The Circle by Dave Eggers

This was for the most part an enjoyable read. However, I have two issues with it that stopped me from giving it 4 stars.

1. It didn't go the way I hoped. This may be a silly reason but quite honestly it felt the entire time that it was going to go one direction and then it didn't really seem to go any where. Don't get me wrong. I didn't have a particular direction I thought it would go. I was just expecting more.

2. There was no real climax for me. This, I guess ties in with number one. But the book just builds and builds then when you are thinking "here it comes." It just plateaus and you are left disappointed.

Up until the plateau it was a 4 star read for me. If it had ended in the amazing way I had expected it to, it could have been a 5 star read.
