Although this book was published more than 140 years ago it doesn't feel that way, it's still very readable. It's not a big book which makes that I read this very quickly and the way the story unfolds and is divided into chapters with letters and different viewpoints makes you want to keep on reading. A real classic in its own right. This edition also contains the short story "the Imp" which is also a nice story and a fun extra but the main course is definitely "The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde". I very much recommend it for an evening of dark and haunting fun.

Hoewel het boek een interessante en beloftevolle premisse had bleef ik toch grotendeels op mijn honger zitten en bleken de verhoopte wetenswaardigheden eerder bagatellen en historische roddels te zijn. Er kan volgens mij wel degelijk een goed boek geschreven worden over het liefdesleven van verscheidene historische figuren maar dit boek bleef te vaak steken in suggestieve veronderstellingen en zelfs ronduit speculatieve historische broodjeaapverhalen. Het hoofdstuk over Martin Luther King was één van de interessantste wat volgens mij vooral komt door de recent vrijgegeven informatie van de FBI (die hem geruime tijd volgde). Ook de introductiepagina's bij ieder hoofdstuk zijn noemenswaardig maar dan vooral voor mensen die heel weinig over deze toch wel erg bekende figuren en vaak voorkomende periodes in de geschiedenis weten. Al bij al een luchtig boekje over enkele vaak weerkerende historische figuren maar niet echt aan te raden als je wat meer diepgang wenst.

I read this book in a couple session burst but still I had a couple of issues with it. It's obviously clear that the author put in the effort to read the classic dystopian novels but instead of creating something original out of it, most of the ideas in this book felt like a dim decoction of those classic novels (A Brave New World and 1984 to mention the two best known). Besides this the dialogue in the book felt forced most of the times and for me personally it was sometimes difficult to see and feel what all the fuss was about in Mae's head. Although the idea that social media takes over our lives and we are more than happy and willing to let it do this and also the danger this entails, is something very interesting. But almost every new idea that came up in the c Circle felt artificially created and the good idea's at first quickly became stale. It seemed to me like the author took all his ideas and the dangers social media holds and put them in one pot, if he had a good take on something he hammered on this idea further until it was clearly obvious that no one would find this appealing or right. The point was often made 50 pages beforehand but then he needed to elaborate on it and make it consistently worse so everyone would get why it was dangerous in the first place. The problem with social media, false facts, camera's and the monopoly of some tech companies is much more subtle than Dave Eggers lets us believe in the Circle. It was an enjoyable read but to say it would be in my top ten lists of dystopian novels would be lying and I also would not recommend it if you really want a clear picture of whats wrong with social media and its adepts.
