Two teens must learn the "art of killing" in this Printz Honor-winning book, the first in a chilling new series from Neal Shusterman, author of the New York Times bestselling Unwind dystology. A world with no hunger, no disease, no war,Review Quotes
"Shusterman is no stranger to pushing boundaries. Scythe owes an obvious debt to Unwind (2007) and its sequels, and this succeeds 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 what happens to men when there are no monsters. When our reach does not exceed our grasp, when comfort is more easily obtained than struggle, when our essential humanity doesn't burn out but becomes slowly irrelevant, what becomes of us? Readers will find many things in these pages. Answers to such unsettling questions will not be among them."--Maggie Reagan "Booklist, STARRED REVIEW" "Elegant and elegiac, brooding but imbued with gallows humor, Shusterman's dark tale thrusts realistic, likeable teens into a surreal situation and raises deep philosophic questions. A thoughtful and thrilling story of life, death, and meaning."--Kirkus ReviewsDimensions (Overall): 8.1 Inches (H) x 5.4 Inch (W) x 1.3 Inch (D)

This is exactly the type of book I like. I generally don't reread books but I had to reread Scythe and Thunderhead for the discussion we're having in MBC Book Buddies (on Facebook). I like books that borderline reality but are written and evolved so well that they feel plausible. I'm giving Scythe 5 stars, again.
