I absolutely hated this book. We were made to read it in my English class and our teacher is really convinced that this is where we're headed. The characters are all either annoying or naive or evil. The writing threw me off completely, sometimes it just seemed like the author wanted to sound smart so he googled for fancier words to use. There are several disgusting sex scenes and women are generally described by their looks (especially Mae's doctor, who's just a perfect example for the "boobily she boobed down the stairs" cliché) What most annoyed me was how unrealistic everything seemed. There were almost no people who pushed back against the circle, even though the tech that was put out by the Circle was clearly invasive and not even intruiging. I also wanted to punch Mae in the Face for most of the read. (did I mention the disgusting sex scenes? I did not want a description of Mae watching her parents do the dirty)
