Unwind

Unwind by Neal Shusterman is a good book. It was a tad more disturbing than I was expecting from the guy who wrote The Schwa Was Here, but still a great read with strong characterization. Though it is something of a science-fiction book, none of it feels contrived and the situations and perils feel genuine. You actually get attached to the characters, even the perceived villains, and there are a few unexpected deaths that heighten the drama while at the same time not undermining the human value of those who die. All in all, it's a good book and I'd recommend it to anyone who likes a good deal of heart with a healthy dose of suspense.
