Unwinding is a twisted way to find the solution to this problem, that isn’t really a solution at all. While the science does not seem all that waterproof to me, that does not take away from the concept and message it sends.
The characters are very classic Neal Shusterman I have to say. The roles these characters play reminded me a lot of arc of the scythe.
I think this book truly plays beautifully what it means to be alive, what death is, and where that leads people. I cannot properly express everything this book tries to tell you, but I can say for certain that it worked for me.

I strongly advise to NOT read this book if you feel strongly like the content warnings will disturb you. If the disturbing feeling is what you're looking for, this is an amazing, eye opening book.cosmicwillow's review against another edition
