Summary: The first book in an epic trilogy.
Review: "Scorpion Shards" is my greatest accomplishment to date -- it is my most complex book, and it addresses many issues, without holding back the momentum of the story. It was the hardest book to write, and I feel it's my best. Publishers Weekly wrote, in a starred review: "...readers will be drawn into this tale just as inexorably as its protagonists are impelled to find one another." Kirkus wrote, in a "pointer" review: "The dramatic finale where the six kids confront their personal demons is more satisfying thatn the infamous prom scene from Stephen King's 'Carrie'." Scorpion Shards was selected as a New York Public Library "Best Book for Teenagers."

Summary: The Best Book I Ever read
Review: ...in Scorpion Shards. This books is amazingly diverse in areas of interest, and has such great detail that it is hard not to imagine yourself standing next to the characters seeing what Shusterman is describing. This book has little pieces of information from many different fields, such as astrology, astronomy, and even a little biology! I am writing this review within 15 minutes (give or take) of finishing this book, and I would storngly recommend this book to anybody. I know I intend to purcahse the second book as soon as possible, Thief of Souls

Summary: shards
Review: Dillon Cole is 15. He loves to destroy things, but not for fun. There's some invisable force inside him that "makes" him do it. So in order to feed this "wrecking hunger," the same power that makes people go insane when they touch him, he has to keep on destroying. Deanna chang makes everyone afraid. Even herself. When she's around people, she feels claustrophobic. Houses couuld fall on her. Things could kill her. And people around her are so afraid. Winston is growing shorter and paralyzing people, and Tory is a living bacteria. Not to mention Miachael, who makes women fall in love, and men want to kill. Or Lourdes, who doesn't eat, but gets fatter. Who are these extremely screwed up kids? They are the Scorpion Shards. Six kids that have enough power to kill or hurt everyone around them. Except themselves. So why are they like this? Not everyone has the power to strike fear into everyone else. Or see patterns in everything. Something is causing this, other than hormones. Scorpion Shards tells this story about these six innocent kids, who have had the universe single them out. Their journey takes them through pain, worlds, and death. A wonderful book to read for anyone who likes to see teenagers and out-of-this-world problems.

Summary: The best book I have ever read
Review: I think that "Scorpion Shards" and the Star-Shards trilogy is the best ever. I began to read it in my 7th grade year since my 6th grade techer told me to read books by Shusterman because she thought that I might like it. Scorpion shards is just awesome..It has an incrdible plot and make you want to keep going and when u stop reading it.. u still think about it.. Just getting through half of Scorpion Shards I wanted to read the whole trilogy.

Review: Scorpion Shards is a great book. It deals with human suffering, forgiveness, love, and anger. A lot of teens have a little bit of the books characters in them. I recommend this book to all teens, because when you start it, you won't put the book down.
