I listened to the audiobook for The Night Circus and I enjoyed it. I loved listening to Jim Dale give each character a voice and life. Erin Morgenstern's writing is beautiful and detailed and fun. The Night Circus bounces between the past and the present and that form of storytelling had me excited for every new chapter. However, no matter how much I loved listening to it when I was done I was a little disappointed. The writing is beautiful for the first three quarters of the novel but becomes less so in the last quarter of the book. It felt rushed, as though the author saw the finish line and was beginning to hurry to get to the end. I didn't have a problem with how Ms. Morgenstern ended her novel, I just didn't like how rushed it felt when we got there.

This book sent me for a REAL loop. For the first 60% I was contemplating if it was for me or not. However the back half of the book, when the storylines began closing in on one another, I began to understand why the pace at the beginning was as slow as it was. I appreciate how long you follow the characters for in their lives. While flowery descriptions of scenery and setting can be hard to grasp, and some of it was too much, the author tells you exactly how they want you to see the world they’ve created.
This book gives:
Tim Burton but make it a circus and a lose Romeo and Juliet retelling
I love the Shakespeare references
The way the storylines come together make the rest of the book worth it, however if I had read this physically, I think would have DNFed, which would have been a big shame.
