I so didn't like UnWholly at first. But you know, I really enjoyed it by the end. 
 There were several narrators throughout the book, and at first, I didn't like the new additions to the novel. I didn't really care for the new narrators, who are Cam, Miracolina and Starkey. Miracolina, I felt neutral about. She was annoying, and I didn't really like her, but I also didn't care enough either way. Starkey...I don't think we're supposed to like him, which is fine, because he's pretty unlikeable. Of the 3, Cam was the most interesting. He's composed entirely of body parts from Unwinds, and is the first of his kind. I can't imagine what that would have to be like, but even he was a little too unlikeable, with his desire to have Risa by his side. 
 As for Rise, Lev, and Connor, it was nice to see them and the journey they've taken since Unwind ended. Things definitely come up and happen, and they have their work cut out for them. 
 I really liked learning about how unwinding came to be. Things were pretty bad for teens- budget cuts in terms of school, unemployment...the future was not looking bright for them. They protested and marched and became known as feral teens. That, combined with new advancements in medicine, meant that there was an easier way to deal with teens misbehaving. Especially when it's going on as the 2nd civil war was going on. I hope that's not in our future, but it really does feel like it is a possibility. 
 Shusterman does such a good job at introducing characters and issues...and how he shows multiple perspectives on different issues. I really like that it, because you can draw your own conclusions. And it doesn't feel like he's taking a side, which is cool. And good- he seems very willing to give time to both sides. Neutral is good. 
 I kind of wish I re-read Unwind. I know I read it a few months ago, but just so I could have everything super-fresh in my mind. At times, it felt like very much like a sequel...like, hey, guys, here's another book for you. But overall, it's a pretty good 2nd book, and didn't really fall into the dreaded Middle Book Syndrome thing. 
 UnWholly gets a 4 out of 5. It's just as good as Unwind.
