At my age maybe I should be reading "The Peoples Friend" but I found this book enchanting and certainly for me it was worth the money I bought a paperback and kindle edition so I could read at any time.
It's definitely worth it! And the best part about the Night Circus is that it's really easy to get into! :) I'm not a particularly fast reader, I like to really enjoy books, but I couldn't help but devour this one! The plot is very captivating!Hope this helps :)
I enjoyed it and I usually dislike fantasy.
Your comments help guys, thanks. Referring to the first comment, I'm 16 and thinking of reading this book. Still think I should??
READ IT. It's amazing and magical and wonderful and fantastic.
Absolutely! I loved it. It's very enchanting, sweet and captivating :)
A lot of people rated it 2 stars...
I think it's a very well written book, although not as interesting as Mechanique: A Tale of the Circus Tresaulti or Nights at the Circus.

Okay. I trust you all, I shall read it :D
Yeah! Really liked it :)
Yes yes yes! This book was amazing, not really YA though. More adult fantasy/mystery. GREAT book... but now I want to go to the night circus and it doesn't exist...
I agree with all the people that have recommended you to read it. Go for it . Another book you may like to try or perhaps have read it is "Daughter of Smoke and Bone" completely different but a wonderful world is created by the author.
I would recommend this book. It's really original and even thought at times it was a bit slow for me, it was still a good buy.
I have been meaning to read this book for ages. Might crack it open this afternoon...

Daughter of Smoke and Bone was fantastic! Or try Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. Another great YA fantasy with added element of creepy photos...
Yes! I really loved all the decriptions and how well you could picture everything. I think I am going to force my sister to read it and I hope you do too :)
This book was written in second person which is almost never done. It reads as if it's a dream. If you like lyrical writing, if you want it to seem like poetry or a picture then you should Definately read it. I do think that the romance aspect is a little bit of a stretch, but I could feel the circus atmosphere perfectly.
Absolutely definately yes!!
What the hell is 2nd person???
I don't have the book in front of me, but I don't believe it was written in second person.
1st person is - I, me2nd person is - you, yours
3rd person is - they, theirs
hope this helps. The book is written in the third person except a small section in 2nd person
What part is written in second person? For an excellent example of a book written in first, second and third person, read Leaving Atlanta. The author tells her story with three characters, each in a different voice. The one section written in 2nd person is eerie, but effective.
There are short chapters written "anticipation" and "charming but deadly" to name two. They remind us that the narrator is telling US a story and keeping us included in all that goes on.
Yes it's a fab read
Yes, for the descriptions alone it was worth it.
It's lovely, but there isn't really a plot. If you're intrigued enough to ask, then it's a yes, you should.
Yes - I loved it. Couldn't out it down! Enchanting!

The plot sounds awesome and the title instantly drew me to it, but I'm not sure whether or not I'd be wasting my money. So please, can you give me some advice?
