I need one of my friends to read this book so I can talk it over. Because I can't decide if I liked it or loved it. I never quite lost myself in the world of Le Cirque des Rêves. This is quite an imaginative book, I've never quite read anything like it before. It is a story of love, magic, imagination and belief. What I did not like was that in a few places the pace dragged. What I did like, however, was the twists and turns that challenged me to wonder what was going to happen next--how the challenge would play out. It stimulated all my senses and I wished I could walk the grounds with the other Revers.
I happened upon your blog through a line of readers (basically stemming from Miz B at Should Be Reading). Quick reply, eh?
With all the hype surrounding this book, I wondered if I would like it. It took awhile to digest it, discuss it at book club, and then decide I think I love it. lol
There is a variety of reviews at http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11506091-the-night-circus, in case you use goodreads.
Lesson 1: read your older posts before the new ones, so I don't ask you to write what you already have.
It sounds very interesting, and a book I would want to read in print, rather than listen to, so I can refer back when the plot twists. Perhaps I'll read it soon and see how it goes.
