    Good book but ...
  

*by K***S on Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2018*

Good book but not as good as her Harry August book.  The main character in this book likes to soothe herself with knowledge - this is interesting at first but as the book progresses the pages and pages of her knowledge imo detract from the story.  I was faithfully reading everything so I didn’t miss anything important but realized about half way through the book that if I started skipping lines when she gets into her recounts I actually wasn’t missing anything at all.  The story itself is great and exciting.  It’s almost like the portions of her knowledge recounts are commercials and I just want to fast forward and get back to the story.  Still a good book but not as good as her Harry August book.  They are both quite lengthy so if you are considering one or the other I’d go with Harry.

    A memorable character in our world but a forgotten character in hers
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2016*

She’s endlessly and inexplicably forgotten. She’s resorted to a life of crime. She’s struggled with her own identity and what it means to exist. The story of Hope Arden is a heartbreaking and riveting one, a story that pulls you in from the very first word. The concept itself is one that leads to initial questions from us: How did this happen? How does she live with this “condition”? Will she ever escape this way of life?Hope, our narrator in “The Sudden Appearance of Hope” by Claire North, immediately pulls us in with the way she speaks. From the description alone, we can understand that something is different about this girl, about how she chooses to exist. “No matter what I do, the words I say, the crimes I commit, you will never remember who I am. That makes my life difficult. It also makes me dangerous” (North). Hope immediately takes us on a journey into her crime filled life and into her desire to destroy Perfection.Perfection is the lifestyle app that tells consumers how to dress, what procedures to get done, what foods to eat, what places to visit, what exercises to do, etc. Basically, people have become photocopies of each other in order to feel important and appear “perfect” to each other and themselves. This forced perfection, this type of brainwashing that has occurred within the general population, has become a deep hatred of Hope’s. With a death pushing her over the edge in her conquest of Perfection, Hope sets out on a mission to eliminate the program that has, in her opinion, taken away so much from humanity. Hope is surrounded by plastic people, by consumers who can never get enough from the app and the services it provides.While Perfection seems to be an unrealistic thing, the reflection on what we consider to be the “real” world makes you think as you continue to read. Who’s to say this won’t be similar to something that happens down the line? With the constant pressure from the media to look a certain way, especially for girls, who says an app like this won’t be developed with equally as disastrous consequences? Hope’s story, although strange, can easily be seen as reminiscent to what we all already experience. Like Hope chooses, if you refrain from conforming to “perfection”, you’re forgettable, you’re disposable, you’re unimportant. But is being remembered worth sacrificing your sanity and understanding of existence?Overall, “The Sudden Appearance of Hope” is a book that I highly recommend for readers. Personally, I’ve never explored this genre in depth before but this book captivated me from the very beginning. Trying to understand why Hope is the way she is and how she is able to live prevents you from putting the book down. With enough of a mixture of adventure, mystery, romance, and friendship, this novel is one that is destined to stick with you long after you finish it. North does an incredible job of creating a memorable character in our world even though she is forgotten in hers.

    Claire North has a really fun, interesting style
  

*by B***_ on Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2017*

Claire North has a really fun, interesting style, and very unique ideas behind her storylines.  I bought this book after loving "The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August," which I could NOT put down."The Sudden Appearance of Hope" is much more character-driven and impressionistic than "...Harry August."  I'd classify it as a character study that really lets you into Hope's mind and experience, which could be a let-down if you're looking for something more action-driven.  Its writing style is awesome though, and North uses neat poetic devices to communicate Hope's emotions through the structure of the writing.  I find myself caught up more in the complexity of her thought processes than the storyline itself (which is still interesting, don't get me wrong).  There's also a strong undercurrent of social commentary on what our world considers "perfect," which might seem a little heavy-handed at times... but I find I don't mind in the scope of the novel.  Overall, an engaging read in my opinion.
