I know I enjoyed it, but it did feel much the same as Unwind. Same plot structure, similar characters--but just more of everything. Oh, but I did really like the addition of PSAs and advertisements in between different scenes. I found those added another layer of eerie controversy to everything.<br /><br />I wouldn't say I enjoyed this one less than Unwind--since it is just a bunch more of the stuff I already loved so much before--but there's just not a whole lot to really go on about. It is what it is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-62567619266631236242016-05-01T07:01:15.827-06:002016-05-01T07:01:15.827-06:00Thanks!

I loved the first book because I’d never seen anything like it before.<br /><br />Aj @ <a href="http://ajsterkel.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Read All The Things!</a>Aj @ Read All The Things!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02860483414620371093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-20192860298570856022016-05-01T06:57:58.790-06:002016-05-01T06:57:58.790-06:00I’ve read almost all of the books now, and Cam is ...I’ve read almost all of the books now, and Cam is still my favorite.

I'm glad that you enjoyed this one, even if it didn't quite live up to the first!<br /><br />Nicole @ <a href="http://feedyourfictionaddiction.com" rel="nofollow">Feed Your Fiction Addiction</a>Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addictionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637114079800138680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-70703348320620920962016-04-28T19:49:53.650-06:002016-04-28T19:49:53.650-06:00I do agree that there are some "rewound"...I do agree that there are some "rewound" bits in this (which, by the way, FABULOUS job using book terms to describe the book, I love it!) but to me it almost felt like maybe that was the point? Idk, I think also, Neal Shusterman could write gibberish on a napkin and I'd shell out $20 to read it soooo... But no, you are definitely right, it isn't as original. I don't know if anything could have topped the first one though, since it was so outrageous! <br /><br />I am excited to hear your thoughts on Undivided! I still haven't read UnBound (which, let's face it, is a HUGE fail) so I will need to do that ASAP!

The fact that there's so much more world building that puts unwinding into perspective makes me a little more comfortable with moving forward. I also had a really hard time buying into the premise of Unwind. Cam sounds like the character this series needs too! I didn't really connect to any of the characters from the first book. Great review! <br /><br />Tracy @ <a href="http://www.cornerfolds.com" rel="nofollow">Cornerfolds</a>Tracy https://www.blogger.com/profile/10715236765292209452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-4161962477031846122016-04-26T07:30:48.928-06:002016-04-26T07:30:48.928-06:00The whole “unwinding” thing is hard for me to buy,...The whole “unwinding” thing is hard for me to buy, but when I look past it, these books are a lot of fun.
