Jonathan K (Max Outlier)’s Reviews > The Echo Chamber > Status Update

A good second title would be "The Unwoken" since Boyne makes a point at spearing the woke meme along with severe personality/family dysfuctions..in some ways the character are like those in "Seinfeld" who are not only clueless but lack any comprehension of humanity

Hilarious.. George makes a spectacle of himself by apologizing to the trans girl he insulted at his attorneys office on Twitter and gets barraged with tweets from woke members calling him every name in the book, the last one saying he was a Michael Bubble fan. He tells the BBC manager about the tweets and adds, I've never bought any of his albums!

Now we go to act 2 where we learn about George being outed on social media for homophobia. This is another poke Boyne makes at society since his oldest son struggles with his sexuality, his youngest prays on older men who think he's gay, and his daughter is wrapped up with using her celebrity to gain followers. I suspect he pulled this from experience especially the phone addiction of the daughter

Elizabeth Cleverly is not only addicted to her phone but constantly distraught she's not considered as an influencer. In order to correct that she takes a video of sex with new boyfriend, then let's it be known how devastated she is on social media about the leak.

While this clearly a poke at society, I wouldn't be surprised at all if people do this sort of thing to get followers! Stranger than Fiction in other word

One of the keys to great comedy is the use of irony out of context and Boyne does a great job of this to ice the cake of dysfunctions

It's not often we witness a best selling author known for drama develop characters and plot with the purpose of poking fun at society's dysfunctions. George Cleverly is a true piece of work, his wife Beverly, more so. But it's the children that take the cake in all ways imaginable

Hilarious.. During a discussion between Elizabeth and her boyfriend whose dedication to helping the less fortunate to build a social media following goes extreme when he compares what he does to Jesus. "Can you imagine if he tweeted from the cross?"
