Reseñas de la Crítica

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

long winded

it was a good story, well presented a but drawn out.
I battled to finish.

Fantastic!

Such an amazing story that mixes fantasy, romance and adventure. You follow multiple stories / characters through wildly different places and times.

The only bummer is that the narrator had the same voice for all the men that didn’t quite match the tone but fantastic otherwise. Would 10/10 recommend!!

Distracted by narrator

That sounded like an interesting story so I went to listen to it the narrator has the sense of urgency and propulsion that I found really stressful to listen to so I stopped perhaps somebody will find a different response to it but it was it was really distracted to me

interesting premise and description, but fails

to land any emotional punches. Beautiful but superficial. Most of the book feels like the introduction to the grand event, but the grand event never happens. Instead there are just a series of smaller events that wind things up without solid answers to many of the questions that I had.

Atmospheric presentation and original storyline

I was not sure what to expect having only read the reveiws of this book. It was a slow start and initially the narrators voice did not seem to suit, but after a while it began to become familiar and by the end I could not imagine an alternative. The story line is unusual and the descriptions are vivid but the plotline is rather convoluted and I would have preferred a more dramatic ending. But all in all very enjoyable.
