Has anyone read this book? What took me so long to read it? It was incredible! The second book was even better!

Omg that scene was so well done and chilling, I was completely breathless at the end of it. Wait until the sequel Kayla, it's even better and there's another crazy scene!!!

Andrea Diaz (literarygetaway) | 17 comments I just received the first book in the mail from a giveaway I won, which I was really excited about seeing as the publisher sent me an ARC of UnWholly but I couldn't read it since I hadn't read the 1st one. :)


Rebecka I loved it!! I still haven't gotten around to UnWholly but I really need to. My library doesn't have it yet and I have a limited book buying budget :(

Ooh I hope you get to read UnWholly soon, it's even better!


Karen’s Library | 11320 comments Mod
I agree! UnWholly is better than Unwind. Not sure how that's possible as Unwind was so good!

I know right? I was blown away by Unwind and then UnWholly took it to another level. No sequel slump there!! Killing me waiting for the next book!


Rebecka I'm just gonna have to go get it and try to explain to my non-reader husband why it is so important ;)

Aww maybe you can try again someday, sometimes you're just not in the right frame of mind for a certain book. Happens to me all the time and then I try again later and I love the book :) Or maybe it's just not for you, that's possible too!

You've got to read it Kayla, it's AMAZING! Although you could wait until the third one comes out, it's killing me having to wait :)

Reem Eid (reemeid) | 29 comments I'm going to get it soon. So excited! When's the third one coming out?

UnWholly was even better for me, hope you like it as much! You've got time since the third book isn't even out yet :)


Karli (karlig96) I just started reading this one. 20 pages in and already disturbing. That makes me nervous...

I've been meaning to read that book, but i always forget, my friend told me it was really good, but gruesome.

David Estes (davidestesbooks) | 10717 comments Mod
Ooh it's so good!!! A little disturbing yes, but soo good!


chucklesthescot I was a bit 'hmmm' about this one. I liked the idea which was clever and different, and I could think of candidates in my street that needed to be unwound/unwinded(!). But it did drag a bit in places for me so I'd rate it ok/good but wanted a bit more out of it.

The author, Neal Shusterman, will be coming to the group for a Q&A!!! The always awesome Karen convinced him, well done, Karen!!! We're just confirming dates (probably December or January) and then I'll set up a thread :)

Getting ready for the Q&A, I finished reading Unwind (Unwind, #1) by Neal Shusterman and I loved it! I am going to try to read the whole series before the Q&A, but I feel I've accomplished something atleast reading the first book!

This concept was chilling--I explained it to Darryl, and he thought it sounded pretty gruesome, but absolutely believable. And I agree! Those news stories and quotes throughout really added that emphasis, that is a believable future. The unwound scene....OMG, I'm pretty squeamish, and that had me jumping out of my skin! I just can't imagine it!

I was conscious for a C-section (Tessa's birth) and that was hard enough! I can't imagine laying there and knowing they are taking me all apart...FREAKY!!

I get chills just hearing you talk about it!!! But so glad you enjoyed it, I'm obsessed with this series!


Karen’s Library | 11320 comments Mod
The Unwind sequence was probably one of the most chilling things I have ever read! Mind blowing!

Neal Shusterman will be joining us in January/February for his Q&A in our group. Woot WOOT! He's on a whirlwind crazy book tour right now! I'm so excited that we're one of his priorities when he's done!!

You're amazing Karen!!! Thanks for utilizing your awesome author sweet-talking skills to persuade Neal to come to our group!!!

Agreed, Karen YOU ROCK!! So excited for this one now! And that will give me time to finish the series, lol!


Taja  (taozi) I was super hesitant going into this one, but once I decided to read it, I couldn't stop! I love the writing style Neal Shusterman has and I loved the wittiness of it.
I ended up loving it so much, I bought a paperback even though I already had the ebook.

Which character did you guys like the most? :)

I've read all of the books in this series and so far still like Connor. :)

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
I really liked Conner as well, although I've only read the first book.


Meaghan | 383 comments I agree, Connor is still my favorite! I consider him the MC but I'm not sure that's really true.

Ooh I love a lot of them, but Connor still wins for me! Hey Taja, did you know Neal Shusterman is coming to our group early next year for a Q&A? Woohoo!!


Taja  (taozi) I do know, and I cannot wait!!!
