UnWholly, Unwind Sequel (spoilers)

Has anyone else read this book yet? Want to discuss it?

I read it & up for discussion!

I loved the first book & couldn't put it down. I couldn't get into Unwholly the same way.

I have to agree that the first one seemed more intriguing. Although, it was the first dystopian type book to ever read.

I am 80% through the book and should finish it today.

So far though, I am shocked that Risa was so mean towards Cam. I don't recall her being like that in Unwind.

I think the entire Cam storyline was why I didn't like the book as much.

What drew me into Unwind, is I could actually see all of this happening... especially in poor, over populated countries. The book felt realistic and scary. With Unwholly, I didn't buy it. I know they can clone animals and such, but I didn't belive a character like Cam could exist. Especially when they mentioned how his speech patterns changed depending on what part of the brain he was using.... it just seemed all too far fetched for me personally.

Cindy - I think you hit the nail on the head. It's SO much more fantasy compared to the first book.

I was SO nauseated by the description of Starkey breaking his own wrist. Oh my gosh.

[cindy1993]

Oh! I forgot about that one.. yep, it was pretty detailed, huh?

That was another thing that bothered me. Cam was almost like Roland 2.0.

By the way, when I finished Unwind I got curious & googled info & learned that the film rights were sold. I will be curious to see how it plays on the screen.

[blueshirt2003]

I think a movie would be fascinating.

I look forward to the 3rd book. I wonder how crazy Cam will be with regards to getting Risa back.

And, I felt so awful for Trace when he drowned.
