Eight ordinary people. One extraordinary choice.

It seems like any other day. You wake up, get ready, and head out.

But today, when you open your front door, waiting for you is a small box, holding the answer to the number of years you will live.

Suddenly, everyone on earth is faced with the same choice: Do they wish to know how long they’ll live? And, if so, what will they do with that knowledge?

Review of 'Measure' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Some books just grab you. This one was hugely thought-provoking, from the synopsis alone I knew it'd be interesting but of course the devil is in the detail: the execution was flawless, and the impact and motivations of the characters was brilliantly realised. There are a number of books and authors which have a lasting, resonant impact on me, and this is joining them.
