I’ve been reading through the blogs participating in the blog fest. I’m about halfway through and so far, no one has mentioned Unwind by Neal Shusterman. ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME? This is such a dark and messed up premise that only Neal Shusterman could pull it off. I could not put this book down. It has one of the most disturbing and affecting scenes I have ever read in any book, never mind YA. Those of you who have read the book probably know to what I refer. It’s unspeakably dark.
Read Unwind. Leave a comment if you have read it. I’m dying to know what other people think.

It’s definitely on my list to read. I love his other stuff.
I haven’t read this author or this book. Is it horror? The cover is highly disturbing. 🙂
Horror? Not in the traditional sense, no. It’s dystopian sci-fi, with one of the most devastating premises I’ve ever encountered. Please read it. It’s so good.
What a terrifically scary cover! Maybe, just a wee bit too scary!
Oh my gosh I have to read this now, lol. Thanks for mentioning it! Adding it to my list 🙂
