This book was unbelievable. I'm pretty sure I've never read a book that was as atmospheric as this one (except for maybe the The Raven Cycle series but that was atmospheric in another way). Morgenstern writes in such an elegant way that makes you think like all of it really happened, like Herr Thiessen himself sat down to write this book. But at the same time the story, the circus, feels like a dream. Only accessable at night and vanishing as fast and unexpected as it appeared. Morgenstern turns us into "reveurs", giving us the illusion of something so great and magical that leaves us wanting more. I can't help but want to experience the fascination of the circus firsthand. Unfortunately, Le Cirque des Reves does not exist in our world but if I wish to revisit I can always reread this fantastic book.
