A review by theemolibrocubicularist
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
5.0
In my whole life, I have only seen two circus performances, one from Circus Circus of Las Vegas and The Ringling Brothers when it came to San Diego. They were both amazing and funny but nothing compares to this.
Le Cirque des Reves is exactly the type of circus anyone of any age would love to pay to see. I'm sure it would top every circus in the US and beyond, with the wonders that it brings and things that couldn't and shouldn't be possible outside of a dream. I love the book even more with the competition between the two illusionists, who are more than illusionists, and somewhere in the middle of the competition a love story blossoms, a love story that will touch every reader's heart.
When I first started reading the book, I was slowly losing interest because it didn't exactly go at a pace I wanted it to go and it was kind of confusing how it kept jumping from the past, when the circus was still being constructed, to the future. When I began reading about future, I asked myself what does this have to do with the competition and I later realize what happens in the future is connected to the competition, just as much as everything else. I kept pushing myself to keep reading and I don't regret it at all. This is definitely a must read, no doubt about it!
