Yep

I love this series but when I ordered it as a hardback I didn't receive the dust cover with it. Which it said it had with it

Read this book

Loved this book. The interesting part was life is not something that is fragil anymore. You can live forever, unless you have been chosen to be gleaned. A group of elite people have been gleaning people to keep the balance in the population. Every year a scythe takes an apprentice to teach and hopefully be selected to be a new scythe.

Loved it!

Great story! Very interesting read.

This is a must read!

I loved this book way more than I thought I would when I first picked it up. The gleaning journals on the pages before each chapter were filled with thought-provoking lines from other Scythes, and I really enjoyed their views on humanity and the "mortality age." Throughout the novel I couldn't help but wonder what life would be like if death was "the exception and not the rule." The whole idea of society approved killers was very unique and I couldn't put it down! Definitely worth the read!
