Proactive Citizenry, the company which created Cam from the parts of unwound teens, has a plan: to mass produce Rewound teens like Cam for military purposes. But below the surface is of that horror lies another shocking level of intrigue: Proactive Citizenry has been suppressing technology that could make unwinding completely unnecessary. As Conner, Risa and Lev uncover these shocking secrets, enraged teens begin to march on Washington to demand justice and a better future. But more trouble is brewing. Starkey's group of storked teens are growing more powerful and militant with each new recruit. And if they have their way, they'll burn the harvest camps to the group, and put every adult in them before a firing squad-which could destroy any chance America has for a peaceful future. Praise for UNWIND: "This is the kind of rare book that makes the hairs on your neck rise up. It is written with a sense of drama that should get it instantly snapped up for film." The Times "Gripping, brilliantly imagined futuristic thriller… The issues raised could not be more provocative - the sanctity of life, the meaning of being human - while the delivery could hardly be more engrossing or better aimed to teens." Publishers Weekly, starred review "a powerful, shocking, and intelligent novel... It's wonderful, wonderful stuff." thebookbag.co.uk "This book challenges ones ideas about life, about morality, about religion, about fanatics. It is not a comfortable read but it is thought-provoking." Carousel

A great conclusion to a great series. I loved it through and through and the end was really great and emotional. I definitely cried.

Summary (Spoiler Free): I find it really hard to summarize this book. It is the conclusion to the Unwind Dystology and much of the book is wrapping up the loose ends from the three previous books. Connor and Risa are determined to get the organ printer into the hands of a company who can mass produce them, all in the hopes of putting an end to unwinding. Cam still works behind the scenes to take down Proactive Citizenry, and Lev is ... well Lev.
My Thoughts: After the rest of this series, this book was kind of.. whomp whomp. I wanted to read it because I'd gotten this far in the series and wanted to know how it ended, but.. I don't know. It just didn't wow me. There were some unnecessary parts, and others were just plain too convenient. The parts that were supposed to get you emotionally, just didn't do it for me and I think that just shows how disconnected I was from the characters by this point in the series. It was an okay read and I'm glad that I know how things end, but I would've definitely changed some things and took out the convenience of the ending.
Summary: In the last novel of the Unwind series, Risa, Connor, Lev, Hayden, and Cam all fight to bring about the end of their society as they know it. Each character approaches the evils of society from a different angle but with a common purpose: to put an end to unwinding and Proactive Citizenry.
