Name Of The Book Ive Read: Unwind (Also wrote EverLost)
The Author: Neal Shusterman
A Description Of The Book..
Connor's parents want to be rid of him because he's a troublemaker. Risa has no parents and is being unwound to cut orphanage costs. Lev's unwinding has been planned since his birth, as part of his familys strict religion. Brought together by chance, and kept together by desperation, these three unlikely companions make a harrowing cross-country journey, knowing their lives hang in the balance. If they can survive until their eighteenth birthday, they can't be harmed- but when every piece of them, from their hands to their hearts, are wanted by a world gone mad, eighteen seems far, far away.
Every Once In A While I Post More And More Of This Book Soo Stay Tuned. Oh And This Is Only Some Of Chapter 1.. I Didnt Get Enough Time To Type The Rest But Still.
Part 1: Triplicate
Chapter 1: Connor
“There are places you can go,” Ariana tells him, “and a guy as smart as you has a decent chance of surviving to eighteen.”
Connor isn’t so sure, but for a moment. Her eyes are sweet violet with streaks of gray. She’s such a slave to fashion always getting the newest pigment injection the second it’s in style. Connor was never into that. He’s always kept his eyes the color they came in. Brown. He never even got tattoos, like so many kids get these days when they’re little. The only color on his skin is the tan it takes during the summer, but now in November, that tan has long faded. He tries not to think about the fact that he’ll never see the summer again. At least not as Connor Lassiter. He still can’t believe that his life is being stolen from him at sixteen.
Ariana’s violet eyes begin to shine as they fill with tears that flow down her cheeks when she blinks. “Connor, I’m so sorry.” She holds him, and for a moment it seems as if everything is okay, as if they are the only two people on Earth. For that instant, Connor feels invincible, untouchable … but she lets go, the moment passes, and the world around him returns. Once more he is just a marked kid, a week short of unwinding.
The soft, hopeful things Ariana tells him don’t help now. He can barely hear her over the rush of traffic. This place where they hide from the world is one of those dangerous places that make adults shake their heads, grateful that their own kids aren’t stupid enough to hang out on the ledge of a freeway overpass. For Connor it’s Not about stupidity, or even rebellion-it’s about feeling life.
So Thats All for Right Now, Not A Real Pull U In Kind Of Story So Far, When I Put The Rest Up I Always Start With The Last Paragraph You've Read Already.
