If this book isn’t enough to make you want to start hoarding goods for the apocalypse, I’m not sure what is. I’ve seen reviews saying that everything in this book happens too fast, that people wouldn’t lose their humanity as quickly as it happens in this book. I disagree. People already have a tendency toward selfishness (which would be totally understandable in a case such as this) and intense, life-threatening circumstances such as these would only heighten that predisposition.

Neal Shusterman is a very talented writer. His stories are unique and engrossing. I will read anything he publishes...(really need the 3rd Arc of a Scythe book, btw)

I listened to this on audiobook, which was done very well. There are several perspectives, and each is voiced by a different actor.

One note, maybe don’t listen to this right before bed. I had some crazy dreams because of this book!
