It's the perfect book for family and classroom debate - it's gripping, it's thought-provoking and it's intelligently written. There is one scene in which the unwinding process is described in detail and it will shock. It perhaps puts the book out of reach of the sensitive reader and perhaps even sophisticated primary school readers - even I am not sure that I would want to read it again. This aside, I can't recommend ''Unwind'' highly enough. Read it and weep. Then think on.
My thanks to the nice people at Simon & Schuster for sending the book. We do have a review of the [[Unwholly by Neal Shusterman|sequel]].
If they enjoyed ''Unwind'', they might also enjoy [[Generation Dead by Daniel Waters]]. We can also recommend [[Timedance 1: Neptune's Tears by Susan Waggoner]].
