The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night. But behind ...
This is a book you either love or you hate. Looking at the reviews you can see they are pretty evenly divided. I gave up around 40%. I read the reviews and realized that the story probably wasn't going anywhere. The writing is pretty, but I agree that the use of 3rd person present for the narration...
This unusual novel is elegantly written and appropriately mysterious. I'm not much of a fan of fantasy writing and I've always found novels about 'real' magic problematic, but Morgenstern's world is understated and believable, with well-rounded characters who happen to be able to alter reality. The ...
Title: The Night Circus Author: Erin Morgenstern Publisher: Vintage t took a long time for me to think it through whether I buy this book or not. Originally I always thought about the German version of the book when it was launched to the market. But one day I had the English version in my hands a...
This one is hard. The writing kept me going and guaranteed that [b:The Night Circus|9361589|The Night Circus|Erin Morgenstern|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1387124618s/9361589.jpg|14245059] would not get a place on my "should-get-a-prize-for-finishing" shelf, but I can't conjure any particularly str...
A while back I did a review of a book with my notes that I took while reading a book. I read Night Circus for book club, and I have decided I’ll make bullet points of all of the stickies I have in my book. (along with short explanations, of course.) Who makes a wager on someone that is supposed...
This is a lovely, whimsical book. I am also sort of at a loss as to what to write about it. Normally, there's some issue, or some literary trick, or idea, that I latch on to, and am dying to write about in a review, for better or worse. This time, not so much. From a couple of days distance, this bo...
This is probably my favorite book ever! There were a lot of not so good reviews and I didn't know if I'd love it or hate it. It's obviously not for everyone. I have never read a book that made me use my imagination as much as this one did! It's not a very long book but it seemed long to me becau...
The Night Circus is a book I really, really wanted to like. It was so pretty, but it was almost like they made this book so beautiful to cover up how empty the book really is, the story I mean. Not the entire book was bad; there were lovely parts, marvelous characters. But the main characters Celia ...
2.5I have to give a hand to the whimsy and imagery associated with putting together this highly creative and artistic circus.However, the plot and character development was so thin, I was always waiting for something...and all I'd get is more imagery of the circus...and yes the circus is truly alive...
