There's a Team Warner?
THERE ARE FREAKING TEAMS?
Okay, one: Warner is a freakish megalomaniac psycho. I literally whooped when (view spoiler) So...yeah.
EDIT: Kindly stop rating books that haven't even come out yet. You get my hopes up.
EDIT, PART TWO: Oh God, now there's a Team Kenji? What do you think this is, a love square? Next you'll be saying (view spoiler)...more

Juliette and Adam are still hanging out in the underground facility working on the resistance. Juliette tries to learn to control her power while Adam undergoes testing to figure out why he can touch Juliette. Answers are not good and the two have some problems to work through. This was very frustrating. I understood Juliette's reasoning but I really hate the back and forth. Plus Adam just breaks my heart. He is so sweet and wants to make things work with Juliette. But they are also dealing with...more

I am so excited for this book to come out but there is one thing I am seriously worrying about...
The Dreaded Love Triangle of Doom...with Warner
Its no secret that I completely despise Warner with every fiber of my being (a little over-dramatic but still). I am so surprised and shocked that so many people like him. I mean, I didn't know crazed psychotic war maniac was in this year but thank god I didn't get the memo.

Unravel Me is successful to retain the mind shattering effect on me same as the first book did. I would say the total series literally barraged my mind with it gripping actions, lots of power play and extremely sensual romance.
And the writing; it’s poetic and rhythmic. The author knew how to make an ordinary situation extraordinary by using her gorgeous prose in a very beautiful way. She even knows how to beautify even those little moments that won’t probably get noticeable, and there she makes...more

I truly love this series, and I wouldn't call it a guilty pleasure despite the number of negative things I've seen said about it. There's just something so . . . gripping about it. It's the kind of series that's easy to devour quickly, at least for me.

I am way too upset with the conclusion of this sequel to say anything more than the few following things:
1- Everything was perfect, I was in love with the characters, I was captivated by the story, I was more than ready to give 5 perfect stars to Unravel Me... up until I reached 65% of the reading.

Stop hating on Warner guys. Some of us actually find crazy, psychotic boys attractive.
Excuse me. Warner is nasty and I completely screamed "F**K YAAA!!!!!!" when she shot him. Juliette stay with Adam end of story. But hmm maybe something with Kenji would make it interesting hmmm... lol

If you thought Shatter Me was something special, wait till you read Unravel Me. Tahareh's writing style just amazes me. How she merges poetry with prose. It's just so beautiful. If, by any chance you still haven't read Unravel Me, or dare I say Shatter Me, please, do because there is no way you won't like what this woman has to say. It's an emotional bomb. Ovaries were exploding every time Warner showed up.

I'm not sure if many of you people have read Shatter Me, but obviously, Warner is a psychotic sleeze bag who wants Juliette to torture/kill people. Anybody who is team warner has serious mental problems, or they just can't read. Juliette obviously loves ADAM, the boy from her PAST, not the freakin' psycopath.
Let's just say that some people have serious judgement issues.

This story took my breath away! I was high on emotion and excitement that kept me glued to the pages. I am in awe of Tahereh Mafi’s writing, so beautiful, so captivating. In a sea of YA she stands out and shines. Prepare for lots of gushing.
Now that Juliette is out of the asylum and not a prisoner of Warner anymore, all the effects of being locked up, and deprived of human contact come rushing in. She’s never been close to another person; she was even rejected by her own parents and called a “t...more
Wow. That was impressive!
After reading Shatter Me, I was hoping the sequel will be better because I wasn't satisfied with the first book. I think it was destined to left us all hanging because there is more.

Now that I've read Destroy Me, I can officially say that I'm ready for Unravel Me. I am SO excited yet SO scared to read this. Having Warner's POV has given me an insight to his inner struggles and seeing his vulnerable side has really made me second guess my opinion of him. This is going to be one hell of a ride from here on out. Shit!

10/8/12 Update: When I first saw the cover, the first thing that popped in my head was, Is Juliette blue-eyed? LOL.
I hope they're planning to make a cover that will match the Shatter Me.
Unravel Me. Great choice for a title!
Screw Adam! I'm Team Kenji on this!!
Prediction:
1. Kenji will fall for Juliette, and be able to touch her.
2. Juliette and Adam will fight because she didn't tell him that Warner can touch her.

After a wait that seemed endless, diving back into the gifted Tahereh Mafi's incredible dystopian world was everything I'd hoped for and so much more!! Shatter Me was an absolute work of art with it's poetic narration and heartwarming romance, and while Unravel Me was a continuation of the emotions in some ways, it also carried us beyond the walls of Juliette's mind and into the world that she's been closed off to for so very long. Whether or not she was ready to be a part of it like she needed...more
Well, after finishing this up around the 3AM this morning, I know three things.
1) Tahereh Mafi is still a word ninja and I still want to live in her brain for a day. This book was nothing (but in the same breath, EVERYTHING) I expected it to be.
2) I've never been more eager to get my hands on Destroy Me. Come to me, Warner.
