I love Shusterman’s Unwind Dystology. In fact, Unwind was the first book in the dystopian genre that I enjoyed let alone LOVED!! I still recommend the series to readers. Nonetheless, I was thrilled to read Scythe and I was not disappointed. There is constant action throughout and his novels are so thought-provoking. Even though his ideas are so far-fetched (a community that conquered death so scythes are required to “randomly” kill off people in order to control the population), you are still constantly thinking, What If? I believe this is because he makes the stories believable with the characters – they become your friends or foes, depending on circumstance. Scythe is well deserving of the Teens’ Top Ten nominee and has my vote!
