The Echo Chamber, by John Boyne
4.0
The Echo Chamber is the first book by author John Boyne that I have read and it was hilarious. A book that I might not have read if not sent a copy by Penguin Australia so thank you for opening my eyes.
As Blur once sang "Modern Life is Rubbish" and the Cleverley Family are going to find this out the hard way. Today we live our lives online - photos, thoughts and opinions are all out there for all to see and judge. Meet The Cleverley Family - they are wealthy, have everything that could possibly want in life and are in the limelight. Father George is a BBC chat show host, the mother is Beverley, a novelist. And then there are their 3 children - Achilles, Nelson and Elizabeth, all of whom have their own issues.
This family will be their own worst enemies. They try to navigate the online world of political correctness, trying to boost their followers and fame. There is not alot of room to really get your point across in a Tweet but that does not stop them from trying.
Their downfall is inevitable and it is hilarious. Really enjoyed this fun look at the world.
