Book Review – Arc of a Scythe Series : A Review in Gif’s✬


Hello Bookworms, I have always wanted to do an ENTIRE book review using ONLY gifs, but I just never have! As I was reading this trilogy; Arc of a Scythe, I felt as if it would be perfect for one of these posts. Now let’s start with book one! Scythe!!

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is 24636629.gif
Scythes, need to “glean”(kill) random people so that the world can keep running.

Book # 1 : Scythe by Neal Shusterman

Oh My God Reaction GIF
Little Rascals Awww GIFThe Office No GIF

This first book gave me a SHOCK right off the bat. i had NOT expected the writing and the plot to be THAT good. And the cute little romance scenes were a little bonus❀

Book # 2 : Thunderhead by Neal Shusterman

Happy The Office GIF

Although I loved the first book sequels usually fail to live up to their expectations. Thankfully, I was pleasantly surprised as “Thunderhead” brought me amazing new characters, and plot twists I could never have imagined.

Book # 3 : The Toll by Neal Shusterman

The ending… OMG, all my Rowan and Citra shipping dreams have been fulfilled. I have never read a series that was so well thought out, with absolutely amazing characters, that I was able to love and hate simultaneously and had a perfect ending!

Neal you AMAZE ME!

Thanks for reading! Should I do more book reviews in gifs? Do you prefer this style, or a more traditional review?

    My husband and i felt now lucky that Raymond could round up his research out of the ideas he came across using your web site. It’s not at all simplistic just to choose to be giving freely strategies people today may have been making money from. And we also figure out we’ve got you to be grateful to for that. All of the explanations you made, the easy web site menu, the relationships you help instill – it’s most sensational, and it’s really letting our son in addition to us believe that that situation is pleasurable, and that’s extremely important. Thanks for everything!

    I do accept as true with all of the ideas you have offered for your post. They are very convincing and can certainly work. Still, the posts are too brief for novices. Could you please prolong them a little from next time? Thank you for the post.

    I’m currently rereading Thunderhead in preparation for The Toll because I bought it when it first came out (and still have yet to read it). I can’t wait but I probably won’t get to the Toll until late November or in December!
