unconvincing

A good idea, but the writer wasn't up to the job of making it work. Wooden, lacked vibrancy and sensuousness. Prim, characters 2-dimensional, boy were the protagonists boring! Dialogue clunky. If you are creating an alternative reality, you have to make it real within itself so the reader can trust it and become immersed in it. I lost faith with it round about when the opponents realised who they were, and didn't finish it. And humourless! Why not some humour, dirt, sex, food? - anything to give us links of experience, things we can use to bridge into the imaginary world? Rothfuss, Luis Zafon, Allende, Marlon James - spring to mind as authors who would have made a much better job.Read full review

A beautiful, fantasy novel

If you enjoy mystical, fantasy novels then this is a must read. The Night Circus is beautifully written with vivid imagery and a compelling story. The description of the circus is so detailed it transports the reader directly into the scene. My only regret is that the Circus of Dreams isn’t actually real! If ever there was a setting I could experience, the circus of Morgenstern’s would be top of my list. Read full review

Imaginative mind whirling fantasy. Easy enjoyable reading

Not quite as good as cracked up to be, light frothy and fun. And of course original. As an adult Harry Potters later books and those of CS Lewis are better. Still a good read
