I’ve seen a bunch of reviews of people disliking this book. Booktubers that complain about this book talk about the dystopian aspects.

As a dystopian this book isn’t that good. There is nothing in the book that would convince me that everyone against abortions would be okey with kids being token apart and used to replace other people’s injured part. They keep on saying that the unwound lives on in the other person. But if that is the case why are so many people including adults believing that the kid will be killed and don’t do a lot about it. There are a ton of people that don’t believe in wounding children, so it makes no sense why it is happening. The only people that believe in it are the ones that have a job related to unwounding kids, the parents and the catholic children.

There is a character that has his right temporal removed. I am taking a psycology class. I read this the same time we were learning the brain parts and what they do. The right temporal lobe gives you the ability to speak and some memory skills. If we had the technology to replace one person’s brain with another there is a little debate of what would happen. I don’t think the person being unwound would be able to take over the person’s body or get the same behavior’s as the person being unwound. There is possibly that memories would get mixed together between the two people. What happens when you are being unwound makes no sense but it is still an interesting debate.

Why would people agree that storking is a good idea? What if the family doesn’t have enough money? What if the parents are jerks or already have too many kids. Even if there is a rule against restorking the baby is it really the best decision to force a baby on someone? Why are kids being storked when there are still orphanage.

This is one of the books that the dystopian aspect logically make no sense. The more you look into it. Decides that this world is pretty much our world.

If you focus on it being a runaway action story then it is better. More the most parts in books, books not being logical doesn’t bother me, so i was able to focus on the action. The action is decent but still fun.

The part that got me was the characters were just ok.

Levi: it was interesting to see a brainwashed child that believed in this system then turn against the system. I still never got attached to him

Conner: we were constantly told that he was a bad boy and a hero but we weren’t shown much.

Risa- was the street smart girl of the group. She was just ok.

Conner and Risa had a little romance. I don’t think the author should of put a romance in the book because i read a few of this authors books and it is clear that he does not specialize in romance. It does not seem that he has that much interest in the romance. It is always a very minor part of his stories. This story gain nothing by adding a romance and is very meh. It makes me think why put it in at all.
