 Natt90 | Mar 30, 2023 |  I’m in love. This is probably my favorite book I’ve read so far this year. I couldn’t put it down after I got into it. The writing was beautiful and eerie at the same time. I loved the characters. I felt like they were developed really well. The story had dimension. I got confused at times with the going back and forth, but it was never enough to throw me off completely. I was halfway through this book when I knew it would be a new favorite. I’ve all ready bought The Starless Sea, and I can’t wait to dive into that book too. (  ) TimeLord10SPW | Mar 8, 2023 | I enjoyed this book for a number of reasons of which the primary was the visual storytelling used. Erin is a good word smith and created a unique approach to fantasy/love story here. As a film maker and producer I could easily visualize the circus environment though some of the characters didn't fit as well as others. Regardless it's a good read and entertaining. (  ) Jonathan5 | Feb 20, 2023 | What a fantastic story! A wonderful romp through the late 19th and very early 20th century through the eyes of a magical travelling circus and the two young people bound to it in a way they don't truly understand by two men who refuse to reveal the real reasons behind said binding. A wonderful cast of characters, beautiful writing, and honestly an epilogue I wasn't expecting (it was very sweet, though, regardless). Highly highly recommend this! ( ) viiemzee | Feb 20, 2023 | I found this one at my little free library, and since it had so much buzz I brought it home. I was interested to see that the reviews were almost equally divided between "loved it" and "couldn't finish it." This usually means it's an interesting book, and it was. Apparently I was primed for a read that's atmospheric and magical without too much of a story (which is where the split decisions come in). I read it rather slowly and enjoyed it a lot.

 Morgenstern’s wonderful novel is made all the more enchanting by top-notch narration from the incomparable Jim Dale.  I am a reader who should have hated this novel; yet I found it enchanting, and affecting, too, in spite of its sentimental ending. Morgenstern's patient, lucid construction of her circus – of its creators and performers and followers – makes for a world of illusion more real than that of many a realist fiction. There is a matter-of-factness about the magicians' magic, a consistency about the parameters of the circus world, that succeeds both in itself and as a comment upon the need for and nature of illusion in general. While the novel's occasional philosophical gestures seem glib ("You are no longer quite certain which side of the fence is the dream"), the book enacts its worldview more satisfyingly than could any summary or statement. Rather than forcing its readers to be prisoners in someone else's imagination, Morgenstern's imaginary circus invites readers to join in an exploration of the possible. Underneath the icy polish of her prose, Morgenstern well understands what makes The Night Circus tick: that Marco and Celia, whether in competition or in love, are part of a wider world they must engage with but also transcend. It’s a world whose mystique and enigma is hard to shake off, and that invites multiple visits. The Night Circus is one of those books. One of those rare, wonderful, transcendent books that, upon finishing, you want to immediately start again.  The book itself looks beautiful but creaky plotting and lifeless characters leave The Night Circus less than enchanting Appartient à la série éditoriale
Il est arrivé comme par enchantement, dressant sous le ciel étoilé ses chapiteaux noir et blanc : Le Cirque des rêves. Approchez, Mesdames et Messieurs, petits et grands, entrez ! Ici se déroule plus que tours et acrobaties. Sous vos yeux ébahis, la véritable magie est à l'œuvre : deux jeunes illusionnistes, Celia et Marco, s'affrontent dans un combat magique pour lequel ils sont entraînés depuis l'enfance. Voués à se mesurer dans le plus prodigieux des défis, ils sont adversaires. Mais entre eux, une magie plus grande opère, celle de l'amour. Une passion ensorcelante qui pourrait leur être fatale... " Aucun sortilège n'est, a priori, impliqué pour expliquer la difficulté que l'on a à lâcher le livre une fois celui-ci entamé : il y a juste le talent de son auteure, dont l'écriture distanciée se révèle envoûtante.

BOOK DISCUSSION: The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
7
No viene precedido de ningún anuncio, no se cuelga cartel alguno en los postes o vallas publicitarias del centro ni tampoco aparecen notas ni menciones en los periódicos locales. Sencillamente, está ahí, en un sitio en el que ayer no había nada. Abre sólo de noche y no es un circo cualquiera…
Le Cirque des Rêves, pues ése es su nombre, es en realidad el escenario de una feroz competición: un terrible duelo entre dos jóvenes magos, Celia y Marco, entrenados desde pequeños para este propósito; un desafío que sus entrenadores llevan preparando desde hace años. Lo que no saben, y pronto descubrirán, es que éste es un juego mortal en el que sólo puede haber un vencedor. Un precio muy alto para dos jóvenes que acaban de descubrir el amor, un amor mágico y profundo que ilumina todo lo que tocan.
Pero la partida debe continuar, y Marco y Celia sólo podrán confiar en el destino…
