I will start it this afternoon at lunch.

Yep, still amazing! I stand by what I said in my first review about there being too many revolving POVs (do we really need to see 2 pages of a battle scene from a random guard‘s POV, before flipping to a side character‘s POV, before coming to another random POV, before coming back to an MC‘s POV...?), but otherwise this is an action-packed story with a punch-your-gut kind of plot & characters that sit in your heart long after the last page. ★★★★☆.

This one took me way too long, and it's not the book's fault at all. Haven't been sleeping well lately and it threw me into a funk. But anyway, this was a great follow-up to Unwind and it was great to see both old characters and a couple new ones. These poor kids just can't catch a break!

Happy 4th, America! This is how I‘m spending my afternoon before we head to the BBQ for too much food and fireworks.

What are you reading this #IndependenceDay??

I‘ve been listening to the audio and really enjoying it (except for when he reads out every part of the web address). There‘s a new character, Cam, like Frankenstein‘s monster (made from hundreds of parts of different unwound teenagers. I loved this more even than the first one. The plot twists at the end made me jump right into book 3.

“I am more than the parts I‘m made of!”-Unwholly.

What an amazing second volume to a series I'm dying to finish. Unfortunately the books are not available in my country so it will take a while before I an able to buy them all... but still, what an awesome world and twists!

Just finished this. I thought it was pretty cool and I might just end up finishing this series. A few things I expected to happen did, others didn‘t. Characters feel like they‘ve changed since the first book.

Goodbye Unlikely Hero 😭😭😭

After some thought I decided I had to finish this series after all. Going a little off topic: has anyone watched the short film named Unwind based on the first book?

My current read as an e-book 😃 was trying to save this one for next year but I missed reading on my phone so I chose this one.

I'll try my best to be more active here in 2018, with more books and cats 💖

Btw, who read these series? I absolutely loved the first book!

Cam is a future dystopian Frankenstein's monster. A composite person from "unwound" kids, he struggles with why he was created, and whether he is truly human. Part of the "Unwind" series. The "unwinding" sequence in the first book on this series was one of the most memorable (harrowing) scenes I've read in YA. #frankenstein #monstermadness2017 @LibrarianRyan

I'm loving how this series is coming along ✨ this was actually the book I wasn't able to finish 5 years ago 😅

In my opinion, I found everything so complicated, like there were so many problematic people, and so much going on for everyone, I loved it. (Did you see that one coming? 😂)

I've decided to take the tiniest break with this series and start rereading All the Bright Places because I'm in the mood to be sad.

Yes, this is a great follow-up! But not as AMAZING as the first. The writing style and the fast pace continued to grip me inexorably, which was awesome. I did tire a bit of the constant cycling through multiple POVs — especially since there were also three whole new characters added to the mix. I found that I mostly waited for Connor's POV anyway. Still, the nail-biting plot and the deft world-building kept me riveted! ★★★★☆.

already has my heart pounding!

Can you tell I'm reading on a cold day??? They refuse to leave my lap.

Can't choose between fantasy and sci-fi!!! Both sci-fi and fantasy characters help us identify where fiction crosses reality. From Cam in the Unwind series, we see that life isn't always clear cut. From the Bane in the Elemental trilogy, we see that sometimes life actually is. ~ #Day12 #FantasyOrSciFi #Fantasy #SciFi #octphotochallenge #bookphotochallenge ~ @LibrarianRyan

Taking a work break to read & try out Nature's Bakery's Vegan Brownie. This book is confusing me more than the last one. I think there are too many characters to keep track of.

It took me quite a few pages to get into and appreciate Unwind. When I was done with it I had mixed feelings. I wasn't going to continue with the series but almost automatically found the next book at the library

I'm really digging the Unwind dystology. As the series goes on, you understand more and more how the U.S. got to the horrific place it's at in this universe. The characters are real, dynamic, & diverse. Can't wait to read the next book.
