Unwind
discussion
Authors who write too well



the only shusterman book i'd read before unwind was everlost, which i really liked. it was a little sad, but WOW it was nowhere near as compelling as Unwind. recently i read Downsiders, which was good, but once again, not quite as good as Unwind.


u may be right; it'll probably be really hard for shusterman to write anything as good as this... perhaps even impossible. i guess we'll have to wait and see.

I agree--just got through reading Bruiser, and it is great!!!

I hope he proves me wrong.





Yeah, it was really hard to believe parents getting their children unwound, but other than that i loved the book.





But parents are allowed to do just that--through abortion and the killing of their own children--but never being convicted.

It's not quite the same though. In the book it's much worse because these parents raised their kids and still decided to do away with them. As for the abortion issue that's something everyone has differing opinions of.

I have had this problem before. When Elephants Danced was a tough read. Fortuntely it was balanced with the outside stories so you could relex a bit.
There was also William Sleator's House of Stairs. That was a real rough ride. Especially the ending.
The worst though is Robert Commier. Keep trying to stay away but, oh but his plots would pull me in. Then comes the end and saying please please be nice. Never is. Last read Rag and Bone Shop and have managed to stay away. Then comes Shusterman.
