good to practice your english
Title: Scythe
Author: Neal Shusterman
Publisher: Walker Books
Age: 14+
Number of pages: 443
favorite characters: Scythe Volta and Scythe Curie
In a perfect world, you can only die by being gleaned by a professional scythe. When Citra and Rowan are chosen to be future scytes, they know there is no other option. They must learn the art of killing.
Later, one of them will become a scythe, the other will get his normal life back.
Or so they thought. Because after that, one of them gets the assignment to glean the other.
I'm used to reading my books in Dutch, but since I want to improve my English and read another book by Neal Shusterman (Dry) before, this book seemed perfect to me.
This book, the first book in the 'Arc of a scythe' series, is full of plot twists. And that's what makes the book so exciting.
I really liked the story, and it's perfect for people who want to practice their English.
I definitely plan to read the rest of this series as well!
A small part of the book:
Rowan looked to the screen, grimacing, and pointed to the man with bed-hair.
“Him,”Rowan said. “Glean him.”
Rowan closed his eyes. He had just condemned a man to death because he’d had a bad hair day.
Then he felt Faraday put a firm hand on his shoulder.
He thought he’d get a reprimand, but instead, the scythe said, “Well done.”
