Books: A true story
Books: A true story rated it 12 years ago
This is storytelling at it's best.  Right from page one, the circus is brought to life by talking to you, the reader, as if you were actually there."What kind of circus is only open at night?" people ask. ... You are amongst them, of course.  Your curiosity got the better of you....-Erin Morgenstern...

I can't really explain why I liked this book as much as I did. Aside from its wildly imaginative plot and execution, the characters I loved weren't given even close to enough "screen" time and there were things that just did not make sense for me and never will--like the entire character of Marco, f...

This book is fools gold. It's pretty and it glimmers but there's absolutely nothing of worth inside. Because Lucy already did the "let's take the blurb and point out each and every lie in it" review, I'm just going to say this—maybe more later maybe not, but for now this:I did like many of the story...

I first saw The Night Circus on a new releases / bestseller table at Chapters, just over a year ago. It was the cover that immediately drew me to the book -- the image from Goodreads really doesn't quite do it justice. Plus, the end papers are black and white striped, and there's really cool, almo...

I listened to Jim Dale read this in audio book form and I totally loved it. I'm surprised by all the bad reviews my friends gave this book. Maybe it's better to listen to it than to read it? This kind of magical fantasy is my most favorite and I LOVED it.

Por fin!!!Wow qué bonita sinopsis, magos, amor, una feroz competición. Pero a mi parecer el libro no es lo que nos señala la sinopsis.No quiero decir que The Night Circus sea un mal libro, al contrario, es un libro muy interesante. Pero después de leer algunos libros de Harry Potter y éste, he llega...

if I wasn't such a stubborn ass I would have given up, but I'm glad I stuck it out. It grew on me.Originally posted at Nose in a BookI wanted to love this book. This is my type of book! Romance? Check! Mystery? Check! Circus? Check! Sadly, I did not love it. I got to it after the hype. Almost everyo...

The credit goes to my friend Teng for finally prodding me into reading this and I am glad she did because it was a glorious experience. Not as glorious as I expected it to be but glorious nonetheless. Thank you, Teng!I’ve heard so much about this novel. I won an ARC last Armchair BEA and before it c...

3.5 starsFull review can be found on Paper Riot!If there's one word to describe the Night Circus, it would be magical. I'm sorry for the cliche, but there's just no other way to put it. I think it's safe to say that I've never read anything like it. But it wasn't love at first sight, because there w...

I honestly have no idea how to start this review... I'm still a bit in awe of The Night Circus. Morgenstern's debut is one that I picked up based solely on recommendations and reviews, as I'd never heard of it before blog posts and blurbs started popping up. I'm really not sure I even read the descr...
