I prefer this description because of how it concentrates on the interesting character of Asa. That makes for a good focal point.

To me, the description in A, built more suspense and made me thirst to read more.

I felt it described the protagonist much clearer and then the plot starts to fall together.

The passage in Option A provides a richer and more in depth overview of the character arc of Asa Douglas. The backstory of how he came to be and establishing aspects of this fictional world (Communist America) intrigues me and makes me want to learn more about this world. Option B rushes too much and doesn't give the reader enough information about Asa.

I picked A as my top choice as it tells me about a famous figure in the war.

I like A because I like how it starts right out with his name and what's happening to him. It grabs my attention first.

I liked that this option jumped right into introducing the character since that hooked my attention more than the background context of B did.

I like this one more because I can tell more from the description about the historical context. To me, especially as a mixed white and black person, this would be very interesting to read. The other, B, is more enigmatic. I kind of thought it might be about some Russian person or something.

I like this option because it really framed the characters and story a little more to the point and clearly.

B reads as a dramatic movie, but a B rated one at that. The most exciting part is in the summary.A personalizes the storyline and pulls you in with an intrigue

I prefer option A because it's more vivid and expressive. Option B isn't bad but doesn't feel as imaginative and descriptive to me overall.

Option A's summary is more attention-grabbing and detailed, so I prefer it over option B.

A paints a clearer pick and also is easier to follow.

I prefer this description because the structure is a little more straight forward and easier to follow.

This makes me feel like I know the main character more intimately and I would be more likely to root for him in the novel.

I would buy option "A". The description sounds appealing and interesting.

I like the language in choice A more so than in B, "With the threat....looming, must save" Did not like the phrasing "be the man to defend" paragraph B came much closer to what I would like but there is an error (rise up and to), would be much better though once corrected. "he must rise up and defend his people's way of life".

i liked some of the wording better in A, made it sound more dramatic

I like Option A because of the extra details provided in the summary. Also, the way Option A is written makes the story sound very exciting. I would buy the book described in Option A.

has more specifics, likely have readers buy the book

I selected A because it spells out the story in the book in a logical order. Selection B spells out the action in a confused manner and gets confusing.

I like the way option A summarizes it, it makes it sound more interesting. I don't like the way option B starts out.

It gives you more information

Choice A starts off on a positive note and develops into intrigue. that makes the story flow better. B felt disjointed and negative.

This makes it clear that Asa is a Black man. He is also a Southerner. I am a Black Southerner, so I can relate. I also know who communism is viewed in this country, and it sort of lends itself to the Black Panther Party, which I am intrigued about, since I was too young to experience its heyday in America. I would be interested in reading this book and learning more about Asa.

the best content to choose this option

This one starts out with a positive character description and at least makes me feel some positivity. The other one is all negatives. I would pass.

I would rather read option A because it describes who the story is about and the basic theme fo the story within the first two sentences. It makes the book seem more interesting and caught my interest more than the other option.

I prefer A. From the first sentence I was more intrigued with this summary than the other one. It really made me want to read it.

I think it sounds more exciting.

A gives too much away and is too long.

Option B creates the setting and more of third person view to get an idea of the world/surroundings. That the story is not just centered on a single main character.

this description seemed more interesting to me

Option B has a very concise style and smooth flow that allows me to just read it without getting bogged down with excessive words. I like that I can easily read through this paragraph and understand the gist of what this is about.

The first paragraph is a better hook.

B sounds more like an exciting story and a sounds more like a text book

I would rather buy this book because the description is easy to follow, contains enough details for me to make an informed decision, and the story line is quite interesting overall.

B is easier to read and read fast keeping my interest

B was better said and I liked the way it was written more. I found it easier to follow.

Sounds more exciting and has a better introduction it took me like 5 tries to read the other one but B drew me in from the get go

B starts off with a great hook that leaves me invested, whereas A makes me stop caring almost immediately after reading the character's name (I don't know him, why would I be concerned?).

I find this description more compelling, informative and comprehensive.

B is better than A. It is more succinct. However, many of the sentences read like cliches - bad spot, ride to the top, bad actors pull strings behind the scenes, scrambling, an attempt on his life sparks a potential civil war. I think the ideas are good but need to be rewritten in a fresher way. An attempted murder 'sparking' a potential civil war is confusing and doesn't read well to me. B doesn't give too much of the backstory, as A does, and this is good. Both of these read like rough drafts that need to be polished. Both have errors. B is missing a period at the end of the first sentence. A would read better if the first sentence read 'budding superstar...' instead of 'a budding superstar...'. I think each has good thoughts and sentences and then other thoughts and sentences that need more work. A is too long, too wordy, and a bit unclear. A lot of sentences and also a lot of cliches. If it was more succinct and the sentences were rewritten with a fresh look and different words, I think it would read better. For example, the sentence "But a series of farm murders ignites an unexpected blaze within his community" is confusing - is the blaze a metaphor for something? because otherwise the community is on fire but how? It's like mixing similes - murders and blazes, and it doesn't work. At this point, B is better than A.

Option B is more concise with straight forward language and is quite compelling, While Option A is less concise and uses several odd wording combinations.

Description a little bit shorter but more to the point while still explaining enough to the person who might be interested

I chose the story of option B. l like the idea of the "Civil War' brought into the story line and the Communist Party involvement. I think this would be a great read.

I thought option B, was more short and concise. The wording also had more impact like it emphasize on secrets and dangers.

I chose B because it delivered the exciting portion of the story earlier than in A, the threat of civil war.

I like that it tells you what's going on without being overly descriptive. The other option seems to give up too much information.

Choice B jumps right into the struggles taking place before giving his credentials and background. More interting.
