True - I liked that it had some points to think about and a few insights, but it is fairly heavy-handed. Just finished Cumulus as a similar recommendation to the Circle and hated it.

Characters frequently recapped previous chapters, every implication and inference was enumerated explicitly in great detail, etc. essentially no thinking required.
