Unwind (Unwind #1) by Neal Shusterman


Connor, Risa, and Lev are running for their lives.

The Second Civil War was fought over reproductive rights. The chilling resolution: Life is inviolable from the moment of conception until age thirteen. Between the ages of thirteen and eighteen, however, parents can have their child "unwound," whereby all of the child's organs are transplanted into different donors, so life doesn't technically end. Connor is too difficult for his parents to control. Risa, a ward of the state is not enough to be kept alive. And Lev is a tithe, a child conceived and raised to be unwound. Together, they may have a chance to escape and to survive.

Nici nu vreau sa imi imaginez o asemenea viata 0-0 , dar cartea pare sa ofere o lectura foarte buna.

Nu este exact genul meu dar merita.

Imi aminteste de povestile bunicilor de pe vremea lui Ceausescu, desi nici nu se poate compara cu ce se povesteste in carte.

Si soarele e o stea
