The Night Circus is a book that is more imaginative than anything I've read in a long time. It is magical and whimsical as well as dark and disturbing. It is dreamlike and fantastic with haunted undertones. It is enchanting and charming and dangerous. The story is told in alternating points of view and times, in the third person present tense. The scattered scenes work together seamlessly to add both knowledge and mystery, without causing the sort of confusion that makes a story difficult to follow. The pacing is perfect. The setting is grandiose. The prose is lush, magical, and dreamlike. The imagery of the circus is delightful, engrossing, and easily imagined by the descriptions. The world building surrounding the circus is incredibly well done, hitting on all of the senses. While The Night Circus follows several characters who are involved with the circus, the story centers around Celia and Marco, two magicians pitted against each other in a mysterious duel. The cast of characters surrounding Le Cirque des Rêves is as unique as the circus itself. They range from architects and clock makers to dreamers and ballerinas to illusionists and contortionists. The circus is the catalyst for the relationships that develop between them. It connects them. And by the time that I was finished with the book, I had become connected to them as well. The Night Circus had me engrossed in the story and characters, and especially the setting. I read it slowly, not because I was disinterested, but because I did not want it to end. I savored every word, and would recommend it to anyone, particularly those who find appealing the idea of crawling into this dream of a circus for a little while. http://mimosastimulus.blogspot.com

Obviously it's a 1 volume history of California, and while I found it thoroughly interesting, I did find it tended to glaze over sections of history that I personally found deeply interesting, a good book for sure, essential reading for those starting out researching into the history of the region, but poor for those looking for intense detail.
