Unwind Part 1

This story although interesting, was very confusing when it jumped around from character to character. I didn't like how the author took the view of one character and did the different views of the other characters in different parts then jumped back to the first character. I also feel like the author made up words like "tithe" which I have never heard of and didn't like. But in contrast I liked description the author used through this part, especially when explaining Connors dream of him being a kid drinking a type of cider, it made me feel as though I was there drinking that cider and being a part of the book. The author did a great job of making me,the reader,feel as though I was the character going though their emotions. For example Connors emotions when he had built up anger towards his parents and wanting them to feel guilty, and Marcus's emotion when giving his toast at Lev's party. I don't understand how parents could just give up their children!! You brought them to earth, you shouldn't take them away just because they did something wrong or there is an over population, that part of the book is messed up and completely wrong. I would like to know what went through the authors mind when writing the novel. Who in their right mind thinks of ideas like this?!
