 Halestormer78 | May 15, 2022 |  A richly descriptive magical novel that almost assaults your senses. The book's strongest asset is its atmosphere, which the plot and characters only support. It's a vacation spot I'd remember fondly but probably would not return to. (  ) kahell | May 4, 2022 | Pretty, but not terribly satisfying. ( ) Malaraa | Apr 26, 2022 | Read it, really can't remember if I loved it or not. How annoying. I know I felt strongly about it, once upon a time. ( ) jennybeast | Apr 14, 2022 | DNF Not a fan of the writing style, confusing and was just somewhat dull., Really disappointed because the concept seemed cool and I really really wanted to read this and finish it. Unfortunately, I just wasn't a fan. Maybe I'll pick it up again. Maybe Maybe (Probably not) (  ) crazynerd | Mar 30, 2022 |
 Morgenstern’s wonderful novel is made all the more enchanting by top-notch narration from the incomparable Jim Dale.  I am a reader who should have hated this novel; yet I found it enchanting, and affecting, too, in spite of its sentimental ending. Morgenstern's patient, lucid construction of her circus – of its creators and performers and followers – makes for a world of illusion more real than that of many a realist fiction. There is a matter-of-factness about the magicians' magic, a consistency about the parameters of the circus world, that succeeds both in itself and as a comment upon the need for and nature of illusion in general. While the novel's occasional philosophical gestures seem glib ("You are no longer quite certain which side of the fence is the dream"), the book enacts its worldview more satisfyingly than could any summary or statement. Rather than forcing its readers to be prisoners in someone else's imagination, Morgenstern's imaginary circus invites readers to join in an exploration of the possible. Underneath the icy polish of her prose, Morgenstern well understands what makes The Night Circus tick: that Marco and Celia, whether in competition or in love, are part of a wider world they must engage with but also transcend. It’s a world whose mystique and enigma is hard to shake off, and that invites multiple visits. The Night Circus is one of those books. One of those rare, wonderful, transcendent books that, upon finishing, you want to immediately start again.  The book itself looks beautiful but creaky plotting and lifeless characters leave The Night Circus less than enchanting Pertany a aquestes col·leccions editorials
Waging a fierce competition for which they have trained since childhood, circus magicians Celia and Marco unexpectedly fall in love with each other and share a fantastical romance that manifests in fateful ways. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

BOOK DISCUSSION: The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
7
I liked most of the characters well enough. I liked the idea of everything going on very much. I believe that, for me, I needed more editing.
Do I want to go to this circus? Absolutely. Would I like to live in it and travel around with these characters forever? I probably would. So I am very happy that I picked this up and read it, I just think I would have been happier if it had been a bit.....less. (
