The Toll, by Neal Shusterman


The Story takes place over a few years, starting with the main characters Citra and Rowan in hiding. They discover that humanity hasn't been able to have space colonies, as they have purposely been foiled by scythes. The Thunderhead, the (computer mind in charge of the earth), starts building ships on an island. Meanwhile, the Corruption of enjoying killing in the scythedom spreads, as the leader Scythe Goddard discriminates against certain groups. The Thunderhead starts indirectly interfering.


Of Course, anybody who read the first and second books would surely enjoy The Toll, by Neal Shusterman, I think the ending is quite fulfilling, and the storyline is filled with unpredictable twists and turns that keep the story fun to read. The book brings all its problems to a close, and has very unexpected solutions. People looking for a fun book that would surprise them throughout should read this series to the end, which the end is this book. This book made me think about discrimination, and hope's influence.
