Publisher's summary

How did Lev Calder move from an unwillingly escaped Tithe to a clapper? In this revealing short story, Neal Shusterman opens a window on Lev’s adventures between the time he left CyFi and showed up at the Graveyard. Pulling elements from Neal Shusterman’s critically acclaimed Unwind and giving hints about what is to come in the riveting sequel, UnWholly, this short story is not to be missed.

WE LEARN DEEPLY

PARTS PIRATES
Not sure this answered any questions? If you are a huge Un Fan, you will want to listen. If you are just a warm fan, it will not be that interesting. Book one is great, everyone should read that. I have not read book Two yet, but I will. Lev spends time with some Indians, sorry Native Americans, sorry Chance People and he is treated well, But and it is a big But.

CHANCE PEOPLE
The newness of the whole Un, may be wearing off on me and I found the Chance People with their stilted talk and different beliefs, just a bit boring. Not that their is anything wrong with believing in Animal Spirits and transplanting animal hearts into humans is not any more unbelievable then being Un, I just could not get into it. I might be too old?

A good filler

This was a good filler for what happened but they pretty much explained it all in the rest of the series.

Slow start

At first, I found the story to be a bit slow moving and considered not finishing it. However, it tells a key story not included in the main series. I'm glad I stuck with it.

Left speechless

This is a very important book in the unwind series. There are a lot of reviews claiming this wasn’t a good read, but don’t listen to them. Listen to the book instead and choose for yourself. The narrator Luke Daniels does a good job at reading and keeps the voice accents consistent. This story will help bridge the gap between Lev’s actions in the first book, and give a little bit of backstory to the second book.

in short: give this a listen. it’s short, but sweet and important.

A nice look back into the Unwind world

I enjoyed this. It was a nice novella to get me back into the world after a long break from the 1st one. The narration was good, and I liked the new characters that were introduced.

A heart-wrenching, beautiful story of love. It's

the kind of thing you wish people would do for one another but not have to.

Interesting new characters

I loved the character development in the res. I thought this would fill in the blanks between Joplin & the graveyard. It did, a little, but left me wanting more.
