this is an interesting premise for a book! for the first half of the book i was hooked. there are a lot of characters and everyone is reacting to the appearance of these boxes (telling them how long they will live) very differently. by the middle of the book though, it felt quite repetitive and honestly was dragging a bit for me. i think this would have been so strong as a novella, but it really was just too long to hold my attention.

I really regret not choosing this for my last book club pick, as it was so thought-provoking and provides endless content for conversations. I think my rating suffered a little bit because it took me so long to read, but that's because the themes are so heavy and emotional that I had to stop and come up from air a lot to get through it.

The Measure will force you to think about mortality in many ways, and that's not an easy thing to do. I'm finding it hard to write about this book without fully getting into it (another reason I wish I'd brought it to my book club!), but I really liked it and I think it's absolutely worth the read when you're in the mindset for a bit of an emotional challenge.

A solid read. Makes you really think about making the most of the present when you don’t know what the future holds. You can only leave your mark on the world now, if that’s what you want.

I need to have a discussion about this book and maybe it would be a 4 star. I did enjoy the intrigue and how the story got my wheels to spinning. The conclusion was satisfactory. I don’t know which characters’ story I most enjoyed, but I did like how everything came together eventually. It’s a good book for discussion.
