BOOK REVIEW

THIS is very different and will cause you to stop and think.  My daughter recommended this book and it proved to be one of those that stayed with me for more than a short time---where did the author get this idea from?  Well written--this is the narrative of the sudden occurrence of everyone in the world 22 and over knowing the age at which they would die.  I am NOT going to spoil it with any more explanation.  It caused me to ponder for a long time on all of the questions behind the story and the startling similarity with society today.   I will leave you with this exert from the back of the book description.  I could not have said it better~

"Enchanting and deeply uplifting.  The Measure is a sweeping, ambitious, and invigorating story about family, friendship, hope and destiny that encourages us to live life to the fullest.

  2. Having grown dissatisfied with my usual preferred genre (mystery/thriller) I've been looking for something 'outside the box.' Measure sounds like a winner, and I've already put a hold at our public library ... if I can wait that long.

Your comments keep my writing and often cause me to think. A written form of a hug or a pat on the back and an occasional slap into reality---I treasure them all!
