 Thou shalt kill.
A world with no hunger, no disease, no war, no misery. Humanity has conquered all those things, and has even conquered death. Now scythes are the only ones who can end life—and they are commanded to do so, in order to keep the size of the population under control. Citra and Rowan are chosen to apprentice to a scythe—a role that neither wants. These teens must master the “art” of taking life, knowing that the consequence of failure could mean losing their own.  So many have anxiously awaited John Green's new novel (his first since The Fault in Our Stars.) The author had scrapped countless attempts at a new novel. Upon reading first few pages, I clearly heard John Green's voice. So excited to see what internal journey he takes on us on.
 The Page Turners Book club met in September and choose Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo. Stay turned for our next meeting date.

Salinger Little Black Lies by Sandra Block The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli The Glass Sentence by S.E. Grove
Love the alternating voices...I cannot trust either of the main characters. (Eva)
Strange, but great to read. (Jay) Nick is totally broken by the antagonist. I would like to know where the author got inspiration from before writing this novel. (Minh) |
