This book has a vaguely ableist air to it that I can't quite place. I think it's the fact that there's a lot of focus on physical exercise that not everyone will be able to do.cartermon4's review against another edition

I remember really really liking The Circle when I read it 7 or 8 years ago—The Every had me wondering if my tastes have matured or if this book was just less developed. The tech tidbits felt fairly self-impressed without adding much to the narrative or world and, though Delaney was theoretically developed with a well rounded background, who she was didn’t really seem to drive what she did. Probably could’ve been at least 200 pages shorter to avoid the chunks of self indulgence and dig into the meat more.
Rated as highly as I did because it was a surprisingly quick, engaging read that kept me turning the pages, even if I ended up not caring much about the characters.
