I really loved this book, despite it taking me an inordinately long amount of time to read. There was so much detail to it though - it actually deserves a second read. I adored Celia, who is one of my favourite characters in recent books. The magic and the whole idea was fantastic - I can only admire the author's imagination. ...more

What a fabulously conceived book. The detail in the setting and story line were magnificent. Some say characters were poorly defined but i felt i knew them well enough. There is lots of imagery to do with books, writing, writing on top of writing . ink patterns etc. It seemed like the author is saying the interpretation is yours. I think she purposely does not fully illuminate the characters
Cherylcali "turn the page"
The Night Circus had a large promise of a great plot and characters. In my opinion it didn't deliver except in a few issues. If Imagery and love, is what you want in a book then this one is for you. Magic is dispersed throughout the book. Is it Harry Potter as some had said? No, it's not there needs to be more development of characters for this to happen. I gave it a three well, 2.5 since the scene is very beautiful.

I purchased this book in London while studying abroad this summer and boy did I pick a good one. I've never read a book quite like it before. Highly recommend. ...more
