The Night Circus

CitrusLove · November 2013

Hello all,

I just wanted to recommend a book called The Night Circus. You may have heard of it, but in case not, do check it out! A friend of mine suggested it and I couldn't put it down! Got my Mother into it as well and apparently they are working on a film version of it. It was very visual and a beautiful read. Maybe even make yourself a cup of hot chocolate to have handy...It's a read that plays with the senses for sure. You'll be glad you made some! lol Enjoy.

I loved this book! I'm not usually a fan of overly-descriptive books but Morgenstern is such an amazing writer that I felt like I could have been in any of the magical tents she described.

I know that not everybody here was as crazy about this book but I would definitely list it as one of my faves and can't wait for more from her.

I have to agree! I wouldn't say it's one of the best ever written but I certainly thought it was just really charming and a good little adventure. I'm looking at reading a book called "The Book Thief" next. Seems like it could be good...

I super hated The Night Circus...like, with a passion. But, it WAS beautifully written. The Book Thief though, is INCREDIBLE. One of my favorite books ever. It will change you. I hope you like it!

What very different books you mention. I enjoyed them both though

A friend of mine gave me this. For some reason, I keep mixing it up with Water for Elephants, which is also on my bookshelf. (Hello circuses.) I'll get to them both sooner or later.

To Aggiebug, I like to mix it up. Any favorite book suggestions?

To Passanie, I felt that Water for Elephants was a wonderful book. I feel it has a better storyline than the Night Circus. The Night Circus is a treat as well though.
