Perfect for book clubs, Erlick's The Measure is equal parts charming and thought-provoking. It takes a philosophical question--what if everybody on earth knew exactly how long they had left to live?--and explores, with compassion and pragmatism, how the implications would trickle down into every area of modern life, from politics to intimacy., "Perfect for book clubs, Erlick's The Measure is equal parts charming and thought-provoking. It takes a philosophical question--what if everybody on earth knew exactly how long they had left to live?--and explores, with compassion and pragmatism, how the implications would trickle down into every area of modern life, from politics to intimacy." -- Marie Claire "Despite its chilling premise, Erlick's novel is an escape from--rather than a window into--our own terrifying reality." -- New York Times "So often, high-concept novels are all conceit, no heart, but Nikki Erlick gives us both in spades, a fascinating and timely setup buttressed by a compelling cast of characters finding their hard way through unprecedented times. It makes The Measure a heartfelt parable for our own unprecedented times but also its opposite: a lesson in what doesn't change even when everything else does." -- Laurie Frankel, New York Times bestselling author of One Two Three "What an incredible book! It's truly original with an intriguing premise that's beautifully executed. I loved the fact that it was written from so many POVs, each adding depth and perspective to the overall narrative which made it a rich and satisfying read. I found it gripping, poignant, and intensely thought-provoking." -- Ruth Hogan, bestselling author of The Keeper of Lost Things "A compelling, heart-breaking story of life and love with a perfect, elegant premise." -- Bridget Collins, bestselling author of The Binding "One of the most life-affirming novels I've read in a long while, The Measure is exactly what our world needs right now." -- Christina Dalcher, bestselling author of Vox "The Measure is utterly original and wonderfully mysterious. Through Erlick's deft prose and clever logic, I threw away all disbelief and fully plunged into the unsettling but life-affirming world she creates." -- Jessica Anya Blau, author of Mary Jane "The Measure is an utterly original and hugely compelling story, which drew me in from the very first page with its beautiful writing. Weeks after reading it, I'm still thinking about this smart, uplifting novel and its wonderful characters." -- Freya Sampson, author of The Last Chance Library "Nikki Erlick has created an irresistible hook about a question that everyone asks but no-one ever wants to answer. With thoughtful and compelling detail, she crafts a strange--and strangely familiar--world full of new moral and political conundrums. And while the novel is full of ideas, The Measure has a strong emotional heart--with an array of characters exploring their frightening, but sometimes beautiful new worlds. Ultimately, The Measure is about the power of human resilience, a new world where people get to choose their own kind of freedom." -- Luke Allnutt, author of We Own the Sky "A brilliant concept cleverly executed. I couldn't stop reading." -- Christina Sweeney-Baird, author of The End of Men "I doubt I will ever use the term 'life-affirming' when describing a novel again. No other book could ever measure up to what Erlick has done with this tender, original and gripping debut. I cannot think of a reader of any genre who would not find something to love in The Measure." -- Bookreporter.com, "Perfect for book clubs, Erlick's The Measure is equal parts charming and thought-provoking.

Synopsis
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The Read With Jenna Today Show Book Club Pick! "A story of love and hope as interweaving characters display: how all moments, big and small, can measure a life. If you want joy, love, romance, and hope--read with us." --Jenna Bush Hager A luminous, spirit-lifting blockbuster that asks: would you choose to find out the length of your life? Eight ordinary people. One extraordinary choice. It seems like any other day. You wake up, drink a cup of coffee, and head out. But today, when you open your front door, waiting for you is a small wooden box. The contents of this mysterious box tells you the exact number of years you will live. From suburban doorsteps to desert tents, every person on every continent receives the same box. In an instant, the world is thrust into a collective frenzy. Where did these boxes come from? What do they mean? Is there truth to what they promise? As society comes together and pulls apart, everyone faces the same shocking choice: Do they wish to know how long they'll live? And, if so, what will they do with that knowledge? The Measure charts the dawn of this new world through an unforgettable cast of characters whose decisions and fates interweave with one another: best friends whose dreams are forever entwined, pen pals finding refuge in the unknown, a couple who thought they didn't have to rush, a doctor who cannot save himself, and a politician whose box becomes the powder keg that ultimately changes everything. Enchanting and deeply uplifting, The Measure is an ambitious, invigorating story about family, friendship, hope, and destiny that encourages us to live life to the fullest.

- r***1 (177)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufThe book was exactly as described and arrived quickly. The only problem is a recurring one with this seller and other similar sellers - the book is poorly packaged in a plastic envelope and gets heavily bumped in shipping. I would like to see the books wrapped before shipment, but I understand this can't be done for cost reason. Luckily it isn't an expensive book, and I will continue to purchase basic books from this seller. A+++++
- 4***1 (1637)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufBook arrived quickly and is pretty close to "Very Good" description. Value priced and I'm glad I made the purchase as this is an excellent read. However, the book was mailed loose inside an over-sized plastic bag without any protection. Wrapped in a bubble wrap jacket would be a big help. A book can take a beating in USPS transit without some buffer. I can't tell if the bumps and dings were original or occurred in transit. I'd prefer to pay for shipping than have it sent with no protection.
