> LibraryThing Review: Audiobook....Well....Wrap yourself up in a red scarf, become one of the many "reveurs" (dreamers)who follow the "Night Circus" around the world and settle in for a mystical, charming, luscious, and definitely dreamy read! Contortionists, tarot readers, illusionists and many more populate this story, this dream of two students pitted against one another in a challenge which will only end in the destruction of one them. In a Harry Potterish world of those who practice magic and those who are magic, Erin Morgenstern has captured my imagination. A real pleasure! (And I must put in a plug for the audio version with Jim Dale as narrator!)
