A reread on my part. Still as good as I remember it. Something special to see the perspectives taken in this book, and I would recommend it to all.

I read this because I love the movie, and I am happy I did. It reminded me why the movie was so good, but gave me a new experience with the parts that didn't make it, the little details, and the extensions of things I thought I understood. I still hated the Ben Affleck character the whole time, and it made me laugh out loud when he admitted he knew he was hated. Very omniscient.

I totally recommend this to fans of the movie, but non-fans/people who haven't seen it will want to be in for a suspenseful mystery with some time jumping.
The Circle by Dave Eggers

Books rarely make me this angry and are this forceful with their themes.

I read this in an English class like 5 years ago, would recommend unless you want hyper-boring Black Mirror
