Beautifully visual writing brings the circus to life. Would take very little to turn into an equally beautiful movie. The Night Circus alone would be a tale describing the various tents and themes (wishing trees, acrobats, trained kittens, magical carrosel. Adding the competition between the two main characters and their surrounding friends enhances the circus through their interactions perfectly. Only complaint is a mild one that the jumps in time (Contest is over years) makes it hard to keep and dramatic tension. I still occasionally think about the book and the character of the circus itself is my favorite.
