I liked this one even better than Unwind. It felt like the author had really found the characters and the story just unfolded. An exciting read!

Ggggggeeeeeeyyyaaaawwwwlllllllll!!!!! This is a great friggin book! I hope I get to meet Shusterman again next summer at ALA, cuz I need to do some serious eating of crow for not having read his books before now. Always surprising and so unbelievably edgy-cool...I am enthralled.

In a society where unwanted and troublesome teens are salvaged for their body parts, Connor, Risa and Lev continue to fight against the system that would ‘unwind’ them.
Thanks to their high-profile revolt at the Happy Jack Harvest Camp, people can no longer turn a blind eye to unwinding.
Whilst Connor, Risa and Lev are continuing to try helping others in their position, we meet new characters Cam, a Rewind and Nelson, a bitter and sadistic bounty hunter who has already crossed paths with Connor.
Unwholly is the sequel to Unwind, a dystopian novel in which unwanted teenagers between the ages of 13 -18 can be unwound so that they are no longer a problem. I first read Unwind back in march last year and really enjoyed it so I was happy to find out that Unwholly was being published in the August of the same year.
I had pretty high expectations for Unwholly and it didn’t disappoint. The plot was a good as Unwind and not at all watered down like I thought it might be (based on all the more recent Dystopian’s that have been published). It carries on from where Unwind finished, Connor and Risa are back in The Graveyard only it is now run by Connor and not The Admiral.
This book also introduces us to four new characters Starkey, Miracolina, Cam and Nelson. At first I felt really sorry for Starkey, an unwind whose parents never wanted him because he was storked but then he changed and I spent the whole book wanting to punch him.
The character that I found the most interesting was Cam. Cam has been rewound which basically means that he is made up entirely of body parts taken from people who have been unwound, like a modern day Frankenstein’s Monster. I liked the way he developed as a character, how he started off struggling to find words and make all the different parts of himself work together.
I really enjoyed this book and am kind of sad that I have to wait another year for the final book to come out. I definitely recommend the books of this trilogy.

Stark made me want to give up but at the end I didn’t want to his part. This is definitely made by a man. The way that people act and the scheming is very… man. Not a bad thing just a different way. Conner was fine, I didn’t hate Cam nor Lev and I wasn’t a huge fan of Lev. Miracle Maria is fine, annoying at first and I feel he could have done better on her character development. I feel awful even though I think it’s a wild claim to think people would be okay with a world like this. Though the unwinding ads made me want to set those people on fire and that’s the point.
