I like the dichotomy of describing her experience then saying she needs to save Christmas.
A i think is better because the description goes into a bit more detail and it makes it look more interesting with how its worded so i might be tempted to give it a look
This description is more enticing and to the point, makes it more appealing to read.
A explains the situation better. B is rather vague, and the premise doesn't draw me in.
I prefer the description in Choice A. It lets the theme of the story speak more for itself with going too deep into the background and thought process of the character, which is itself something of a spoiler, I think, like how B is written.
i would like the one in option A the most because it sounds more adventurous and alluring
I chose option A because it seems like it has the best choice of verbiage. I did not like the excessive use of initials at the start though. I didn't like B as an option because the word sicko/s turned me off immediately for whatever reason I don't know really, it just did.
A just seems like it was written in a more suspenseful and interesting way even though they say the same basic thing.
I like the more suspensful tone
Option B has a typo in it, "but it turns out there's one last one sicko to catch" (the double usage of "one"). If that's in the description, that alone is enough to turn me off of a book. Aside from that, Option A is more suspenseful and interesting, anyways.
Coming out of retirement for one big case sounds like the most exciting prompt
I like option A the best because I like how the description lays out the basic plot in a way that's easy to understand who Alice Ackerson is and who she has to find to solve the case.
I prefer seeing the word retired first. It makes me read on and see more about this individual.
Option B sounds a little over the top. I chose option A but there are some acronyms not everyone will know right away and maybe just too many.
I prefer option A. It has a better flow for reading. it leads you in without being gimmicky.
I would not read either book under any circumstance and doubly so as someone who is the son and grandson of people that served in these agencies. I think that A is more clear-cut and professional sounding, while B sounds too pedestrian and familiar.
I chose A because while all her previous jobs sound a little far fetched, it sounds like an retro style description. The other one had a typo and sounded like a teenager wrote it.
Intelligent terminology and easy to read and understand.
Option A gives more information about the book itself and sounds less infomercial-y.
I CHOSE A BECAUSE I CANT WAIT TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS, IT ASKED ME A QUSTION AND I NEED TO FIND THE ANSWER
The alphabet soup of agencies is annoying and unnecessary in both. It's a bit more glaring in A, though. B does a better job of conveying the tone of the book, and also benefits from less of this needless detail.
Saving the reveal of Santa for the final word is more convincing to me.
I like this because it is shorter and reads better as a whole because it's more direct and less wordy so it makes it have a bigger impact.
I like when the book blurbs start off with character name because then I just jump right into the thick of things. A is a little too long in the wrong ways, there is more fluff.
The other one has too many acronyms. They are both pretty cheesey though.
The abbreviation dump at the beginning of option A would turn me off immediately. I do think option A may be better written, and have a better hook at the end, but it would be hard for me to get over that 'CIA/NSA/etc' string of text.
Option B sounds more clear. Option A sounds a bit cheesy with filler words like "awesome".
I like option B much better because it doesn't begin as immediately with the list of credentials of the main character and the line about the evil mastermind is amusing.
Option B leaves a little more to the imagination than option A does.
This description seems more well written and more intriguing to me. I like that there is more description about Alice's character, of being "out of the game." It makes me feel more connected to the character.
B sounds more sophisticated.
The description in A has too many abbreviations of gov't agencies. B has less which is less distracting and shortens the paragraph which makes the funny tagline stand out more.
The other one with all the acronyms right at the beginning just sounds weird
I like how they focus on the girls name right away, it makes me feel like it sets her apart from other books
I like the book description in B. It is very quirky and has a sense of humor that sets the tone for the book. I also like how it is almost written as satire of crime thrillers.
Between the two different options, I decided to choose option b and that was because the explanation sort of left me on a cliffhanger. I really did like option A and how the last phrase was directly to the reader and it was more of a question, but it was very nice to introduce the main character as well as the characters skills and then also to speak a little bit in some light slang in order to grab the attention of the reader and take a more modern approach. I found that with option A that the language was a little bit formal in my opinion and that was a little bit of a turn off to me.
I prefer the option B book description because I like how the main character name is clearly stated at the beginning and how the ellipsis is used to highlight the evil mastermind who stole the town Santa the most.
I think this one sounds a bit more intriguing, gives a more interesting idea of the character and its a bit tighter as well.
I think option B is more concise and draws you in quicker!
I think the focus on all of the organizations in the first sentence of option A is offputting. Option B is a much better choice.
This one sounds more appealing and I like the flow of the text better.
I love this one more because this one is more intense and exciting making me want to read this one more.
Both are pretty poor descriptions in my opinion, but I'd go with Option B. Option A seems a little too childish for me.
The description in choice B is just eye catching and the description of her occupation just sends out a theme of her mastery at her profession and it makes one to what to know how about what she can do with the current case she will be chasing, that is a one attractive description not like A which mainly focuses on questioning if she can deliver nit not really focusing on her skills shown before retirement.
It is an interesting description. I feel like you should make s determination between Alice being CIA/FBI/SEAL. Being all three is just a little bit unlikely, but beyond that, it's interesting.
Sounds more unique and chaotic
Option B is more likely to convince me to purchase and read this book because I think that it is a more interesting, appealing, and readable description. I think that it has a better, more logical flow.
I like that option B sets the stage that this is the last case that Alice will solve, this adds to the excitement and makes the final battle uncertain if she will come out on top.
I like B because it is briefer and more to the point. I also like the humor at the end of the description. That last line seems more intriguing and might make a person want to find out more about the book. I also like that there aren't as many acronymes at the beginning of the description.
Choice B uses reader friendly words that are not so overwhelming but sets the stage for an interesting story that might have a marvelous twist at the end. Choice A starts out so wordy with the acronyms that there are some readers that will instantly loose interest because they are trying to decipher what some of the unfamiliar ones might mean before getting to the interesting storyline.
