The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
5.0
I'll say this first: Everybody should read this book at least once in their lives.
Also, Erin Morgenstern is born to write.
I have been reading all the previous reviews of this book, and surprisingly I agree with every type of them, whether the five-star ones or the one-star ones.
This book is so peculiar and twisted and unique that I don't even know where to start this review.
Some explain that this book took them to the land of their dreams and that this setting was wondrous while some complain that the progress is so very slow. And I agree, I agree.
Some might like it and some even might hate it, that's how unique it is but, despite it all, everyone should read this.
I am glad I came under the ones who loved it because I have every reason to hate it. From my previous reviews, you will know that I do NOT enjoy books that have slow progress, too many descriptives, lack of character development, and cliched love stories and this book had all of these, but still, I loved the ride it took me in. That is the sole reason why this book gets a five-star review from me.
First of all, I love the concept, even though it didn't develop as well as I wanted it to, I just love the fact that the author could come with such a concept and implement it to a good enough story.
Another thing was that I could feel the power this author held, over her own characters and mostly over the readers, it was like 'take it if you want or leave it, this work is a masterpiece in itself.'
Not all books should be perfect to get a great review.
All the elements were just so subtle yet so impactful, literally 16 years just flowed like water.
The writing style is nothing like I have ever seen and it's just so wondrous.
Also, don't get swept away by the description Goodreads provides, the real thing is far more twisted. I came in expecting something but got something I never thought I'd get.
The ride it took me in, the places it took me, the imaginations it gave me, I absolutely loved it for not being brilliant.
This is what I called being imperfect is being perfect.
