The Night Circus -- Take 2

What a delightful tale!  To be clear, The Night Circus certainly will not be for everyone.  It's about the circus, after all - a circus with real magic.  But if you can, for a few hundred pages (or 11 CDs) suspend your disbelief about those minor details, it is an easy, fun story with a surprisingly dark turn.

I do, however, stand by my previous statement that sometimes the flowery description can run overly long.  Also in reference to the first post, the second person was a good choice in this context; it works.

One thing I cannot let go without comment: there is a character in the book whom the narrator refers to as "the man in the grey suit," which I just could not get past without thinking of that Bruce Hornsby song, The Way It Is: "the man in a silk suit hurries by, as he catches a poor old lady's eye, just for fun he says, 'get a job.'"
