Reviews

Another Great Heather's Pick

"Wow! Don't worry too much about the plot. Just let yourself get carried away by her beautiful writing. Reading this was like a dream. I absolutely loved it."

— KIKI7Feltham (5/5)

Pass

"Finished this only because I committed to finally finishing this after picking it up and putting it down multiple times over the past few years. There's a cast of characters and multiple settings that take place over a back and forth timeline, seemingly for no reason other than to flip flop. Makes it harder to be immersed in this story. I'd say don't bother with this one."

— ACBC R. (2/5)

Is It Worth Reading? - The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

"For me, this was a such as magical novel wrirtten by a real magician. Reading ""The Night Circus"" by Erin Morgensten felt like being in a lucid dream. It is so whimsical, soft, gentle, and intriguing. The characters were unique, detailed, and so important to the story. Most of them were ambiguous, that helped made it feel 'authentic'. The people in the novel weren't purely good nor bad, it's just people made bad decision, and the actions of the characters were so believable in this dazzling world. From the first chapter, I knew I was reading a story filled with illusions, magic, and performances. Though this book isn't for everyone, as it is not fast paced, and there isn't any freaky romance action, however it is one of the most intricate books I ever read, and I highly recommend giving it a try."

— Melinda (5/5)

Whimsical Tale

"Always love Erin Morgenstern story telling and this will be my favorite book of all time."

— Jess (5/5)

Good world building, boring ending

"I bought this book because the description spoke to me but I feel like the book didn't really match the description. Some parts of the book were beautiful like the world building but the rest of the story and the ending just fell flat for me."

— Souz (3/5)

Read this a couple

"Read this a couple of years ago and her second book. I still keep looking for her next one! You enter a circus full of intrigue and magic where the most interesting romance happens between two who change everything to be part of each other’s story. I don’t believe in telling too much. I gave my copy to my friend because I wanted to share. Now we are both hooked! Enjoy!"

— Tan01 (5/5)

Beautiful book

"Have yet to read this as my physical TBR is ten stories long, but the book itself is beautiful! And I would be lying if I said I wasn’t a sucker for beautiful book covers."

— Cassey (4/5)

Good read

"It was a little confusing as it just from different points of view but not directly the persons view. It was still a interesting read besides!"

— Alexis (3/5)

"Magical. Enchanting. Spellbinding. Mesmerizing." --Associated Press

"Erin Morgenstern has created the circus I have always longed for and she has populated it with dueling love-struck magicians, precocious kittens, hyper-elegant displays of beauty and complicated clocks. This is a marvelous book." --Audrey Niffenegger, author of The Time Traveler's Wife

"Get ready to be won over. . . . Part love story, part fable, and a knockout debut. . . . So sparklingly alive, you'll swear the pages are breathing in your hands. . . . The Night Circus defies both genres and expectations." --The Boston Globe

"A riveting debut. The Night Circus pulls you into a world as dark as it is dazzling, fully-realized but still something out of a dream. You will not want to leave it." --Téa Obreht, author of The Tiger's Wife

"The Night Circus is the real deal, the kind of novel that will appeal to romantics, history buff, circus aficionados, mystery fans, and lovers of a good story. . . . Steeped in circus lore, filled with evocative scenes of magic and illusion, enriched by characters as varied as the clockmaker who crafted the circus's iconic timepiece . . . The Night Circus is worth staying up for." --Bookreporter

"One of the best books I have ever read." --Brunonia Barry, author of The Lace Reader

"Dark and extravagantly imagined." --People

"Pure pleasure. . . . Erin Morgenstern is a gifted, classic storyteller, a tale-teller, a spinner of the charmed and mesmerizing--I had many other things I was supposed to be doing, but the book kept drawing me back in and I tore through it. You can be certain this riveting debut will create a group of rêveurs all its own." --Aimee Bender, author of The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake

"[Morgenstern] employs her supple prose to conjure up a series of wonders: A maze made of clouds, a ship of books floating on a sea of ink, a tent that seems to contain a vast desert." --Salon

"Reading this novel is like having a marvelous dream, in which you are asleep enough to believe everything that is happening, but awake enough to relish the experience and understand that it is magical." --Newsday
