@sassymonkey went to BEA and all I got was a really awesome, amazing, unforgettable book (an advanced copy.) WIN for me! (OK I got some other books but this is the first one I’ve read…)
The Night Circus was… Magical. Fabulous. Creepy. Beautiful. Fascinating. Frightening. Overwhelming. Awe-inspiring. A-Freaking-Mazing.
I’m talking about both the book and the Le Cirque des Reves.
This is the kind of book that I want to devour in one sitting. But it’s also the kind of book that I wanted to put down and think about – to really dig into the imagery. I wanted to know how it all ended but I was sorry to see it end. (And it ended so very well, I think.)
This one… might be the best book I read all year.
You should pre-order now. I’m actually wondering whether I’d like it just as well on audio and am considering buying it on audio. That my friends is how much I like this story.
I’m glad you liked it. 🙂 It’s still sitting in my BEA pile but I’ll be pulling it out to pack it for my next trip. It had great buzz at BEA and I’m glad to hear that it lives up to it. Oh, and the movie rights have already been sold so that’ll be coming at some point too.
