I couldn't put this book down! I was totally hooked-- I even downloaded the ebook onto my phone so I could read on the go! I would rate this book 4 stars for style, 5 stars for content. Although the author clearly had an intention in his use of language, I felt that it was a bit forced at times. I was also a bit confused by what I can only call bizarre mild eroticism. I have a feeling Eggers intended it to be symbolic, but it seemed a bit out of place to me. Nonetheless, these two issues were absolutely overshadowed by the brilliance of the concept! I haven't read a book like The Circle. The detail and points of view in this future world are meticulously developed. There was a morbid fascination in watching The Circle push its principles to new kind of extremes. It was shockingly plausible. Is this a warning for our not-so-distant future? Overall this book was an addictive read, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to be entertained and at the same time raise some thoughts about privacy, technology, and independence. 
 Now I really need a friend to read this book so I talk with someone about it! I'm bursting to discuss the ending in particular... :) And I look forward to seeing the movie with Emma Watson this spring!
