A review by fevvies
Nights at the Circus by Angela Carter

3.0

At first I wasn't sure what to make of this novel. But when I stopped trying to analyse it and just enjoyed the whimsy of it all, I came round to it. It is a nice fairy tale in a sense, and the only thing that bugged me about it was some of the descriptions. Angela Carter described every emotion, and every philosophical musing with the most beautiful language, but left other things which really ought to be described in more depth, without description at all. Other than that, it is quite an enjoyable book.
