The Circle by Dave Eggers
3.0
3.5 stars
I liked this book, I enjoyed reading it, and I don't regret putting time into it. At some times it drags, and two specific characters felt like author stand-ins that just relay the message of the book to you instead of showing it to you. A bit of it feels cartoonishly over-the-top with how it portrays the danger of a surveillance state and monopoly, but I don't think it's meant to be taken as serious as that anyway. It feels like a satire with a message, and while the story itself is good the conveyance felt lacking.
tl;dr: A decent read that didn't elicit anything too strong.
