Review of The Night Circus

As I mentioned earlier in the week, Robnation.org announced that we had been selected by Random House to receive and review an early Advance Reader's Edition of the new book and Summit Entertainment film, The Night Circus, by author Erin Morgenstern.

I had originally anticipated I would have the book finished to review in a week or two, but for the first time since I discovered The Twilight Saga books, I could not put this book down. So, just 3 short days after my journey through The Night Circus began, my review is ready.

The first word that comes to mind when I think of how to describe The Night Circus is enchanting. From the very beginning, author Erin Morgenstern pulls you into a world of magic and mystery when we are introduced to the two main characters, Celia and Marco, and learn that their magical destinies are already predetermined, but can't quite figure out what those destinies are. The whole set up for the two or them is fascinating enough, but it isn't until The Night Circus is introduced that we are totally transported to another place.

When Ms. Morgenstern describes the circus, it’s like you are there. You can see the tents and the mysterious, dazzling performers/displays inside of them, smell the caramel and popcorn, and feel the warmth of the bonfire in the courtyard. The only thing better then her masterfully written description of the circus is the way the events, timeline and plot unfold. It is pure genius.

I don’t want to go into too much detail so you can discover the vast surprises and delights this book has to offer on your own. Besides, there is already a great summary below. I will tell you that The Night Circus has it all; forbidden love, mystery, suspense, and an imaginary world you want to be a part of. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. If you loved Twilight, or even if you didn’t for that matter, you will love this book.

Ms. Morgenstern, I can only hope The Night Circus will continue and the train will roll on. Until then, I will be combing the fields donning my red scarf, hoping the black and white stripes magically appear in my town again soon. I am your faithful Reveur.

Summit Entertainment & Comic-Con 2011

SUMMIT ENTERTAINMENT SHOWCASES 2011 FILM RELEASES AT COMIC-CON® INTERNATIONAL IN SAN DIEGO

Los Angeles, CA June 13, 2011 – For the fourth year in a row, Summit Entertainment will provide the Comic-Con® International audience with a unique, interactive booth experience featuring films from the studio’s upcoming slate, including an action adventure update of the beloved THE THREE MUSKETEERS, the alien invasion thriller THE DARKEST HOUR with effects from visionary filmmaker Timur Bekmambetov, and the highly anticipated THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN – PART 1.

Those who stop by will be able to speak live via phone with select actors and filmmakers from Summit films, as well as participate in contests and giveaways. The authors of three novels that Summit Entertainment is bringing to life on the big screen will also complete autograph signings at the booth.

• Erin Morgenstern is the author of NIGHT CIRCUS, a novel about 19th century teenage illusionists.
• Isaac Marion is the author of WARM BODIES, in which an existentially tormented zombie begins an unlikely romance with the girlfriend of one of his victims. Jonathan Levine is attached to direct, with Nicholas Hoult (X-MEN: FIRST CLASS) and Teresa Palmer (I AM NUMBER FOUR) attached to star.
• Veronica Roth is the 22-year-old author of DIVERGENT, which launched on the New York Times best-seller list. In the dystopic future of DIVERGENT, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to a particular virtue: honesty, selflessness, bravery, peacefulness, or intelligence.

In addition to Summit’s booth presence at Comic-Con®, the studio will also host one of the first panels of the day in Hall H on Thursday, July 21st dedicated to THE TWILIGHT SAGA franchise. Fans interested in the story’s final chapters will be shown exclusive footage from THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN – PART 1 and be treated to a filmmaker and cast Q&A session providing details on the first half of the epic two part finale, in theatres November 18, 2011.
