But the skipping around in time was a little tedious for me. I also didn't find the love story very romantic.

I thought it was good, but not good enough to listen to twice. I loved how descriptive it was, but I didn't really understand the competition, and the parts that weren't about the circus didn't really hold my attention.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05394377676043920920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-47486203855150491372013-03-15T15:40:28.025-04:002013-03-15T15:40:28.025-04:00Spike and I listened to that book during a road tr...Spike and I listened to that book during a road trip last summer and we both enjoyed it but also agreed that sometimes the competition would lag on and on and not even really explain why what they were building was so magical except by saying how magical it was.<br /><br />I would def be a Rêveur though, obviously. :)<br /><br />Saw your comment above about never having read Life of Pi, please do so, it is amazing and so much better than the movie. The movie will seem like crap after you read the book. Heck, half the movie doesn't even exist in the book!Jen Feenyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12857381064146340597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-72153133750500954922013-03-15T11:07:36.430-04:002013-03-15T11:07:36.430-04:00I never read Life of Pi but I did see the movie an...I never read Life of Pi but I did see the movie and it was so beautiful! Could you visualize the same beauty?<br /><br />Night Circus took a lot of attention because of the shifting narrator and time line, but once I got the hang of paying attention to the header for each chapter I loved it.Jennifer Juniperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07087072033452320694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-77069575987716212772013-03-15T10:12:51.352-04:002013-03-15T10:12:51.352-04:00I'll have to get that book - you have my inter...I'll have to get that book - you have my interest up! I tried to read the Major Pettigrew book and couldn't get into it.
