bioniclib 's review for:
The Circle
by Dave Eggers
The emphasis on transparency is an interesting one. People do act differently if they think they're being watched. The story keeps presenting new ways to improve society at the cost of privacy.
The premise is a thought-provoking one and while the story is fairly well written, the characters fell a little flat for me. Usually, a good plot has trouble carrying weak characters (in my opinion) but this plot almost pulled it off. Almost. The ending was unsatisfying and while it was a good twist, I kept thinking something more monumental was going to happen.
Over all not a bad read, but I felt it didn't live up to the promise of its premise.
