This book is beginning to get way to good. I am starting to have trouble setting it down because of how interesting the story gets. I had to make the harsh decision of reading on last night. It was harsh because I chose to do that rather than type up this lit./reading circle letter. I know that you guys are already done reading your copies of the book, because you are two extremely fast readers, but I am starting to feel my reading skill get better too. The plot of this book makes me fear for whatever events will occur next. This causes me to create educated guesses (in which many have been prove true) and read on at a faster pace once I have focused all my concentration on the book. I get easily distracted, so thank God that this book has very dramatic scenes that pull readers in. I have read up to a point a bit past the second reading mark. I plan to finish the book some time over the weekend. And now it is time to get down to business. The quote that I choose for this week is:
"I know. I deserved it, and so it's okay, says Lev. But don't you ever git me again, or you'll regret it... Lev leaves, but Conner can't sleep. Every Unwind has a story you don't want to know. He supposes that Lev now has his" (pg. 210).
The section that this quote is sited from, is an account taken through Conner's perspective. Unfortunately, he does not know of Lev's adventure he had experienced between the time they got separated until when Lev finally arrived at the Graveyard. Conner and Risa missed out on Lev's voyage he and an older boy nick-named CyFi made to the small town of Joplin. Over in that town is where Lev witnessed a terrible scene that had forced his new transformation. Lev finally got to see the origin of an Unwinds story and in the end, helped that Unwind find some closure. The way that he talks about the parents of that child feeling victimized makes that future seem as if the only thing people care about is themselves. They do not care about the physical or mental pain these children, that were once wanted by their parents at one point (because they were not storked), go through in their lives. It is the sad truth because majority of Unwind body part receivers do not give much thought of the donor that saved their life.
Conner does not need to hear Lev's story of him and CyFi. Some people (including Conner) at the Graveyard can tell that Lev is not a force to be reckon with. His appearance is way more different than before. He no longer wears his fancy and expensive tithing whites his parents had bought for him. Hell, he hates his parents now for being able to get rid of him so easily and carry on their lives as if the thirteen years with Lev never happened. Instead, Lev now wears a puffy white jacket and a cold-hard expression on his face. And now, he has joined some sort of secret group led by a leader drawn to chaos. These very few pieces have given me the idea that Lev might possibly be a Clapper. Well, there's only one way to find out.
Sincerely,
Your reading group buddy :)
