Review Detail

The concept of this book was what first grabbed me.  The idea that
society could get to the point where they think harvesting a body of
its part is not really killing a person but letting them live on in
other people is just disturbing.  In fact, its so crazy that I can see
after any big disaster or war people actually falling for it and
supporting the idea.   At one point in the book you are actually there
for the unwinding of one of the characters and talk about disturbing.

Connor initially appears to be a jerk that deserves to be unwound
but from his interaction with Risa he soon realizes the person he can
become.  Although their journey was not an easy one we see how Connor,
Risa and Lev change as they are on the run and they realize the world
is not really what they thought it was and what they can do to change
it.  I thought this was a really thought provoking book for both adults
and teens.
