A review by eschultz16
The Circle by Dave Eggers
3.0
I wanted to like this book. I loved the concept, I loved the premise, and thought it was extremely relevant to modern society and when too far was too far.
But, it didn't work. It's not a great book, and I only continued to see how far it would go until someone got the point of what's going on. I really hope that people who read this book understand why things are bad. If you don't you'll get it explained to you point blank every couple pages. And the reason won't change.
The concept is engrossing, and I kept wanting to read more. So it had that going for it. It was definitely intriguing, but also disappointing. I'm wondering if the movie will be able to pull it off better...
