Can someone please help me?

I can't judge the following sentence grammatically correct or wrong:
---What do you think about this story?
--- I haven't read such a more exciting story.
  

Top answer

The first is fine. The second is not; there are two alternatives: I haven't read a more exciting story. I haven't read such an exciting story.

Wouldn't it be still better with "never"?
"I've never read such an exciting story!"
The sentence sounds weird to me without it...

I'd say a, it's quite right as it is to me.
Yet the sentence would look easier to me with "what WOULD you do, Cheryl, ... ?"
