Reviews for The Night Circus
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
I really enjoyed this book, something totally different, and for a debut novel excellent. I would be interested to see what Erin Morgenstern comes up with next!
Celia and Marco are selected to compete in a magical battle. Thier whole lives are geared towards it, though they do not know the rules or when or where it will take place! And they do not even know who they are to battle at first.
However an amazing circus is opened to the world, a circus that is open only from Dawn until dusk! and both Celia and Marco live and work within it. I won't tell you anymore but surfice it to say you will be hooked, enthralled and delighted with each new twist of the story. It has a magical feel to it, and includes some wonderful and unusual characters. You will be in for a treat if you decide to read this unusual book! by Penny CunninghamEnchanting, spell weaving, totally magical
I thought i would take a chance with this book as i have been a little over some of the themes i have been reading. With this in mind i couldn't have picked a more magical book, I was enchanted first by the beautiful presentation of this book from dustcover to the delightful hardcover and dipped pages. From the first paragraph i was hookied the description is amazing and your there inside the circus and i really never wanted to leave...ever! the only thing i found a little befuddling was the way the time line jumped a bit, but in saying that there are time and location promps at the top of each chapter. I found this book to be on the very top of my "to read again and again" list.The chaarater as so enchanting and the circus itself is a world of its own. Truely amazing read, a must for any one searching for a magical escape. by Samantha
