UnSouled (Unwind Dystology)

Loved it! After facing even more terrible losses, Connor, Lev, and Risa are separated and on the run. As they go along their journeys they find a spark of hope in a possible end to Unwinding. But with no idea who this person is and how they can reach them, they'll have to dig deeper than ever if they want to survive long enough to overthrow the Unwinding technology that threatens them all. I just adore how complex this series' universe is. With each book, what I've learned is more and more disturbing, and this one is no different. Mad props to Shusterman on his excellent dystopian worldbuilding. Connor, Lev, and Risa continue to surprise me. I used to loathe Lev at the beginning, but he's my favorite character now due to how his journey has uniquely affected him. Each of these great characters have gone through so much already, and they continue to have more great character progression that keeps you hooked to every page. Every chapter was fast paced and filled with new developments. I felt drawn in from beginning to end, and I enjoyed building my knowledge of the mysterious person they are seeking out as bits of information come through. You really can't go wrong with this series. Highly recommend!

Unwind is arguably my favorite YA dystopia series, and Neal Shusterman doesn't disappoint in this latest installment, UnSouled. The pace of this book slows down quite a bit when compared to its predecessors. Although UnSouled is the third book in what will ultimately be a four book series, it has the feel of a middle book in a trilogy. It has the typical characteristics of Unwind (multiple interconnected subplots, solid characterization and character development, layered themes, and action), but this installment mainly serves to set things up for what I hope will be a memorable conclusion in Undivided. I would definitely recommend this series for fans of dystopias. This series certainly deserves more attention than it receives, especially when compared to the attention that lesser works within the genre receive.

This is the first book in the Unwind series so far that 'only' got a four star review from me. And know this: It still was incredible and exciting. It just felt like the whole purpose of "Unsouled" was to the get story threads to the perfect place for the finale of Book Four "Undivided". This book takes things to the next level for crazy Starkey and his Stork Brigade. His whole plot is intense. Cam has lost Risa and realizes that he is a pawn in a bigger game then he originally imagined. He is ready to bring down the company that made him. Conner and Levi are together again following the concluding events from book #2. I have to admit that I love them together. Of all the friendships, this is my favorite. However things quickly go sour and Conner finds himself meeting two new characters. One you will cheer for, the other not so much. I just can't stress enough how perfect this series has been from start to finish. I haven't been able to do anything else since starting "Unwind". I thought I would spread the books out since they aren't cheap even for the kindle, but I couldn't wait. Be prepared to buy all four novels and the short story Unstrung all at once. Why does this series have this kind of impact? The main problem, Unwinding, is so morally inconceivable and yet it feels so realistic. It feels like this could happen in the right circumstances. To bring home that point the author peppers the pages with true newspaper articles that touch on similar subject matter. The second reason for the impact is the characters. They feel so real and true. Readers become invested in these kids whose parents threw them away. This series is horrifying and engrossing all at once, and all the while it entertains and makes you think. I can't help but wish more people knew about this series.

**THIS BOOK IS NOT THE FINAL BOOK** theres a 4th one called UnDivided that comes out October 2014. There seems to be a lof of confusion about the 'ending' of this one, but it's not the end to the series. anyway REVIEW: NEAL SHUSTERMAN WEAVES A TALE AS INTERESTING AND COMPLEX AS CAMUS COMPRIXS 'INTERNAL COMMUNITY'. This story, since the very first book, keeps you involved and your mind going, it's absolutely incredible. The parallels to our own reality are disturbing especially when he's starting each part of the book off with real research and real articles with actual links you can view online. It makes it all a little too close to home and gives you a sense of unease that will stay with you whenever you think too long about how our world and society are run, and who the people in charge are. It challenges your beliefs and forces you to reevaluate your compassion and morals. its just fantastic. The characters are compelling and you grow attached to every single one, even the 'bad guys' and the ones you don't particularly like. You find yourself reading faster and turning pages at an alarming rate simply in the hopes of getting to a different view point and once you're there you're only led to need a different one. GYUH It's a beautiful web, expertly executed. A perfect blend of present and future, theres just enough of a futuristic aspect to make it sooo scarily believable and I am absolutely gutted that I have to wait until october to see how it all plays out in the end. The heroes tasks are big ones, they have a lot of people against them (practically the whole of society) and a lot of them are very important people. With how realistic and plot twisting the series has been so far it's a total mystery as to how it will end. And thats kinda scary.

Keeps your attention as you want to know if these kids will actually put a stop to this crazy revolt against delinquents

Achei que viria com a capa que tenha no anúncio, mas veio a capa antiga. Achei a qualidade do papel baixa, parece que rasga atoa

If you have read Unwind, then you need to read the next 2 in the series. This is a trilogy that doesn't fade with each ensuing volume, each book stands alone, but leads on to the next as well. This one, number 3, brings the whole premise to a highly satisfying conclusion. Recommended for anyone 15+

Teenage son loved this series

Great Read!!!!

I found this series of books by accident but they have become my most enjoyable read for a long time. I am currently half way through the 4th and final book and although anxious to find out if all will end well, I am wondering if there is anything out there that can fill the void that reaching the end of these book will leave.The main concept while fictitious is believable and the main characters credible as reluctant heroes. The books themselves are easily read and the pace just right to keep the reader involved with its many twists to the overall story.
