FINALLY, winter break has come and we’re getting a much-needed three weeks off of school. There is no doubt that I will take advantage of this and sleep sleep sleep as much as I can. Other than that, we also completed our final discussion for the book which means this is going to be the final blog post dealing with the book Unwind by Neal Shusterman.
I’m not much of a reader and I have never read a book on my own yet. Every book I’ve read had to play a part in my grade. So when I was introduced to Unwind, I thought I was going to deal with another boring book that I am going to be forced to read. But this book was different. It was a book that I had interest in from start to finish and was glued to it until I reached the last page.
Something that was unique about Unwind is that it provided the reader with numerous foreshadowing throughout the book. In the beginning when Connor attempted to run away and hide, he met a truck driver who was willing to help. This truck driver got into a truck accident and lost an arm. His arm was then replaced with a new one from an unwound and now, this arm has certain characteristics that that one person who got unwind used to have. As I read on, Connor eventually gets badly injured on his arm in an explosion at the chop shop and because he was unconscious, he was not given the option whether he wanted this arm to be replaced or not. Just like the truck driver who was in the accident, Connor eventually gets a transplant. The author does this in almost every part of the book, allowing the reader to connect the dots as they read on.
The book also ended off very unexpectedly. In my opinion, the book didn’t end off right. It kind of left the reader hanging but like we discussed in our groups today, the author Neal Shusterman might be preparing the book for a sequel.
