Unwind

By Neal Shusterman

I honestly can't tell you if I was captivated by this book, or just really creeped out! I loved how it grabbed my attention in the first few pages and then it never let go. I wanted to stay up until 3:00 in the morning to finish reading this book and I haven't done that since college. The insert in the book says that Shusterman has written quite a few others and I'll be looking for those soon.

This novel is set in the not-so-distant future where parents are retroactively allowed to abort their children between the ages 13-18. This involves donating every part of their bodies because (in the future) all organs and tissue can be transplanted. This isn't considered heinous because technically, the children are still alive, just spread out so to say. The premise of this novel sounds awful, but the moral and storyline are amazing. This novel really made me think and it didn't need violence, sex, or bad language to keep the novel going.
