This is not the first time nor do I think it will be the last time I start the Unwind series. If you havent read this series it is a necessity to your bookshelf.
I read this book for the first time when I was in Junior High and I loved the moral grayness about it, but rereading it as an adult with the political climate that we are in, it couldnt be more relatable. The fact that there was a Heartland War fighting over Pro life and Pro Choice and both sides lost in a way was jarring to say the least. 
Unwind talks about choice and the right to ones body, but also the benefits of something like organ donation by going about it in the most gruesome way. Neal Shusterman does not shy away from showing that way. 
This book has affected my life in so many different ways I didnt even realize it until I was reading it this last time. The books I read and the things I believe are apart of this book and I will always be grateful for that impact on my life.
I believe that this series will stand the test of time. It can be relatable in so many different ways and can affect everyone no matter where you are. I love this series and I hope everyone else does too.
