Hi guys!
I don't think that will be the review of the book (simply, because I didn't finish it yet :/ ) but it will be looking at this book from my point of view!
So I'm really mad for everything victorian (well not the toilets...)! I like the feshion, art, houses, life, feeling, food... and now the new love is here: Magic in the victorian era. Not that I believe in magic, but it would be so much fun if magic would exist!
I always loved witches, magic everything that farytales has hahaha. And with magic comes the mystery of it, and how can somebody tell or explain magic to us. And magic can be good, bad or something in the middle! (Little in the middle!) But it will still be beatiful, even if it's bad.
And the next mistery is of course the circus! Nowdays the circus has lost it's power if you ask me! Now we see a circus like doing weird stuff with animals and blah blah blah... But like 100 years ago that was different, there were small people, there were mermaids (oh, I could write about them, maybe another time :) ), there were illusionists and all weird stuff.
Now we don't have this anymore, because we have science and we know about those stuff. But in the victorian times that was totally different, people were amazed by the let's say darknes of the circus, by the feeling of it, by the mistery that circus had.
If I could go back in time, I would definitely visit the circus! I wonder how it would be...
well that's why I'm reading The night circus!
It has that feel of magic, the book sucks you in it and you are there, standing in fron of that big, weirs, white flamed bonfire! And there are those little paths that leads you/takes you to the different performances and I think that's magic! That journey through your imagination.
I'm not going to talk a lot about the story, cuz I don't know how it ends, but I really like (I just don't like that he-Marco loves two women :/ weird, but I'll let the story to tell me and takes me where ever it wants to)
I have to say that the book is for slow reading, so if you choose to read it, take time, maybe on the train or when your bored, coz story is big and that "biggnes" will take you through the journey that you can't imagine!
And you'll feel that you're a part of it, really!
So if you read it, or if you are reading it, tell me your thought and feeling (just please don't tell me the end)
