The Continued Reading of "The Night Circus"

 

 

I found myself relaxing in Orlando this weekend, but could not seem to tear myself away from The Night Circus.  This book, out of all of the books that I have read for this class, is by far my favorite!  I find it very funny that this book is technically written for adults, but I find it to be the most appropriate for all of my students.  The content of the book is perfect for holding the attention of any teenager, and definitely any adult.  I am more than halfway through the book, and it continues to fascinate me.

The one thing that may be confusing for some, but that I really like, is that the book jumps back and forth between years.  This gives the reader an opportunity to do some great inferencing while reading.  The reader has the opportunity to try to figure out how Celia and Marco will perform their magical duel, while falling in love with one another. 

Many new characters have been introduced in the book, but the most interesting seem to be the auxillary characters that come in contact with the many performers in the circus. 

 

I will add more to this post, but the book is calling me!!!!
