Publisher's description. Fast, thrilling and compulsively addictive, The Circle is Dave Eggers' bestselling novel about our obsession with the internet and where it may lead. When Mae Holland lands her dream job at the world's most powerful internet company, she has no idea what awaits behind the doors of The Circle...

A stunning work of terrifying plausability ... a worthy and entertaining read

Eggers has set his style and pace to technothriller: the writing is brisk, spare and efficient ... it works

Prescient, important and enjoyable ... a deft modern synthesis of Swiftian wit with Orwellian prognostication'

The Circle is 'Brave New World' for our brave new world ... fast, witty and troubling

An elegantly told, compulsively readable parable for the 21st Century

A gripping and highly unsettling read

Unputdownable

Eggers's writing is so fluent, his ventriloquism of tech-world dialect so light, his denouement so enjoyably inevitable

Tremendous novel ... inventive, big hearted and very funny. Prepare to be addicted

Compelling and deeply contemporary

Eggers brilliantly depicts the Internet binges, torrents of information and endless loops of feedback that increasingly characterize modern life

There’s so much here: a bit of a spy novel, a lot of a classic thriller, a fat dollop of comic mayhem, plenty of literary depth, a chunk of eco-commentary and a bloody good read to boot. You can’t ask for much more in a book.

Full of fine descriptive passages and memorable figures

Expertly crafted … Harkaway’s most touching and emotionally engaging book yet.

As entertaining and imaginative as you’d hope … Harkaway’s words jump off the page … clever and confidently written … The end of the story seems to come too soon and that’s usually the mark of a great novel. Nick Harkaway takes the reader on a wild adventure and, though you know it’s all fiction, there’s a little part of you that wishes that Tigerman was actually real.

Captivating

Stealthy … Sneaky … Gripping … It is, in short, awesome. Read it immediately.

Tigerman manages ... that elusive combination of intelligent, beautiful writing with a story that is imaginative, fast-paced and really good fun. There's plenty to make you think as well as plenty to make you laugh … Harkaway writes with such dexterity and delight … That balance of proper storytelling with literary complexity is, for me, what makes a book really special and Tigerman does this with aplomb - it's a joy to read.

Tigerman is a brilliant and unique novel which deserves to be read again and again ... dazzling display of creativity.

I was dazzled … Characterisation is as ever top notch … this is a marvel … everyone will appreciate the sheer grace and artistry of it.

Tigerman is a truly engaging and original book; for all the nail-biting tension, humour, superheroic deeds and a brilliant twist there is also a deep and honest heart to it ... This is easily one of the best books I've read this year.

With intelligent, witty writing you cannot help but warm to the unlikely and slightly hapless hero in Lester Ferris.

A virtuoso piece of entertainment which hurtles satisfyingly towards its conclusion after delivering a startling, didn’t-see-that-coming sucker-punch of a twist.

Funny, moving and thought-provoking

The key to Harkaway’s writing is the incredibly textured depth and imaginative characterisation. It is one of those books whose character are so rich that by the climax, you feel like they’ve penetrated your reality and you want to keep them close, even after the book is over.

Original and exciting, full of humanity and comedy, Tigerman by Nick Harkaway is a beautiful piece of work
