Nice Cover. Not overly well written. |
Disclaimer: I'm only on page 20, so there's a lot to learn. Overall, it's a pretty typical Dystopian novel. BYE. This is the cover.
Hi! So, for school, we're currently reading Dystopian books, and I really super wanted to read Fahrenheit 451 but there was only one copy, so I ended up with Unwind. So far, it's not bad, and basically it's about our world in the future where when you're 16, your parents can have you unwound. Unwinding is when they take all your organs and donate them, (obviously leaving you dead because your parents didn't like you enough to keep you alive.)
Some themes thus far are:
-Hiding information from other people, (one of the main character's parents never tell him he is going to be unwound, and he only finds out through snooping)
-Fear (children who are going to be unwound are obviously terrified of the process, and children under the age of 16 never quite know if there organs are going to stay with them for the rest of their lives, and then the general public, who doesn't really like it all.)
-Rebellion (One of the main characters runs away in the dead of night and hitches a ride with a trucker, but his parents track him by his cellphone and find him. This leads us to... [insert drum-roll]
-Control (nobody has privacy, anyone with a cellphone can be tracked, so this can ensure safety, and at the same time danger.)
