I like how A is more direct and to the point. I think B is a bit wordy and the description gets lost a bit.

B is far too wordy, and the added detail is really unnecessary for a description of the story. It only adds confusion. A is much more compelling and interesting by getting the ideas across without unnecessary padding.

This description is more appealing to me because it's nice and efficient, it sketches out the basics and still paints a good picture without getting too complicated.

I chose A. It is more concise and to the point. It is long enough to describe the book well, but is not as long-winded as B.

This is an easier description to read and the story seems more compelling for a story about Africa

Option B is showing instead of telling, and I don't like that.

I would like the briefer version for a summary as it is less confusing.

I like option A the best, the description isn't too long so it doesn't give much away. I am interesting in this book, it sounds very interesting and a little bit of a mystery and thriller. I want to know what happens.

They are both rather dry but this one is the one I would pick.

Option A seems to be highly intense and action packed. As a librarian, I loved the description, and I would definitely add this to my buy list.

I like option A because it sounds more interesting and engaging to me. Option B doesn’t sound quite as enticing.

I think this one is so has more of interesting one the way it is written is more interesting

Option A is shorter and does not spoiler leak too much, want to have more suspense.

i like how it get you intised but does not give you to much.

I would read option "A". The description seems interesting and unique.

I like option A more. It seems like it would hold my attention longer than option B would.

I like A because it's short and to the point and it gets my attention first.

This book sounds vaguely racist, but if I had to choose, I would prefer Option A as it is more skillfully concise.

Option A is shorter and doesn't give away as much of the story.

Let the book be wordy, not the description. A is far more intriguing and makes me want to read more. B is longwinded and makes me think the book might be too.

This is an easy read. The blurb is informative and descriptive.

The details provided here are a bit less wordy than the alternative. Most of these descriptions are appealing to the senses and do an adequate job at attracting potential readers.

When you have two big paragraphs, go for the shorter..it's a usual safe bet to assume people have short attention spans.

Although I don't necessarily need a synopsis to be shorter to keep me reading, but the minimal information in Option A grabbed my attention and held it. There was just too much detailed in Option B, moving me away from the actual story line of the book and I couldn't concentrate. I would watch this as a movie!

i don't like very long book descriptions, sometimes less is more

I prefer Option A because it's concise and to the point. It doesn't try to dazzle the reader with too many bits of information, but just gives enough info to make me intrigued enough to read the whole book.

I really like A because of a couple things. I really like the conflict of the guy working with the man who caused him pain in the past. I also like that the story gives you key details and makes you want to learn more by reading the book itself. I feel B gives a little bit too much information like being a former french soldier. Keep it short and simple like they did in A.

I would vote for A because it makes me want to read more. I think that it leaves more for the brain to think about in order to want to read more and buy the book.

I would opt for choice A. Choice A is basically saying the same thing as B, but in more efficient wording.

I’m confused in choice B Vulcan tortured him in A he’s aligned with someone who tortured him. That being said, option B seems too confusing and all over the place option A is much easier to follow in looks like something I would read.

I think that this text has more feeling and easier to read compared to the other option. I think that this option is just nicer and easier to read.

i would rather read the book in option B based on the description, it is more enticing to read and i want to read more

This option had more detail and thus allowed me to better follow along with the motivations of the characters.

I chose option B because it provides more detail than option A. It gives you a little more detail on the plot and who the characters are.

B helps me to get to know the characters. the use of adjectives is masterfully done.

B gives a more detailed and exciting image of the book

Option B gives us a lot more information than Option A.

I think this one is better because it's more specific to the economic based plot... the other one sounds like it could be anything from a romance to adventure drama at the beginning, but this one uses more words related to finance, economy, etc-- showing the true plot. I think that makes it stand apart and more intriguing. It's an interesting topic and gives the reader idea of what they're going to be reading.

I prefer Option B. Just reading the brief paragraph of the two, option B is more entertaining with a better description of the story. It seems clearer and better written especially in describing people and the situation. Option A bored me after a couple of sentences, also had to reread it to make sense of the plot.

I picked B as my top choice as it's very simple but easy to understand the book.

After reading both, I chose B. I think this is a little more in depth and was really engaged in the story.

A seems more interesting and exciting. Definitely a book I would read.

I think that option B seems more interesting and is more well-written.

the extra details were very interesting and made me feel excited for the book

This option seems to have more of a unique story.

he more I can read about the better I like the book
