I kept seeing this book around the book world. Everyone had given it such amazing reviews. It was also everywhere over the book stores. I finally picked the book up and gave it a try. I had almost no idea what it was about. I mean the cover was a bit of a giveaway that it is about reapers.

I love Neal Shusterman’s writing. He is extremely talented. Everything is so vivid when you read. The characters are so vivid. There is an active backstory to every character, yet you never feel bogged down when you read. The topic is a bit gruesome yet is presented in a way that is not over the top. The book really makes you think.

When the book ended I was ready to pick up book two. Since I could not I went out and started another series of his. I love when I read a book that is well worth all the hype that I had heard.
