Ja rijetko čitam prijevode, gotovo da je to 'rijetko' postalo gotovo pa nikad. Kada god sam u prilici kupiti i čitati original, a to su većinom knjige na engleskom, učinim to. Činjenično je da će vas original na engleskom koštati nekoliko desetica manja, a isplati se, jer su neki prijevodi očajni i jednostavno izmasakriraju knjigu. Neki.
Ne i ova, doduše. Puna cijena je 150 kuna, što je puno i za knjigu i tvrdom uvezu. Ova ima papirnatu košuljicu koju sam ja ostavljala doma da se ne ošteti dok sam knjigu nosila po busevima i u školu. I dobila sam čak Globusov graničnik knjige. I to sve besplatno, jer ju dobih kao dar jer sam sudjelovala u jednom tečaju jezika povodom nautičkog sajma u Rijeci. Knjiga je bila u antikvarijatu, i to dvije tako da su obje u izvrsnom stanju bile, a ja sam ih odabrala jer sam čula negdje za knjigu i jednostavno me zanimala.

Planirala sam ju pročitati prije nego što je krenula 4. sezona AHS-a, jer sam mali tv junkie i mislila sam da će mi knjiga dočarati 'cirkusni' ugođaj, ali da jesam, mislim da ne bih gledala seriju. Jer me serija ne oduševljava previše, dok me ovo oborilo s nogu. (I jesam li jedina koja misli da bi ovo bio savršen film??? ONO NAJSTVARNIJE. BIO BI.)

Nekako sam sva treperila kada su bili u pitanju Celia i Marco. Na početku sam mislila da je Isobel Celia, ali bila je prestara, gotovo istog godišta kao i Marco, dok je Celia 3 godine mlađa. Iluzije prostora koje stvara Marco su tako divne da ja želim biti u njima.
Ima toliko divnih likova u knjizi i svi jednostavno pristaju tom settingu i divno je za čitati o njima i njihovim životima. I premda se čini kao velika, debela knjiga, nije. Jer ja želim još čitati nakon završetka. Mogu sama iz onih malih dijelova ulaženja u cirkus zamisliti toliko toga, bilo bi divno čitati spin-off o Baileyu i Poppet, Isobel, Suki... svima njima. Ahhhhh. Ne mogu opisati koliko sam očarana s knjigom! Čak sam, tijekom čitanja mami rekla da ju mora čitati poslije mene. I pisala sam zabilješke na marginama, što nikada do sada nisam!

Trebala mi je ovakva knjiga. Jedna od dražih je postala.

wow
I dont have clever enough words to describe the experience of reading this book. The sense of wonder and loss is just fantastic.

This circus picked me up and took me with it. Much of this story reminded me strongly of my own dreams, which is frightening and beautiful at the same time. In addition to the enchantingly described places and the great love story, the suspense factor was huge for me. I could hardly wait to see how the different time positions would come together. It was like a burning circle that slowly closes, truly amazing. The jumps in time and scenes contributed to a very unique narrative. I am in love. First 5 star book for this year!

I want to forget that I read this book, just so I can experience it for the first time again.
