everything that happened seem very plausible.

It was fine. The book is based on a series of increasingly unbelievable premises about how people would act and react to interconnectivity that I just couldn’t get past. People would not overwhelmingly line up to be part of The Circle. Also, the protagonist isn’t terribly compelling.

Honestly the concept of this book is drew me in but the main character is why I kept reading. The whole time I wanted the main character to prove herself a rebel but instead she was a pawn and frustratingly so. The ending is infuriating not to mention the seemingly random partners she has. There is little conversation between them before she ends up in promiscuous situations with them. Another male author seemingly unaware of how romance or even foreplay works. It's dangerous to think that human interaction works like this. I will say that I definitely will be thinking about this book a lot and what the overall message was very relatable to social media and technology now. Overall, wouldn't recommend the frustration and weird random relationships.

As a Silicon Valley employee at one of the major tech companies that this novel was clearly based on, this fantastical premise hits pretty close to home... but in a fun way. Technology ethics in our society are even more relevant today than when this book was published. The story gets a bit bogged down in the procedural details at times, but quickly redirects to fast paced scenes that unravel quickly.

Horrible writing, don’t waste your time.

Concept: interesting. The rest of it? Couldn't even finish it. Wouldn't mind a refund. The characters are sophomoric, uninteresting. The movie didn't last long in my neck of the woods and I'm not surprised. Don't waste your money on this one. A real snore.

This all seemed as if it could actually happen in the future. I now worry for my nonexistent grandkids.

It's a frustrating read because the core storyline has such potential. Delving into how technology has evolved and posing the question of "is technology going too far" is a promising theme, however this book hardly scratches the surface. Instead, the storyline focuses on 1 dimensional characters and their experiences. It's a huge let down.

Great concept. The sexual scenes are unnecessary and no intelligent person could be as shallow or ignorant as Mae was. I hope the movie brings the book to completion because it just ended with no solution. I mean seriously, I searched for more pages or a sequel with no avail.

I found the concept thought provoking. It was adequately rendered.
