THE TIKTOK SENSATION

Discover the million-copy bestselling fantasy read.

The circus arrives without warning. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not.

Against the grey sky the towering tents are striped black and white. A sign hanging upon an iron gates reads:

Opens at Nightfall
Closes at Dawn

Full of breath-taking amazements and open only at night, Le Cirque des Rêves seems to cast a spell over all who wander its circular paths. But behind the glittering acrobats, fortune-tellers and contortionists a fierce competition is underway.

Celia and Marco are two young magicians who have been trained since childhood for a deadly duel. With the lives of everyone at the Circus of Dreams at stake, they must test the very limits of the imagination, and of their love.

Lush, evocative, dreamlike...a magical, coming-of-age story
Dark and dreamy; a captivating love story
The Night Circus made me happy. Playful and intensely imaginative, Erin Morgenstern has created the circus I have always longed for. This is a marvelous book
Enchanting, and affecting... A strikingly beautiful world, in spite of its darkness
Dazzling
An extraordinary blend of dream and nightmare will take you on a magical journey (Viv Groskop)
Deliciously inventive... Don't imagine this is a light, frothy tale. For all her humorous touches, Morgernstern...has produced something darker than night
The only response to this novel is simply: wow. It is a breathtaking feat of imagination, a flight of fancy that pulls you in and wraps you up in its spell
Charming, magical, mysterious, enthralling
Lushly imagined, extremely charming and very, very readable

Quite the most mysterious, magical and remarkable book i have read in a long time. A spell is cast and reader is drawn into the plot. Original and unique I hope to see more from this super talented author.

a masterpiece

This is an eerily beautiful novel. It has a compelling story, dark sense of humour and, it is easy to detect by the sheer glee in which the writer unfolds the story, that she enjoyed writing it as much as I enjoyed listening to it. I recommend! x

This book took quite a while to get going. I felt that it was a bit long and sometimes could be confusing, jumping around between locations and times, with quite a few characters. The only problem with audiobooks is that you can't flick back a couple of pages to check who people are! However, the second half picked up the pace a lot and it became engrossing. Jim Dale gives a fantastic performance and overall it was extremely enjoyable and you really got sucked into the magical circus. I'm not sure of the age it is aimed at - young adults, perhaps.

Would you listen to The Night Circus again? Why?

Beautifully written story with an outstanding performance from the narrator.

What other book might you compare The Night Circus to, and why?

Tully unique story.

Have you listened to any of Jim Dale’s other performances? How does this one compare?

I hope to come across more of Jim Dale's performances. One of the best comparing to other narrators.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

It would be almost unfair to choose one part of the book, as there were just so many breathtaking scenes and events. Still, the ending was astonishing. I wished the book never came to an end...

Any additional comments?

I could not put down the Night Circus since the first chapter. Beautifully and cleverly written story about two kindred souls bound to the magical night circus and its fantastical world.

Would you listen to The Night Circus again? Why?


1. This novel is not what it says it is. Well, back page copy is always a weird thing anyway, as it’s not written by the author. And a weirder thing because it is essentially a glamour shot of the novel. It is not a lie. But it isn’t really what the novel looks like when it’s wandering around in its bathrobe getting coffee and trying to figure out if that smell is coming from the kitchen sink disposal or under the table. The resemblance is always a bit sketchy. THE NIGHT CIRCUS’ resemblance to its cover copy is sketchier than most.

2. This novel is about a thing. It has people in it, too, but it is mostly about a thing, the eponymous circus. It’s told in third person omniscient, which means it sounds like God is narrating the thing, if God decided he really loved black and white tents and fancy umbrellas. The voice that narrates this book is interested in humans, too, but mostly about how humans make the circus and the circus’ magic interesting.

3. This is not a romance. There is a love story in it, which is good, because love makes the world go round, but it is not a romance. If you go in imagining to be swept off your feet from page one, you can keep on imagining. The novel starts before our lovebirds have hit puberty, so you’re going to have to imagine for quite awhile.

4. The circus is not really a circus. This is fine by me, because I actually don’t care for circuses. They smell, the animals always have that look of dubious maltreatment, no, I don’t want to win a prize by shooting that thing off that other thing over there, and also, clowns look a little grubby to me. No, the Night Circus is a circus in the respect that there are tents, and there are performers, and some of them are acrobats. Mostly it is a place where pretty, pretty magic is passed off as illusion so that us muggles won’t be scared by it. I’d go to that circus.

5. This is not a thriller. This is a not an action-packed adventure. It’s not even a simmering revenge or bubbling rivalry novel. It is a novel about a thing, with love in it, and it spans over a decade. If you have a problem with that idea, it’s best you walk away now. But if you like Ann Patchett or Audrey Niffeneggar novels, or if you really thought JONATHAN STRANGE & MR. NORRELL was the bee’s knees, well. WELL. You have just found your next read. Enjoy. I did

Who was your favorite character and why?

I connected with Celia pretty early on. She, Poppet, and Widget are my favorite characters.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

the end it justified the whole book

Any additional comments?

This book is entrancing. It’s enthralling and not in a way normal fantasy fiction is written nowadays. It’s very wording is magical and it feels like every word is measured. This novel takes you back to a fireplace, where you sit captivated in the dark.

Morgenstern unfolds this book like it’s a precious flower, the life woven in being exposed as each petal folds down, exposing more beauty and strength.

The way in which she wrote this story is almost more appealing than the story itself.

We lead strange lives, chasing our dreams around
