The Measure

Book Review 

4.5/5*

 By Nikki Erlick



Everyone 22 years old and older gets a box. Inside is a string that will tell you how long you will live. At first it was a vague time line. After some research the scientists were able to narrow the range down to a specific month that you could expect to live to. Not everyone wanted to know. The world took a twist. Two types of people; long stringers and short were created. There was no love lost between these groups. A great story for a book club discussion.
  • Do you want to know how much longer you have to live?
  • How will you handle the answer?
  • Will you change the way you live, your habits, your job?
  • How will this effect the economy?
  • Will it effect health care and insurance?
  • What changes will be seen on travel and extreme sports?
