I enter The Night Circus, and I linger in The Night Circus, and I jump the fence when the circus is closed and I hide in tents, and each time the circus moves to its next location, I want to move with it, become part of it, call a tent mine, and see what happens next.

Morgenstern's debut is lifted by its poetic writing, winking literary allusions and thematic cohesion.

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern is one of those rare books that is almost impossible to describe. Because in the describing you just give away the plot and when that is brought down to mere inadequate words the magic seeps out of it.

The Night Circus feels like the kind of novel I've been waiting a very long time for.

This book is not one full of action and adventure. And I could not read it all in one sitting. The description is too rich, the magic is too amazing to be able to truly absorb it expect for in small doses
I think I'm in love with this book, because I absolutely adore everything about it.
Morgenstern's novel feels crafted from the fabric of a dream, and the circus itself never fails to astound. For me, the only real disappointment was that I couldn't buy a ticket.
