jmoses 's review for:
The Sudden Appearance of Hope
by Claire North
This was really really good. It's essentially a novel length exploration of the question, would you be good or evil if the only person who would know, was you.
I mean, it's got plot and stuff, and characters (and the hook is really really neat), but that's essentially the question this book explores. And the answer for Hope is probably not your answer. It's not mine, and that's ok. It's not about what the right answer, it's about making you _think_ about what your answer would be.
It's also really quality writing, and the larger story (re: Perfection, etc) is also neat, and interesting, if not as unique as the hook.
Pretty much regardless of what type of book you usually read, you should give this a try. It's one of the better books I've read this year.
