I just read this book a few weeks ago!!

You're right - it is SO GOOD. And I know which scene you're talking about. Man, it was inexorable in its creepiness.

Completely agree. This book helped me with my own dystopian YA, since I'd never done one before. UNWIND made me realize that you don't have to have spaceships to write sci-fi, and you don't have to spill blood and guts onto the page to write about torture and horror.

Love. This. Book.

(Hate chapter 61. Had nightmares.) *shudder*
