book sixty-three: The Circle

Sunday 17 April 2016

Our next book looks at a fictional California-based tech giant that knows everything about us.  Like that would ever happen.  It was written by Dave Eggers, who founded the quirky publisher, McSweeneys.

In keeping with the theme from Maree's shortlist, it is being made into a film that is set to come out this year, starring Hermione and that guy from Forrest Gump.

We met at Maree's place.

Wendy brought the shortlist.

Scores (and would you see the movie?):

Wendy: 15 made me think; Y
Tim: 12 liked it, maybe a little long; Y
Jim: 12 liked ideas but needs a bit of sparkle; Y
Leigha: 12 intrugued so far; Y
Maree: 13 enjoying, but a little clunky in parts; Y
Monika: 15 occasionally predictable, didn't like ending; not sure whether she'd see the movie 
Cherie: 10 lacked tension but was an interesting enough read; Y

Average: 12.7
