ReviewsPraise for THE NIGHT CIRCUS: " The Night Circus made me happy. Playful and intensely imaginative, Erin Morgenstern has created the circus I have always longed for and she has populated it with dueling love-struck magicians, precocious kittens, hyper-elegant displays of beauty and complicated clocks. This is a marvelous book." -- Audrey Niffenegger, author of The Time Traveler's Wife "Self-assured, entertaining debut that blends genres and crosses continents in quest of magic& Generous in its vision and fun to read. Likely to be a big book-and, soon, a big movie, with all the franchise trimmings." - Kirkus Reviews (in a starred review) "'Dark as soot and bright as sparks,' The Night Circus still holds me willingly captive in a world of almost unbearable beauty. This is a love story on a grand scale: it creates, it destroys, it ultimately transcends. Take a bow, Erin Morgenstern. This is one of the best books I have ever read." - Brunonia Barry, author of The Lace Reader "A riveting debut. The Night Circus pulls you into a world as dark as it is dazzling, fully-realized but still something out of a dream. You will not want to leave it." - T a Obreht, author of The Tiger's Wife "Every once in awhile you find a novel so magical that there is no escaping its spell. The Night Circus is one of these rarities -- engrossing, beautifully written and utterly enchanting. If you choose to read just one novel this year, this is it." - Danielle Trussoni, author of Angelology "Pure pleasure...Erin Morgenstern is a gifted, classic storyteller, a tale-teller, a spinner of the charmed and mesmerizing -- I had many other things I was supposed to be doing, but the book kept drawing me back in and I tore through it. You can be certain this riveting debut will create a group of r veurs all its own." -Aimee Bender, author of The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake " The Night Circus is a gorgeously imagined fable poised in the high latitudes of Hans Christian Anderson and Oscar Wilde, with a few degrees toward Hesse's "Steppenwolf" for dangerous spice. The tale is masterfully written and invites allegorical interpretations even as its leisurely but persistent suspense gives it compelling charm. An enchanting read." - Katherine Dunn, author of Geek Love, Praise for THE NIGHT CIRCUS: " The Night Circus made me happy.

This is a marvelous book." -- Audrey Niffenegger, author of The Time Traveler's Wife "Debut author Morgenstern doesn't miss a beat in this smashing tale of greed, fate, and love...a giant, magical story destined for bestsellerdom. This is an electric debut on par with Special Topics in Calamity Physics ." --Publishers Weekly, starred review "Self-assured, entertaining debut that blends genres and crosses continents in quest of magic& Generous in its vision and fun to read. Likely to be a big book-and, soon, a big movie, with all the franchise trimmings." - Kirkus Reviews, starred review "This big and compelling first novel ushers in a menacing tone with its first sentence: "The circus arrives without warning."...With appeal for readers not particularly geared to fantasy but who plainly enjoy an unusual and well-drawn story, this one will make a good crossover suggestion." -- Booklist, starred review "'Dark as soot and bright as sparks,' The Night Circus still holds me willingly captive in a world of almost unbearable beauty.
