Overview
The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply
there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents
is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le
Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night.
But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway—a duel between two
young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood

2. expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors. Unbeknownst to them,
this is a game in which only one can be left standing, and the circus is but the
stage for a remarkable battle of imagination and will. Despite themselves,
however, Celia and Marco tumble headfirst into love—a deep, magical love that
makes the lights flicker and the room grow warm whenever they so much as brush
hands.
True love or not, the game must play out, and the fates of everyone involved,
from the cast of extraordinary circus per-formers to the patrons, hang in the
balance, suspended as precariously as the daring acrobats overhead.
Written in rich, seductive prose, this spell-casting novel is a feast for the senses
and the heart.
Reviews
I remember when I was a kid, my Dad took me to the Circus, a small traveling
circus with a few shows and a fewer animals, a circus that was rare even then and
not heard of now of days. I remember holding my Dad's hand as we walked
through the huge big top tent and feeling something magical and rare falling over
me.
One show that I can clearly remember even years after is of a young woman, a
Aerial silk performer as she made the silk fabric dance for her with ease and grace
as it wrapped itself around and around her hands and body.
Erin Morgenstern's Night Circus was much like the aerial silk performer as the
story slowly and gracefully wrapped itself around me, unfolding at the same time a
magical world with intertwining stories of the past, present and future. Of love,
hate, hope, pain all bringing together a story that is unforgettable.
The circus arrives without warning.

3. Nothing has drawn me more into a book then that small little sentence. After that,
Morgenstern’s story took a life on it’s own with me along for the ride. As we meet
young Celia and Marco two children who are groomed at a young age to take up a
challenge as they only learn about and don’t know all the rules to as they become
adults. This rivalry takes center stage in the circus, the Le Cirque des Reves with
it’s black and white tents. Their lives become more entwined with one another as
their rivalry become something even greater- love. But with their love, the
foundation, the web and the people whom are part of the circus are all effected by
the decisions they make, no more so then the Circus- the beautiful magical being
that it has become itself.
Morgenstern’s gives the reader a beautiful puzzle piece as she writes and jumps
from past to present, this never became confusing as at times it answers a
question you thought about, but just adds to the ever growing world. The
descriptions of things take on something greater, as you can picture it so clearly in
your mind what this object would look like and how Celia or Marco would create
and perform their magic is just jaw dropping you tend to re-read the passage over
again in amazement and awe. Everyone and everything is so well rounded from
our two stars to their mentors and those who are part or love the circus such as
the red scarf wearing rêveurs who delight in the magic and dreams of the circus.
Everything is so enchanting that it’s hard to put the book down without wanting to
grab it up again or sharing a passage of the book with others. Much of the book
just sticks to you long after, as you become so drawn into the circus almost
becoming part of it yourself. There’s some words of wisdom in the book that strike
you deep in the heart and leaving you with some food for thought.
The book will have a lot of different meanings to those who read and become
capture by Morgenstern’s debut book’s magic. And that’s one of the most beautiful
parts I discovered about this book, that while it will mean something different to
each reader, it will still bring a sense of deep joy and perhaps a children like
wonder of magic and dreams back into our lives.
Sometimes, some books just don't lend themselves to an analytical, opinionated
review. I'm reluctant to do that kind of review here and now because the
experience of reading The Night Circus was like smelling a magnolia

4. blossom...perfect, sweet, rich, satisfying a need I didn't know I had until it was
met...but to examine it, to handle it, even gently, risks that somehow the magical
smooth gorgeously textured vessel of chastely erotic pleasure that this book is will
let it begin, inexorably and inevitably, to brown and curl and die, and
become...just a wonderful book.
I'm not ready for real life yet. I want the magic to linger just a little longer.
The physical book itself was a Christmas gift to me from a GoodReads friend, and
to him I offer humble thanks on bended knee. This was in the top five reading
experiences of my life, and will most likely remain there for the rest of it. I am
changed and exalted. And it is thanks to you, and your gift to me.
"The circus arrives without warning.
No announcements precede it, no paper notices on downtown posts and billboards,
no mentions or advertisements in local newspapers. It is simply there, when
yesterday it was not."
So our story begins – the circus just appearing out of the ether as did my advance
review copy of this debut novel, much to my delight. The UK edition looks
stunning with black edged paper and end papers illustrated with a pattern of
bowlers and top hats. This is a feast for the eyes which is perhaps not surprising
as the author is an artist but will the inside match the luxurious facade?
This is an odd review for me as, amid all my oohing and ahhing, I was all too
aware of how some of my bookish friends would absolutely hate this book and
would be cringing from the opening pages. So, best to get that elephant out of the
room before I go any further! If you don’t like magical realism, if you’re not a fan
of meandering narratives, if you prefer action, if you don’t like novels written in
the present tense, if you don’t like fantasy then there’s nothing for you here.
However, if, like me, you do like a bit of escapism, you like to slip into another
world, if you enjoy visual stimulation, then step right up!

5. The story is perhaps the least important element of The Night Circus, that role
being reserved for the circus itself but yes, there is an underlying narrative, the
story of two gifted young illusionists, Celia and Marco, being pitted against each
other in a lengthy battle the rules of which are vague. Le Cirque de Reves (the
Circus of Dreams) is the battlefield and it soon attracts a faithful following of
“reveurs” (dreamers) who follow its progress from town to town, continent to
continent by means of a shadowy underground movement. There is a secondary
storyline involving Bailey, a country boy who becomes linked to the circus and will
have a key role in future events. There is a varied cast of weird and wonderful
characters, including Celia’s villainous father, Hector, his rival, Alexander, the man
in the great suit as well as the supporting cast who keep the circus going. These
are not characters you expect to empathise with, this is a show after all and they
are there to entertain you just as the various tents house a myriad of visually
stunning scenes, the Ice Garden, the Cloud Maze, the Labyrinth etc.
Some have compared The Night Circus with Audrey Niffenegger and yes, I can see
slight similarities given that both authors are visual artists. Others mention Alice
Hoffman and yes, I can see some elements in common but Erin Morgenstern has
created a unique world with the Cirque de Reves and for those who are on the
right wavelength she has provided a pathway to a singularly enchanting universe,
one in which my inner child revelled. Highly recommended for all
“reveurs”/dreamers.
I am floored by this novel. It was a delight to read. It is completely mesmerizing.
It is the firefly you catch in the air a sweet summer night, or perhaps it is the
other way around? I was much caught in its spell. I want to sink into the walls and
the foundations of this world and nurse it. I want to plant sunflowers in the ground
and lift them towards the sun in its honor.
I love this novel. I keep saying this as of late, but it's one of those books. I will
read this novel again. So far, 2013 has been a great reading year for me.
Somehow I continuously pick great novels to read.
The world this story takes place in is a wonder. Erin Morgenstern herself has
described the worlds she writes about as fantastical, fairy tale-esque things with
magic and mystery and tea. I agree. I wish I could visit this dreamlike circus. I
would stroll around the tents and in and out of them for hours every night and

6. follow the circus across the world. I would be a rêveur. I am a rêveur. I should
stylish myself in black, white and grey with a touch of scarlet from here on.
I think this is the kind of book you love or hate. From other reviews I have seen,
most people are rating it as one or two stars or five. It is a book reader's book. I
think it takes a certain type, but... who am I to say? I couldn't describe the type.
All I can say is that it has an otherworldly air that sort of sweeps in and knocks
you off your feet, and that I thought it wonderful.
If I had to describe this book in one word, that word would probably
be...wondrous. This story made me want to smile, frown, laugh, and curl up into a
ball and cry. Try to imagine someone taking Carnivale, Somewhere in Time,
Something Wicked This Way Comes, and The Prestige and mashing them all
together into a poetic, stunning piece of fiction with a beautifully melancholic,
bittersweet ending. It made me crave magical autumn nights spent in a circus that
defies the conventional laws of the universe, and somehow made me nostalgic for
something I've never actually experienced. The imagery alone deserves the
highest praise, and it is complemented by a powerfully poignant tale of love and
grief, desire and loss, the magic that is all around us, even if we can't see it. It's
not a fast-paced tale, it is meandering, subtle, and completely amazing. This is the
kind of story that stays with you well after you've finished reading, a story that
makes you gaze into the distance and sigh every time you realize Le Cirque de
Reves hasn't materialized in your town overnight.
For some reason, this book reminds me of autumn, my favorite season (perhaps
due to the aforementioned similarity to Something Wicked This Way Comes), and I
think perhaps it will become a yearly read for me, when I inevitably begin to feel
that pull to see orange, smell pumpkin, and hear the dry rustling of dead leaves as
they dance down the street.
