The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

I kept seeing this book everywhere, which is a really great way to get me to read a book. Eventually I grabbed it from the library.

For the most part, I thought it was a very good read, consistent, inviting, intriguing. The middle got a little bit over-wrought with description for me (as much as the physical surroundings in this book are important, I didn’t want to see them in every detail, and it often caused me to skip ahead) and I found myself just wanting to know “what happens next?!” rather than caring about smaller details. I wonder if the ending was a little bit too happy.

Read it if you’re in the mood for a beautiful, magical world and you want to get lost for a little while.
