I like Unwind by Neal S. (it was VERY awesome by the way) , and all of the PJO books by Rick R.

I haven't read Unwind yet, what's it about?

It's about a society where they "Unwind" children, which means they take 99.9% of their body parts. Say, if someone broke an arm, an unwind's arm would replace it. Abortion is illegal, so if you don't want a child, you place it on the steps of someone's house. The homeowners are the offical caregivers of the child. It really made me think about stuff..There are three unwinds trying to escape from the unwind camp.

Wow, um... that sounds disturbing.

That sound ummmm, vrey disurbing. I think I want to read it though.

It is, but it made me think, which is good :)

When do people not think?

I guess your right. I know alot of people who dont think,dont care what happens to other or how they hurt them. Thats off topic though,so I am going to stop now.

Think as in think intellcually. As in stuff you don't usually think about..Plus you can read a book and not learn anything from it.

Thats true.

You like Carrie Ryan? I like her writing.

Choosing just one favorite author is hard.
Aprilynne Pike, Suzanne Collins, Rick Riordan, Maggie Stiefvater, Cassandra Clare, Dan Brown, Michael Crichton, Joanne Rowling, Becca Fitzpatrick, Catherine Fisher, James Patterson...the list goes on practically forever.

And Stephanie Meyer has excellent taste in books.

And the books too?
Wings, The Hunger Games, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, The Mortal Instruments, Robert Langdon series, Next/Jurassic Park/Timeline, Harry Potter, Hush, Hush, Incarceron/Oracle Prophecies, Maximum Ride and a bunch of thriller books.

I like Christopher Pike, Garth Nix...

Christopher Pike, wrote "Thirst" book seires. Love those books.

I've never read his Vampire books (I don't read Vampire books). I liked his Alosha series.

That was okay not my favorite, "Thrist" was better.

Why wouldn't they take the body parts once their already dead. Why do they have to kill them?

Well they want to have a smaller population. Plus, if the parents don't want them, they could just get rid of them for "a good cause". Plus some of them do it for religious reasons. They were "born to be unwound".

What is their population?
