I highly recommend this book, however PLEASE read “Unwind” before you read “Unwholly”! Overall, I think that the first book was better, but only by a small margin; “Unwholly” is a great continuation of “Unwind”. I feel like “Unwholly” would make a great movie! It is full of everything that a movie needs: unique and complex (but believable) characters, a little bit of romance (but not in the mushy kind of way), suspense, plot twists, and a central issue that makes the audience/readers really think (without getting a headache). This book is by no means a horror story, but it definitely has its dark moments. Like “Unwind”, this book focuses on one character at a time every chapter. I really like how this allows readers to watch the overall storyline fall together from many different locations and perspectives throughout the book. Shusterman does something very interesting in this book; he includes short news articles and public service announcements throughout the book that support unwinding. I like how this really made me think about the issues present in this book. While most of the characters are against unwinding, and with good reason, Shusterman gives readers a chance to decide for themselves whether or not unwinding should continue in this society.

Amazing read. Couldnt put it down.

margaret_harms, the third book has not come out yet. The second one was released only recently.

AMAZING!!!!!! wish the third book was in the library but i cant find it anywhere:(

Although not as compelling as Unwind, Shusterman develops the plot in some interesting ways and introduces a few intriguing characters. I'm still on board to read the next one.

Shusterman is at his best when he is creepy. Unwind is one of the best YA books I have read in the last 5 years; UnWholly stands up quite well. In fact, it might be even creepier than the first. The unwinding process is further explained, as well as how we really got to that point. The scariest part of all? It isn't that implausible. The new characters meld well with the old. There are enough references to book 1 to bring everyone up to speed. And, while I think I have figured out the plot twist that is likely to come, I still can't wait for book 3.

OMG! I can't wait until the last book ! I read this one in one day and think I may need to buy the series! This is one of the most suspensful books I have ever read. I am wondering what will become of all the AWOLS, but inparticular the storked kids. Then there's the romantic triangle... The book is a quick read for teens and adults. Neal Shusterman has truely come up with a winner!

Unwind was among the most creative and thought-provoking books I've ever read, so imagine my excitement to hear that it was to be turned into a trilogy! I finished Unwholly in under a day and I am impatient for the next one. Neal is an amazing author and I plan to read many more of his stories. I love the oldies Conner, Lev, and Risa, and I love the new Cam and Miracolina. Starkey, well... Read and find out!

IM SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ♥ THIS SERIES!!!!!!
