Some thoughts on the book, rather superficial, to keep it spoiler free. My Goodreads: / 6315232 My Twitter: / anywiebs My Instagram: / anywiebs My Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/...
So good to see you back with another Great In Depth Review. You have a Style of your own that is very Honest, Thoughtful, and Sincere.😊 As for this book, I'm not sure if I would be so interested in the subject matter, but your opinion of Eggers Prose alone might make it worth while.🤔 Thanks Wiebke, and take care.👍
I think if you don't like his writing or way of telling stories you won't like it, if you like social criticism and some science fiction in your literary fiction this might just get to you, like it did to me.
I've always wanted to read The Circle but there's no denying it is intimidating for me and my usual reading tastes! It does sound absolutely fascinating though
What really struck me about this book was its echoes of 1984. I know that's a common trope. But this book feels so plausible and realistic as to how Big Brother could happen if he emerged today. POSSIBLE SPOILER for 1984 and The EVERY>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> To me, The Every really shows the tipping point that 1984 had already hit before its beginning. That point where privacy gets so far eroded, and groupthink so ingrained that there is officially no longer a possibility of a reversal.
Yes, although with 1984 I never got the feeling it was so voluntarily by the people. But then again I never finished the book in school after we watched the movie (still traumatized by the visuals )🙈
You sound better. Social commentary science fiction, sounds interesting. Might have to The Circle first. It's hot here in the Tampa area I mean the kind of hot that knocks you out in the middle of the afternoon, next place I live will have air conditioning. Take care drink good coffee read great books.
We're having a hot day today as well, I may have drank more than all week already, LOL. But it'll b thunderstorms tomorrwo, so yay? Let me know what you think of the book, when you get around to it. And now find a cold drink ;)
