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?
T.ScottReviews No. It's one of the worst books I've ever read. It had so much promise but it didn't capitalise on any of it.

There's insta-love which I hate and while…moreNo. It's one of the worst books I've ever read. It had so much promise but it didn't capitalise on any of it.

There's insta-love which I hate and while the author us great at writing locations/settings (I really felt like I was there) but despite this that skill doesn't transfer to writing characters and I read all the way through and couldn't for the life of me care about any of the characters at all and usually I'm straight in there either loving or hating characters but the characters in The Night Circus provoked absolutely no emotional response from me at all which had never happened before I read it or since.

It had so much promise and that's why I found it such a disappointment.(less)
