Finished my re-read! It's been eight years since I read this book for the first time (damn, that makes me feel old). In my original review, I stated that this story would "haunt me forever," and I was definitely right about that. Even after all these years, there were a lot of scenes that I still remembered vividly. But there were also many details I'd forgotten. And there were also a lot of powerful themes that I think went over my head when I was younger, so I'm glad I decided to re-read it.

Also, while I read and enjoyed the second book, I never got around to reading the third and fourth books in the series––so I'm hoping to do that once I re-read the first two books.

New review coming soon! Old review under the cut.

(view spoiler)[Old review (6/11/08):

To put it simply, I loved this book! I loved everything about it, from the distinctive characters to the compelling plot. I typically don't like these "futuristic society" books, but this one was different with its unique idea: a story about a future where unwanted teens are cut apart and their parts given to those who need them. The writing style is simple, but the concepts are really deep. Not only is it a good adventure story, but it really makes the reader think about what life means. Reading about all these kids going to such desperate measures to stay alive is heart-wrenching, and I found myself feeling emotionally attached to some of the characters as if I knew them. Thrilling, disturbing, and unforgettable, the story of Unwind will definitely haunt me forever. (hide spoiler)]
