Editor's Review ★★★☆★

AudioBook Atlas

Dion Graham's narration is nothing short of masterful. His portrayal of Mae Holland captures her naivety and eventual disillusionment perfectly. The Circle isn't just a cautionary tale; it’s an intensely readable exploration of tech's role in society, complete with its share of cliché plot twists that still manage to surprise. However, the pacing can feel a bit rushed at times, which may not be ideal for audiobook listeners who need a little more breathing room between intense scenes. Still, Eggers’ words and Graham’s performance make this audiobook an unmissable listen.
