Best appreciated after getting some background on Blake's views. In everything from from Reason, to church, religion, society, marriage and laws. His study of dialectics intriguing and dangerous. His art, etchings and paintings mystical and go along with his poems. His personal mythology difficult to understand, I personally have not gotten a handle on that yet.

This is a great book. It took me a while to read, but it is a really cool story about Handel writing the Hallelujah chorus. It is a really neat story with mostly factual information. Really cool!!!

Love the few panels that feature my childhood neighborhood in Chicago, Pilsen!
Good message. However, I already knew that biting other people is wrong. I'm hoping Claire figures this out.

I liked the tiny person, but not so much the bird.

UNWIND is one of the more powerful and disturbing dystopian novels I have read. Many other dystopian books have tackled the theme of reproduction rights, but this book takes it even further, and also poses thought provoking questions regarding population control, organ donation, morality, and religion. The idea is that in the future abortion is illegal, but a parent can choose to "unwind" their child between the ages of 13-18. The "unwinds" have all their body parts harvested and donated. There are so many unwind-body parts available that most surgeons just choose to do organ replacements rather than trying to fix an existing organ. There are a few reasons why a parent may choose to unwind their child, and we follow the lives of three such characters in the book. First, Connor is somewhat of a troublemaker at school and his parents have given up on him. He finds his unwind paperwork and decides to go AWOL to avoid the harvest camp. Next, Risa has grown up in a state-run orphanage. She is well behaved, however her talents as a musician are unexceptional. The state budget simply does not have the money to keep everyone. Finally, Lev, is the tenth child in his family, and for religious reasons was raised to be a tithe. Lev has grown up all his life with the realization that he was born to fulfill his destiny as an unwind. On their way to harvest camp, the three teens find themselves thrust together as they try to survive. The characters go on a dangerous journey to try to avoid being unwound. If they can stay hidden until they turn eighteen, they are safe. On their adventures we meet other kids who have gone AWOL. The burden of running and hiding has caused the teens to be mistrustful of one another, and different faction's and bullying behavior develop. With many lives at stake, tensions run high. This story gripped me with the first pages. The story is chilling and provides a lot of food for thought. The characters are strong and sympathetic, fully formed beings. The story is told in multiple points of view, and I liked reading each character's perspective. The book is fast paced and delivers a thrilling and horrifying story. I listened to the book in audiobook format. The reader does an excellent job of portraying the different character's voices and conveying the appropriate mood of the story. Some of the scenes are very difficult to read and made my stomach churn as I was listening to the story. The book has a satisfying ending on it's own, but also leaves itself open for a sequel down the line. This is the first book I have read by this author, but I am intrigued to read more. Recommended for mature readers and dystopian fans. UNWIND is a book you won't soon forget.

Okay, I gave this book TWO second chances because I had heard great things about it, but I eventually gave up. It's certainly a gutsy choice to have a person with no empathy as your main character, but it's pretty hard to get readers to care about someone who has only a vaguely intellectual interest in other people. Especially if the story is told in the first person by this character. So as a result, we know that one guy is a vampire, and another guy has some kind of prosthetic senses, and there's a military woman and another woman with a multiple personality. We don't really get to know much else about them, or at least not by page 183. The other problem I had with this book was that it was hard to picture exactly where everyone was and what they were doing in whatever scene. Most of the action takes place in a spaceship, and you never get a clear idea of how it's set up, plus there are all these sort of virtual-reality things going on at the same time, and the vampire guy tends to hide out in his room and you don't really know where that is, and I think there are supposed to be some kind of tents that the people live in? On a spaceship? I don't know. Anyway, it's not that a book has to be easy to read; I like books that are complicated, but I think it's the mark of a good writer that you shouldn't have to be wondering where the aft thruster maintenance room is instead of just being engrossed in the story.

Everyone can find something interesting in this. Some of the stuff (about fighting in hilly areas and tired horses) isn't applicable to everyday life, but a lot of it is. The biggest revelation was that it is actually a Tao text, as opposed to mercenary and violent. Its ultimate goal is to win without fighting, and only to do battle when victory is a foregone conclusion. Also, it's very short, so you can pad your GoodReads list.

I really liked this book. It was a light-hearted fun take on the whole paranormal genre. Plus, I loved Nina and can't wait to read her story, which is currently in my to read pile. The heroine is vapid, but lovable and the hero is sexy. I really love quirky love stories and this one made me laugh out load more than a few times.
