![]() Suicide is still considered a taboo subject in many cultures, so to see a YA novel face it head-on whilst remaining sensitive is worthy of applause. This book has both proponents and detractors. James is the only person Sloane feels she can be herself with, but showing any feeling could end with them being sent to The Program. Anyone who ends up in the Program comes back feeling nothing. Suicide is an international epidemic and any betrayal of emotion could land Sloane in The Program (think Big Brother). The Program follows Sloane, a teenaged girl who knows just how dangerous it is to cry in front of anyone. The dangers of corporate control at the expense of people has never been more prevalent, and This Mortal Coil explores this and other themes ably.īooks like Scythe often explore stigmatised subjects.

This Mortal Coilfollows Catarina as she struggles to find the vaccine to a devastating plague. ![]() ![]() ![]() SchwabĨ Books like Scythe This Mortal Coil, by Emily Suvadaīooks like Scythe often deal with death and corruption.
