So another re-read. I wanted to re-read all the books before I start the fourth one for the first time so that the story is fresh in my mind. 
 The writing style flows so well. I'm always struck at how it never seems to stick and catch like my writing often does. His writing doesn't feel stagnant or pointless pretty much ever. Definitely a role-model in the writing world. 
 Also, I'm struck anew by the how we as humans let terrible things happen and don't even blink an eye. I as a human let terrible things happen. I buy into things that I don't believe in because they're cheaper. What lives or deaths do I take for granted for my own comfort? Who died to make me my coffee? It's not unwinding, but it's a real human rights issue and one I know I want to approach with a purposefulness. 
 Neal Shusterman understands humans so well which is what makes this book as beautiful and horrible as it is. 
 EDIT So, now I've re-read it. Again. (How many times have I read this book? I don't even know.) While I may never be able to recapture the feeling of reading this book for the first time and completely surprised by the twists, I can definitely still be blown away by the brilliance. 
 Because this book is nothing, if not brilliant. 
 Everything that I wrote in the past still applies to this book. 
 Oh? And I think I love Hayden even more now. Best character ever. 
 ------------------------------------------------ 
 Brilliant. Breathtaking. Riveting. Page turner. Deep. Interesting. Vivid. 
 And I could go on, believe me. I could list whole amounts of adjectives to describe this wonderful, amazing, superb book. 
 After being nagged to read this book, I remembered that it was on my shelf after some random library sale. I was going camping so, why not? I brought it along and read it in a little more than one day. Even read it while my Mom took pictures of this adorable little bear cub. Which was pretty cute, but one glance was enough. Unwind was simply my first priority til it was finished. 
 Uh, maybe I should try some actual review speech... 
 It was a riveting character driven plot? It was. 
 Okay, can the review speech. I'm going to use typical gushing for this one. 
 From the moment I started reading, I already could tell that Shusterman knew his characters inside out, even the minor ones who just got one random chapter; like the juvey-police, or Mai, or Blaike. All the characters were so rounded and whole, I felt like I could touch them. Not just the three main characters of Connor, Risa, Lev, but Roland, the Admiral, CyFi, Pastor Dan, and Hayden too. And that's just the beginning, I could start listing random Unwinds at the graveyard who impacted me. 
 This book was just so fulfilling on all levels. It was philosophical (honestly, I stayed up all night pondering things from it,) it was an adventure that was so exciting my heart raced, it was tragic, it was disturbing, and it flowed just perfectly. 
 This book is kind of my favourite of the month.
