Review of UnDivided by Neal Shusterman

Review of Neal Shusterman's UnDivided
Release Date: October 14th, 2014

Synopsis as found on GoodReads.com:

Teens control the fate of America in the fourth and final book in the New York Times bestselling Unwind dystology by Neal Shusterman.

Proactive Citizenry, the company that created Cam from the parts of unwound teens, has a plan: to mass produce rewound teens like Cam for military purposes. And below the surface of that horror lies another shocking level of intrigue: Proactive Citizenry has been suppressing technology that could make unwinding completely unnecessary. As Conner, Risa, and Lev uncover these startling secrets, enraged teens begin to march on Washington to demand justice and a better future.

But more trouble is brewing. Starkey’s group of storked teens is growing more powerful and militant with each new recruit. And if they have their way, they’ll burn the harvest camps to the ground and put every adult in them before a firing squad—which could destroy any chance America has for a peaceful future.

After 4 books & 5 years, it is finally over... I was hoping it would keep going, but at some point all good things must come to an end. I have been a HUGE fan of this series since I picked up Unwind all those years ago. To see an end to the stories of Conner, Risa, & Lev was a really sad thing to witness. And a complete end it is. With the deaths of multiple characters & the happy endings of some, this is an ending I wont soon forget.

In this book, Starkey is still causing panic everywhere he goes. He now has the backing of the Clapper organization. They are supplying him with the weapons he needs to take out the Chop Shops and save all of the "storked" children. Bam is finally waking up to his ways & with the help of Hayden, maybe they can finally be the people to end his tyranny.

Cam is now owned by the US government and is soon to be the face of Rewinding for the Army. With his most recent addition of nanites in his brain, he has no memory of the girl he fell in love with. Whenever a memory of Risa pops up, it is immediately removed. He may be the face of Rewinding and the Proactive Citizenry's most prized accomplishment, but he may the only being standing that can stop them from taking over the world. What will happen when he discovers a mysterious building out in the fields of Molokai island.

Risa & Conner are in the basement where his freedom seemed to start the first time. They are being hidden by Sonia Rhienschild, the widow of the late scientific genius who invented the organ printer. Never heard of it? That is because Proactive Citizenry had Jansen Rhienschild & all of his research swept under the rug. The printer is thought to be only a myth. What will happen if it gets into the hands of someone who can really do something with it?

Jasper T Nelson, the Juvenile Authority cop who let Conner get away, has teamed up with Argent Skinner. Together they are capturing AWOL teens to sell to a flesh trader. They both are looking for Conner to get back at him for different reasons... they only want revenge. Skinner holds the key to Nelson finding Conner, but he wont give it up until Nelson shows him the tricks of the trade of being a Parts Pirate.

Some will live & some will die in this EPIC finally to a world-wide phenomena. UnDivided was a book worth picking up & was very difficult to put back down. If you haven't read the Unwind Dystology, you are really missing out. Pick up your copy wherever books are sold... and get ready for a thrill ride you wont soon forget.
