Every once in awhile, I encounter perfect. Reading The Night Circus, the real world melted away and I was entranced (for lack of a better word). I was sucked in immediately. Honestly, I have not had a book hit me like this since the first Harry Potter I read. I didn't just want to read the book, I wanted to LIVE in the book. I almost wish I could erase it from my mind and read it again for the first time.

I liked the book but I think it might be easier to keep track by reading the book, rather than listening to it. I might try to get a copy from the library to read in the future.
A fascinating read set in the night circus. Good characters and a the most amazing scenery to imagine . A joy for a reader who is a dreamer too.

Very entertaining story, and very clean.
Makes me want to hold a midnight dinner party....
I finally read this 100 years after everyone else (or so it feels). I don’t normally read fantasy but I enjoyed this one. It had a very dreamy quality. At first I didn’t get why one character’s story was part of this but of course it all comes together eventually.
I just don't know what to think yet.... Overall it is a yes.
