Scythe by Neal Shusterman
Has anyone read...
Has anyone read this book? I just finished it and really liked it, and although it seemed like it might be kinda dark it's not really. I'm pretty sure it's part of a trilogy so I might read the other 2 books. Anyway it's basically about a world where people are basically immortal so there are people called scythes whose job is to control the population. It really made me think and I would recommend it.

Oh yea, I just read that one. Some teen friends of mine when I was like 10 read it, and I've wanted to read it since then. Er- fair warning, the books my teen friends were into at that point tended towards the very graphic/dark side of things, so uh... I kinda think the next two books might be slightly even darker.
(Why do 12-year-olds seem so young to me already? I'm only a year older, for crying out loud.)

Yeah. there are two books. There is Scythe, Thunderhead, and The Toll. The Toll has just come out. Don't worry two much about violence, Thunderhead only has a little bit. I haven't read the Toll yet though.

I read it and really liked it but when I tried to explain the premise to my mom she was weirded out. She lets me read whatever I want though. I haven't read the last book yet. I've been waiting for it to come out for a year now!

I’ve read all three of them, and they’re really good! I do feel that they get worse as the series progresses, though, so proceed at your own risk.

Yes! Scythe is such a great book. I read the entire trilogy within a month, and I can't recommend it enough. I keep telling my family they should read it, but sadly, they never take my recommendations. :(
Who's your favorite scythe? I personally like Scythe Faraday the most, though Scythe Curie is a close second. I also like Ben, even though he's not a scythe.

oh, the whole Arc Of A Scythe trilogy is pretty cool. i didn't love the way Thunderhead played out so much, but The Toll was a pretty great ending. definitely worth reading the rest of them!

Oh my gosh I read Scythe I think in 2016-2017ish when I was twelve and absolutely loved it, but kind of forgot about the series until recently because I saw the final book in a boostore. I thought The Toll was pretty good, and I liked it better than Thunderhead.
