I’m in love. This is probably my favorite book I’ve read so far this year. I couldn’t put it down after I got into it. The writing was beautiful and eerie at the same time. I loved the characters. I felt like they were developed really well. The story had dimension. I got confused at times with the going back and forth, but it was never enough to throw me off completely. I was halfway through this book when I knew it would be a new favorite. I’ve all ready bought The Starless Sea, and I can’t wait to dive into that book too. ( )

I enjoyed this book for a number of reasons of which the primary was the visual storytelling used. Erin is a good word smith and created a unique approach to fantasy/love story here. As a film maker and producer I could easily visualize the circus environment though some of the characters didn't fit as well as others. Regardless it's a good read and entertaining. ( )

What a fantastic story! A wonderful romp through the late 19th and very early 20th century through the eyes of a magical travelling circus and the two young people bound to it in a way they don't truly understand by two men who refuse to reveal the real reasons behind said binding. A wonderful cast of characters, beautiful writing, and honestly an epilogue I wasn't expecting (it was very sweet, though, regardless). Highly highly recommend this! ( )

I found this one at my little free library, and since it had so much buzz I brought it home. I was interested to see that the reviews were almost equally divided between "loved it" and "couldn't finish it." This usually means it's an interesting book, and it was. Apparently I was primed for a read that's atmospheric and magical without too much of a story (which is where the split decisions come in). I read it rather slowly and enjoyed it a lot. ( )

Ho adorato l'atmosfera del circo l'ambientazione è davvero straordinaria, i profumi, i colori, le atmosfere. Tutto è magico, onirico e spesso ti domandi quale sia il confine tra la realtà e il sogno, tra la magia e l'illusione e prima che tu possa realmente comprenderlo ti ritrovi a provare nostalgia nel dover lasciare il circo e tutti i suoi personaggi. Luci e ombre si alternano tra le pagine di questo libro in cui i personaggi sono davvero ben caratterizzati soprattutto quelli secondari come Prospero l'incantatore, Mr A.H. , Chandresh Christophe Lefèvre, la contorsionista, i gemelli Poppet e Widget e infine la cartomante. Purtroppo lo sono meno, ed è stato dato loro poco spazio, personaggi principali e mi riferisco a Celia e Marco. Mi aspettavo di più dall'autrice in particolare questa sfida di cui non si conoscono bene le regole, conosciamo soltanto gli sfidanti e il campo di battaglia ossia il circo ma che non viene mai realmente combattuta e questo è un peccato. Sarebbe stato bello vedere Celia e Marco sfidarsi in un reale duello di magia oppure vederli lottare per liberarsi da un destino avverso. Personalmente avrei voluto vedere nel romanzo più episodi in cui Celia e Marco passano gradatamente dalla rivalità all'amore questo non è successo infatti mi ha deluso il fatto che sia stato dato per esempio, troppo spazio a personaggi secondari come Bailey è poco invece ai protagonisti. Devo ammettere che il libro seppur piacevole da leggere a volte è stato un po' troppo lento e la trama avrebbe potuto essere più ricca. Anche se l'idea è buona non sono state sfruttate tutte le effettive potenzialità della storia e questo è veramente un peccato però rimane sempre un libro piacevole e bello da leggere. ( )

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

A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.

Follow your dreams, Bailey, she says. Be they Harvard or something else entirely. No matter what that father of yours says, or how loudly he might say it. He forgets that he was someone's dream once himself.
Children are dragged away with promises that they may return the next evening, though the circus will not be there the next evening and later those children will feel slighted and betrayed.
You are no longer quite certain which side of the fence is the dream.
I do not like being left in the dark. I am not particularly fond of believing in impossible things.
You're not destined or chosen, I wish I could tell you that you were if that would make it easier, but it's not true. You're in the right place at the right time, and you care enough to do what needs to be done. Sometimes that's enough.
