The Night Circus: A Novel
by Erin Morgenstern
More Please (7/2/2011)
I find myself staring into space remembering parts of this wonderful book and not wanting to come back--I am far from young but I have never been to a circus, for one reason or another but have always been fascinated by all aspects-smells sights, sounds performers and audience-this book certainly whetted my desire to physically go. Ahhhh but is this about a circus--I think not--The Night Circus is just the wonderful vehicle provided for this splendid ride to a dimension not all can see.
This is a wonderful read- beautifully written with just the right amount of childlike wonder and adult emotion to keep the reader wanting more- Miss Morgenstern is truly a gifted author-as the Mad Hatter would say "Never lose your Muchness" Looking forward to the audio and movie version but even more so her future books.
