what a magical, enchanting journey. I hereby declare this novel deemed worthy enough to be one of my favourite novels. a throne in my favorites shelf is in order. an arousing and invigorating read, I must say. wonderful piece of literature, this is. I shall have to quote my friend (who, by the way, introduced me to this book) to support the statement I've just announced. "I SAID IT BEFORE AND I'LL SAY IT AGAIN. THE NIGHT CIRCUS ISN'T A BOOK. IT'S AN ORGASM." 
 this magnificent tale stirred emotions in me. I experienced the same urge to flail and cry my heart out whilst watching this extraordinary performance by none other than Marco & Melanie from Season 8 of So You Think You Can Dance accompanied by the song called I Got You by Leona Lewis. check it out! (and it matches their black and white with red theme too, I cry)
