Horror's Greatest Hits
A Goodreads user asked this question about The Night Circus:
I read a lot of YA books, would anyone recommend this book?
Kaaren Nafar No, I don't. The idea is admirable, the prose is almost great, but the story is...meh.

It gets boring at so many points, and I only finished it because…moreNo, I don't. The idea is admirable, the prose is almost great, but the story is...meh.

It gets boring at so many points, and I only finished it because of the almost great prose, not because I found anything particularly interesting in it.

There are so many unnecessary elements and pointless chapters, I almost lost count. I do not whatsoever recommend this book to anybody.

Note: If you like poetic and fancy descriptions, give it a try. But read only 50 pages of it. Because the novelty wears off and you'll start banging your head against the book or vice versa, begging for it to be over.

Oh, and there is so much creativity in this book that it makes you wanna vomit. (less)
