My opinion

I wanted to include my personal opinion on the book to the blog because i feel that it is important to give my recommendation. I would like to start by saying that i did not have high hopes for this book when i first saw it; especially after finding out that it was about a girl in her twenties looking for a new job. This did not seem very exciting to me. But once i started reading The Circle, it was like a snowball effect with more and more adding to the effect of the book. It was curveball after curveball for me, even in the first scene when Mae was tricked into thinking she would be working in the same kind of place she left, a grey cubicle. This idea of changing aspects of the book was sprinkled in throughout in the most interesting and entertaining way. Noticing the totalitarian system The Circle was using to run their business enhanced my reading of the book immensely. Whether it be related to Mae and Annie's competitive edge getting the best of their friendship or Kalden and Mae with their rendezvous midway through, The Circle was an absolute totalitarian nightmare. Dave Eggers did an excellent job connecting this book to both the past and the current day. There are similarities to both Dantes Inferno and todays world with Google, i was pleasantly surprised with this book.
