UnWholly - Neal Shusterman

 

Ok, now that I saw the trailer for book 3, I had to look for others. Here is the trailer for book 2 of the Unwind series: Unwholly

Review:

UnSouled - Neal Shusterman

 

Wow. Another amazing book in the series. I don't want to give anything away, so I'm just going to say that I continue to love this series and the narrator on the audio.

 

The following book trailer is AMAZING, but just so you know, it could give spoilers if you haven't read the first two books. It was directed by Jarrod Shusterman.

Unwholly - audiobook

Review:

UnWholly (Unwind, #2) - Neal Shusterman, Luke Daniels

**If you haven't read Unwind, there may be spoilers in the following review.**

 

 

Book 2 in the Unwind series continues to follow the story of Connor, Risa, and Lev along with a few new and interesting characters. There's Nelson, a "parts pirate," determined to track down Connor and turn him over to the Juvenile Authority for "unwinding," Starkey, a power hungry kid who wants to usurp Connor and take control, and even Cam, a teenager created using the parts from various unwound kids. They call Cam a "rewind" but he is like Frankenstein and he doesn't even know if he is "real." The chapters alternate between different character's POVs and the narrator does a good job giving them different voices and personalities. In between chapters are actual news articles about organ harvesting and abandoned and "feral" teens. (The only thing annoying about that is hearing the narrator spell out the entire websites where the articles are found, something you wouldn't have to read yourself and would probably gloss over.)

 

This series continues to twist your expectations in new ways. I loved this just as much, if not more than the first one. The plot twists at the end made me jump right into book 3.

The Vile Village  - Lemony Snicket

I'm sorry to say that he was extremely prone to error, a phrase which here means "always had a cough, and had placed the three Baudelaire children in an assortment of dangerous positions."

The Vile Village: Book the Seventh (A Series of Unfortunate Events) - Lemony Snicket

No matter who you are, no matter where you live, and no matter how many people are chasing you, what you don't read is often as important as what you do read.
