The Measure

This is one very satisfying read--from the chaotic intersecting lives of complete strangers, to seeing the puzzle pieces snap into place.

I honestly could see the real world upended by knowing when their time is at an end. The opportunities, the helpers, the selfish, the unstable--everyone felt like living, breathing people.

The only fight I have after turning the last page was Amie's decision. Knowing how it would affect everyone around her, she still took what I felt to be the selfish route, but those people are out there too so still very believable.

A lot of questions can be asked about motivation, anonymity, fulmillment and what it means to lead a life well-lived.

Great read.

This was a great book, and it's premise has provided me with hours and hours of material to ponder about.  I did think that the story was a bit too political/partisan...but I suppose it was unavoidable, on some level.  I just hate how people are so divided about EVERYTHING.  Anyway, the book was a great one though!

An absolutely fantastic book!

A very thought provoking read, with a wonderful cast of characters with the exception of Anthony Rollins and his wife, Katherine! They were the worst and I really couldn't stand them.

The book was beautifully written, with plenty of sad and heartwarming moments. I loved how, when the need arose, people were quick to come together despite the efforts of others to cause division.

I'm so indecisive, I have no idea what I would have done if I'd found myself with a box on my doorstep!

Thank you to PH and Nikki Erlick for the chance to read this book.

Highly recommend it!
