Reviews for The Night Circus
A circus you dont want to miss
Apart from its intriguing, sinister secrets that lie beneath the night circus, the way Morgenstern describes the circus is very graphic.
Throughout the book, here and there, you would find yourself lost in the circus, desperate to savour the caramel, and see the magical bonfire stands before your eyes.
Tent filled with ice garden, layers of clouds, bottles filled with scents of beach etc.
A book you definitely don't want to miss reading.
Hope they are thinking of making a movie based on it. If there is, I would be the first one to get the ticket. by Akhmal Aimanunder reviewHave you ever wanted to run away and join the circus?
Have you ever wanted to run away and join the circus?
You will after reading The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern.
You don't read this book so much as discover it.
It's like chancing upon an old wooden trunk in the corner of a dusty attic and opening it up to reveal wondrous treasures inside.
Set in the late 1800s, The Night Circus tells the story of Celia Bowen, daughter of Prospero the Enchanter, and Marcus Alasdair, protégé of sorts to the mysterious man in the grey suit.
A battle of skills awaits them. But what is the Challenge? When will it take place? And how does the mysterious Le Cirque des Reves - The Circus of Dreams - fit in?
The Night Circus is an enchanting book. I was captivated and intrigued from its opening pages.
Morgenstern creates vivid scenes of circus life filled with acts to delight and amaze. I could almost smell the scents of caramel and bonfire wafting from its pages.
The Night Circus is Water for Elephants meets Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory meets Cirque du Soleil meets Carlos Ruiz Zafon's Shadow of the Wind.
It's one of the most magical books I've read all year.
