Product Details Paperback: 448 pages Publisher: Walker Books (1 Feb. 2018) Language: English ISBN-10: 1406379247 ISBN-13: 42 Product Dimensions: 12.9 x 2.6 x 19.8 cm Review This powerful tale is guaranteed to make readers think deeply. Publishers Weekly (starred review) This first volume in an anticipatedtrilogy offers forbidden love, mass murders, cool philosophical musings, and awell-developed futuristic society-plenty to guarantee interest in the plannedtwo followups. BCCB (starred review) Shusterman starts off this series indramatic fashion as he creates an engrossing world that pulls readers in andrefuses to let them go… A truly astounding, unputdownable read and a fast-paced beginning to an excellent sci-fi series. A must-have. School LibraryJournal (starred review) Elegant and elegiac, brooding but imbued withgallows humor, Shusterman’s dark tale thrusts realistic, likeable teens into asurreal situation and raises deep philosophic questions. A thoughtful andthrilling story of life, death, and meaning. Kirkus (starred review) Scythe owes an obvious debt to Unwind (2007) and its sequels, and thissucceeds as a sort of shadow companion to Patrick Ness’ Chaos Walking trilogy:instead of exploring the ways in which men are monsters, this deals in whathappens to men when there are no monsters. When our reach does not exceed ourgrasp, when comfort is more easily obtained than struggle, when our essentialhumanity doesn’t burn out but becomes slowly irrelevant, what becomes of us?Readers will find many things in these pages. Answers to such unsettlingquestions will not be among them. –Booklist (starred review) About the AuthorNeal Shusterman is an award-winning author whose books include the New YorkTimes bestselling Unwind series and Challenger Deep, which won a National BookAward.
