UnWholly by Neal Shusterman
4.0
As I read Unstrung between this and the first book it made me hesitant to start Unwholly. It also took me a few chapters to get into this story again but it was worth it. Cam and Starkey are two new prominent characters introduced – initially I sympathised with both but as the story progressed this changed, especially with Starkey. But what really got me was Levi’s story and how he developed from a little brat to someone I wanted to root for.
I am still trying to figure out why I like Unwind and Unwholly so much. I think it’s a combination of the fact that it is an imaginative dystopian trilogy, me recently signing up as an organ donor and lastly because this second book really tries to make you think of how our society is currently dealing with wayward and dangerous youths. Throughout the book there are adverts promoting unwinding which gives more insight into this dystopian world as well as actual current articles (with their URL links) on reports of neglected youths and reference to the UK’s problem with teenage gangs called Yobs.
I will definitely read the last book.
