Connor, Risa, and Lev are running for their lives.

The Second Civil War was fought over reproductive rights. The chilling resolution: Life is inviolable from the moment of conception until age thirteen. Between the ages of thirteen and eighteen, however, parents can have their child "unwound," whereby all of the child's organs are transplanted into different donors, so life doesn't technically end. Connor is too difficult for his parents to control. Risa, a ward of the state, is not enough to be kept alive. And Lev is a tithe, a child conceived and raised to be unwound. Together, they may have a chance to escape and to survive.

Ch 17 (27%) - (view spoiler)[ I'm a just amazed by this world that thinks aborting a fetus is murder, but not unwinding these teenagers. My mind is blown!

Who exactly are the clappers? And are people really so gullible to think that anyone clapping their hands are part of the terrorist group? That is comical. I'm glad that Connor and Risa found someone to help them get away. How lucky that the teacher took the baby at the exact moment they needed her to. I wonder what will become of Lev know that he is having a change of heart but is separated from Connor and Risa. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 27 (53%) - (view spoiler)[ Damn, this book is brilliant. I love all the philosophical questions that these kids are raising, and they really haven't begun to talk about what happens to the soul if you are unwound. How is it that religion (which seems to still be around) has forgotten about the soul? What happens to it?? I love this book. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 36 (75%) - (view spoiler)[ Whew, why is it every dystopia has a little Lord of the Flies action in it? I really need to reread that book. How sad that these kids have all turned on the one guy that was actually trying to help them - or at least most of them, I'm still not sure what the deal was with Embry. (hide spoiler)]
Finished - Wow, just wow. Freaking Shusterman is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. I just love how he weaves a story together. Ok so now the question is (view spoiler)[ Will society change how they think of Unwinds? It still doesn't look like they will change their minds about the question of if it is killing or not, but at least they may reconsider the worth of these kids as people instead of parts?? I can't wait to find out what happens.

That scene with all the people that got Harlan's parts was chilling!!! Creepy! (hide spoiler)]

You up for the next book? Tell me when!

Oops. Forgot to put a date for this one. LOL.
