Is she really that daft? To see guidance as freedom? Censorship as liberation from "bad" behavior? And why would Keldon who has met her two or three times whose philosophy we only know as anti-circle-completion have so much compassion, passion, like and lust for her already, if ever?! I'm really enjoying the book. Flying through it. These character flaws are bothersome, however. If that's what to call them.

How incredibly obtuse is she to circle-size his work!

Loved when Maes inner monologue said no to Francis, he disgusted her, his neediness, his thievery. Read that there is no Francis in the movie when I looked to see who played him in the cast. It is too obvious who Kalden is to the reader, while the characters are know it alls, it is nonsensical that they wouldn't figure out who he is.

Wow. Such shaming from the Circlers about being private. And redefining being present from mindfulness to social media participation. Otherwise one is "absent." And without social media participation, one must have low self esteem. And suddenly sexual.
