Tearing Apart

Connor age 16, Risa age 16, and Lev age 13, are on a journey to stay alive. When a child turns 13 their parent can sign an order for them to be “unwound”, which is taking every single body part and selling it to someone who needs it, kind of like transplanting. Its’ basically killing them but some people disagree they say it’s another way of living. Anyway, Connor and Risa are unwinds who escaped and found each other along the way in their journey. Each with their own story. Lev isn’t any ordinary unwind though, he’s tithe. He becomes Connor’s hostage at first but later becomes a friend. Connor and Risa go through many difficulties and adventures. Meeting many new people, some against them, some helping them to stay alive. In this big mess Lev gets separated and has his own little journey but he later finds his way back to them. From this whole mess they all end up at a harvest camp together, (where they get unwound at), but you’ll just have to read and find out what becomes of them.
This book was such a good book! So much suspense, never knowing what’s going to happen next! You would think something was going to happen but then something unexpected happens instead.  I couldn’t even stop reading sometimes, which is odd for me because I’m not into reading very often.
I recommend this book to anyone who wants a great book! More to teenagers because they could relate and understand better. It’s a science fiction book, but even if you don’t like that book genre the book Unwind will make you like it! I only took a glimpse of the book and it drew me in and it kept me hooked the WHOLE time.
