The Night Circus

This is my second attempt to read THE NIGHT CIRCUS. This time I finished it. And I have to say, I don't get what all the fuss is about. There's rave reviews everywhere. But for me, I was just lost for most of the story. I couldn't figure out the POV in any chapter, none of the characters really cared about others until near the end, and when push came to shove in the plot, a new illusion/magic trick appeared which made it impossible to make sense about what would happen next.

I think I'll go read some other reviews and hope I'm not completely alone in feeling this way about the book. Other readers convinced me to give it a second chance. They said the ending was worth it. Well, I don't think so. I can usually finish a long book like this in 2 or 3 days. This took me twice that long.
