Friday Reads - The Night Circus

[betta329]

The most FANTASTIC story I have EVER read!!! I was pretty skeptical about the hype but I loved The Time Traveler’s Wife so much and have been looking for a similar book for years, and this had a review by the author of TTTW so I couldn’t resist. It’s really fantastic and sweet and soft without being sappy. It’s just like cotton candy or ice cream

What book is it? Do you think it would be enjoyable for someone who didn't like The Time Travelers Wife? It certainly sounds different!

It's The Night Circus. Sorry. I forgot to copy and paste the title into the subject when I copied the review. LOL It depends on why you didn't like Time Traveler's Wife. If you didn't like it because of the somewhat disjointed nature of it, it's not so much like that. If you disliked it because you didn't like Henry and Claire, you might not like this. Well, that may not be entirely true. The romance is very subtle and doesn't take place until pretty late in the book, at least half way, whereas TTW it's the major element of the book all the way through, just done in an out of order way

Hee, I already planned to go on a hunt for this on Wednesday. Traveling to Brussels to go snoop through the English book stores, because I'm too impatient to order it online and wait 2 weeks. DAMN YOU.
