Customer Reviews

My new favorite star-crossed lovers!

I was starting to give up on many romantic titles until a friend recommended this book. She already knew I was a hopeless romantic albeit dissatisfied with a lot of "popular romances" and convinced me to read this one. The main love story made me sigh more than once and the supporting cast of characters was spectacular on its own. I already regret it reading it all in a single afternoon.

I love this book

I love the night circus. It is one of my favorite books of all time. I read it really fast and didn't want it to end.

The Best Fantasy Novel I've Ever Read!

Erin Morgenstern does an amazing job of making the impossible, vivid and tangible. From the tastes, sights, and smells, to the unique relationships and glances exchanged. Definitely worth the read!

One of my favorites!

Couldn't put it down, read in 2 days. Love, love, love this book.

Takes a while to get into it

I thought the book was ok because it had potential for a good story line and an interesting magical world, but a lot was left unexplained and it took a while to get into any of the action. I found myself skipping around a lot and the romance aspect was not fleshed out properly. Kinda like a worse version of AHS Freak Show without the interesting parts, it was a bit dry. Overall, a light read and not worth purchasing.

Very well written

A beautifully written quick book. Fun to read; I became completely absorbed in the imagery.

I liked it

I love the story...

Sent with No dust jacket

I ordered a copy that was supposed to come with a dust jacket, but the copy I got did not have one. At least the book was in good condition. The same thing has happened to me in the past with other books.

Absolutely amazing!

I read this book so fast! I loved every second of it. My only complaint is that it isn't longer.

Loved!

I loved this book and it is one I will never forget. A very different, intriguing story and it is one of those books you will likely never forget after you've read it. Very, very good!

awesome

I had a marvelous time reading this book! I cannot recommend it enough

Wonderful writing sweeps you along before you know it.

I loved this book so much. My dear friend, and my kid both told me I needed to read it. And I'm so glad they did. I couldn't put it down, but near the end I didn't want it to end. It just sweeps you up in this world and I never wanted to re-emerge. Good for kids and adults alike!

The Night Circus is my all time favourite book.

This book is so enthralling and so detailed, you’ll get lost in the circus itself and will certainly sigh with content once it comes to an end because you know that no matter how many times you read it, you’ll always find something new and you get to enjoy it all over again. The different scenes and backgrounds are woven into a stunning thrill of events and it’ll take your breath away. Most definitely recommend it anybody and everybody.

Couldn’t put the night circus down

I wish there were more books such as this! Such magic and surprise. Will Erin Morgenstern please write another novel. This book make me happy when I was sad! Filled with such imagination!! Cannot say enough. A must read!

The Blue Moon of novels

There is nothing like this book, it is magical, whimsical, passionate, spontaneous, beautiful and time-stopping. I first found this book a few years ago at my local bookstore and decided to give it a go based on the beauty of the cover art. After the first page I was hooked. I cried and laughed and held my breath and wished the story was real. I got lost in the descriptions and colors and sheer mystery of it. When i turned the final page, I went back to page one and started it again because I couldn't imagine just walking away from this incredible world that Erin Morgenstern has gifted us with. This book is a must read.

Never put it down

I began reading this on a Thursday while with my brother at a weekend festival. Once I started my brother would beg me to take a break cause I kept reading it while walking through the festival. I finished the entire thing in 3 days and nearly cried when it was over. There's a reason it's on almost everyone's "must read" lists.

Absolutely beautiful

This is unlike any love story that I have ever read. There is time, a lot of time for there to be a deep-rooted love. It's just so beautiful, so whimsical, so magical comma leaves me longing and let you depart the world for a moment. I highly recommend it.

Amazing book

I've read this book more then a few times and it's just as magical every time. Definitely worth the read, it blends fiction and reality together is such a magical way.
